Kea,

Re your 8:28pm. She’s blaming NATO, America and Israel for what’s happening with the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. I can understand America and NATO as they appear to have a Manchurian Candidate in charge, but it makes no sense for Israel to be supporting an Islamic fundamentalist overthrow of an apparently secular government.

PEB,

Likewise on that YouTube list. I consider that a badge of honour.

Good one, how come it took you so long to post sumsing that made sense ?.

Hendrix “Star Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock in light of Vietnam is a brilliant classic.

And Griff

‘Personal Jesus’ the origional, by DM is an uplifting, positive song.

The Johnny Cash version turned it into a sad dirge in my opinion.

Lucy, I have considered that myself, along with the bizarre spectacle of the US supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. I really do not know the answer. But I suspect Israel wants to see Syria and the surrounding Muslim countries weakened. The US would not be doing this without the approval of Israel. The US is fighting proxy wars for Israel.

Totally agree that’s why I like the emotion the man in black adds to the song. Cash changes it from uplifting new wave pop song to a reliquary for himself in a very powerful yet humble way.

Kea,

Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood is not weakening the surrounding Muslim countries – it’s like lighting the fuse and waiting for the subsequent explosion. If you’re in the zone, no way would you be wanting to set something like that off. So again, it makes absolutely no sense for Israel to be behind all this, unless they were stark raving mad and suicidal as well.

Just started listening to The Smiths again after years of being put off by the not most uplifting lyrics going around.

Reading a book at the moment ” Black Vinyl, White Powder by Simon Napier- Bell. He says Morrissey was a strange strange dude until he went on stage and just blew everyone away who thought the band had no future.

I saw Mozz last year, superb showman, great delivery and I walked away with my gob wide open going “oh wow”

Thats the mark of a good concert or any form of entertainment

No politics this morning, sport rules. Still enjoying the satisfaction of having the shield, I went to the stadium yesterday to see it in Otago hands for the first time for me.

An absorbing end to the Ashes.

And a blistering start to the final round of the Canadian open by Lydia Ko, 4 under after six holes, three shots clear in the lead.

“Not as good as he has been, harder to trust him than it was. He doesn’t appear as genuine as he once was.”

WHO?

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/9085347/John-Keys-believability-low

We may trust the prime minister, but we don’t necessarily believe him.

A majority of New Zealanders do not fully believe what John Key says, despite rating him as a strong and effective leader whom they trust to run the country, the latest Fairfax Media-Ipsos poll testing voters’ attitude to our political leaders shows.

Asked if they fully believed what Key said, 58.6 per cent said no and just 23.5 per cent yes.

yep
