The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

The country I come from is called the mid-West

My music collection-my sad little not containing every CD ever recorded-music collection-probably there's only 3,000 albums in one format or another in my collection-that's not near enough-needs CDs by:

early Bob Dylan (who I call Zimmy cuz we're tight) esp I need a copy of "Masters of War" and any of those beautiful singable protest songs from the early 60's-to wrap my mind around as I drive the distance to school. As of right now I am watching the Dylan doc on PBS-how fantastic is that little piece of history? Terribly fantastic. What my generation has forgottten, or maybe never known, is that there is a sense of community ijn protest and resistance. And that creates identity. We need an identity.
The Bobby quote that is so clearly drawn from The Patriot Game gives me my title for this entry. That being the case-the person that put these lyrics down has some issues with spelling and well, phonics and little stuff like that With God on Our Side But if you ignore the obvious errors it's enjoyable.
Anyone else creeped out to the power of 4 that when Dylan talks he has no nasal sound at all to his voice? He just sounds like any guy from Minnesota. That is damn strange, if you ask me.
