My Anthem, My Troubadour




Whilst drinking my first cuppa of the day, I like to visit the blogs I follow, to see what's new in their worlds.  One I follow is written by artist, Gary C. Myers.  He regularly features a link to a music video he finds interesting: today's link was to a song Johnny Cash recorded shortly before his death, "I See a Darkness."  

While at that video site, I found another song (God's Gonna Cut You Down) that seems fitting for these times and for the current Occupiers of our White House.  I have decided this will be my battlecry for this stage of The Resistance.  If interested, click the link under Johnny's image above.

I've put a link in the first para to Gary's page because of what he posted today.  I'd never seen that cartoon by Dr. Seuss before: how damned spooky can it get?   I don't know if Seuss wrote the blank verse, but I found it powerfully thought-provoking.

Hope today day goes well for all of you.

An excellent anthem. Long-tongued tiny-handed liar!

Zhoen: I think your second sentence belongs on a Resistance banner. Sums up the battle ahead.

Michael: And "...that midnight rider."

Harlequin: I can only imagine how Johnny would've responded to this, what song he would have written.
