I'll definitely have to check it out.

Decades ago, I knew a guy who worked as clerk in a porn store, just as video was taking over the medium. In those days they had film loops in the viewing booths for the pervs to watch. My buddy was a film student, in his spare time at work he would splice art scenes and religious bits into the loops, just barely long enough to be seen for about a half second, but not long enough to be comprehended. He found that this was best for putting a "WTF?" look on the pervs faces, but not ask questions when they came out of the booths.

When his boss finally caught him doing it, he canned him. However, the local papers picked it up, making him a local celeb, and getting him a few offers in the film industry, one of which he took. As a far as I know he's still on the West Coast working in the industry.

I was in middle and high school when the Satanic Panic happened. In 7th grade we had a music teacher who spent more time warning us about Satan and drugs and how "Another One Bites the Dust" has "I want marijuana" in it if you play it backwards. She also hated the cover art of Santana's first LP. She got canned halfway through the year.

Interesting video... can't say I agree with some of it but some I do.

It's hard for me to realize what they are talking about because so much of it is 'news' to me.

You see, I don't watch TV, nor do I listen to AM or FM radio unless the phone rings and something shows up where it isn't suppose to be... call them bogies or whatever.  I don't read Ragizines... I do read books but I can welly read between the lines so to speak.

The high point for me was that Markie of DEVO was in the thing...  Are we not men?  We are DEVO!

That being said;

I believe a lot of the poor propagation on shortwave these days has to do with all of this damned OTHR BS... and even Haarp (sp?).  Think of bombarding human cells with energy at a level that seems consistent with size and weight and what do you have?  Perhaps fried guts or a new form of cell aka; demented.  Pounding the upper parts of the atmosphere with RF at these levels is bound (IMHO) to have some sort of effect on the human genome... Perhaps to make 'Global Climate Change' a reality for some hidden means...  Make it look like it is happening when in fact it really isn't.  It's a bad thing no matter what anyone says...

OK folks... I'm ready for the comments...  ::)  if any of course  :P

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

"I buried Paul..."

And who could argue with that?  John was the only real talent in that group...

"The only thing you did was yesterday"

And that was sung front and center... no sublim about that  ;D

All kidding aside:

I agree, this was an excellent presentation and it should be an 'ACE' in its grade... kudos!
