I TOTALLY agree with what Rick says here. I heard a song on the radio a few days ago, and immediately knew it was Jeff Beck on guitar. Rick is a master at explaining the technical, but doesn’t talk about the heart, where this comes from, and then the technical makes it possible.
Beck is now 78. And I don’t know what’s going on with his heart spiritually, but what comes out of him is often amazing.
How in the world do people actually claim that any of us just happened by chance, created by no one?
Famous in the ’80s, Tears for Fears did a major concert tour this year with both Curt and Roland at age-60. This is my favorite version that I saw online. Has some spunk, and is good quality, especially considering it’s filmed on a tiny Sony RX-100 mk 7.
Kebu shows off his Roland synth collection. In this part, Kebu presents his JD-XA, SE-02 and FANTOM. In the end of the video, Kebu gives a jam with the three synths, controlled and clocked from the FANTOM.
Where have all the rebels gone?
Hiding behind computer screens
Where’s the spirit, where’s the soul?
Where have all the rebels gone?
Why don’t they come out of the woodwork now?
One for the money, two for the show
It’s not very rock and roll
Where have all the rebels gone?
Where have all the rebels gone?
Waiting for someone else to make a move
Why are they sitting on the fence?
Well, it’s some kind of pretence
They’re not saying much at all
Where have all the rebels gone?
Were they really all that tough?
Or was it just a PR stunt?
One for the money, two for the show
Where have all the rebels gone?
This just in
Another liar on the news
Standing at the pulpit
Ready to abuse
This just in
Another coward in control
Scared by the sounds
So he hides in a hole
He’ll call on the guards
To trample the crowd
‘Cause the louder they get
They silence his power
Shame, blame, no matter what they say
Don’t let the bastard get to you
He’s going to try to shut us down
But we’ll stand our ground
Hey, this just in, he’ll lose
This just in
Another villain on the screen
Acting like a hero
For all the drama queens
This just in
Another black painted face
Lathered in his virtue
Enslaving every race
He’ll send out the troops
And freeze the accounts
Says the freedom you get
Is what he makes allowed
Shame, blame, no matter what they say
Don’t let the bastard get to you
He’s going to try to shut us down
But we’ll stand our ground
Hey, this just in, he’ll lose
If you look in his eyes
You can see he’s afraid
So fragile inside
While the town’s on parade
Shame, blame, no matter what they say
Don’t let the bastard get to you
He’s going to try to shut us down
But we’ll stand our ground
Hey, this just in, he’ll lose
No he’ll never shut us down
‘Cause we’ll stand our ground
Hey, this just in, you lose
Deep lyrics go by so fast. May help to slow it down to .75x speed; or an amazing read!
I put in quotes: ‘stop all the hate.’
– –
Everybody head down, pick yourself a pronoun
Join the resistance on government assistance ‘Stop all the hate’ as you advocate violence Block and suppress anyone you want silenced Take what you want ‘cause what you want is what you’re owed Call everyone a fascist ’til they’re all controlled
Preach in the street for the communist party Pro choice, no voice, never mind the heart beat Dictate, race bait, agitate, mandate Dress in drag and burn the flag then run to find a safe space
Tell us how you feel until we give you what you need Call everyone oppressive ’til they’re on their knees
Impeach free speech, better dye your hair pink
TV, phone screen, it’s better if you don’t think
Debt to university, segregate diversity Give yourself a ribbon every time you face adversity
Find another problem, tell yourself you’re not alone Tell everyone who’s straight that they’re all transphobe
Defund police. No guns, oh please Fight for your right to start a war until there’s no peace Take it down, tear it up, it’s in the name of progress Make the rule you never lose ’til everything is lawless Tell me what to think, and how to feel, and where to go ‘Cause everyone’s a fascist ’til they’re all controlled
Find your path in life but make it socio or psycho Nonsense, wokeness, you’re gonna lose your mind though Bigotry, insanity, an ally, or an enemy
There’s too much masculinity so wave goodbye to family Represent the one percent who want to overthrow ’Til everybody lives to an autonomous zone
Act tough, steel stuff, smash another window
Loot store, get more, grab another brick, throw She/Her/He/Him/They/Them/Xe/Xem Women are the men now and the men are now the women Make yourself a slave until you feel like you are free Dig yourself a grave for The American Dream

Somebody’s selling a new religion
Somebody’s selling a lie
Somebody wants all the strife and division
That’s driving us out of our minds
They’re telling the world not trust their own eyes
They’re telling the people they’re wrong
They’re keeping the truth for their power and gain
And taking whatever we’ve got
And some of you eat all the lies you’ve been fed
Some of you just go along
Training acceptance inside of your head
To give them whatever they want
You’re leaving your brothers and sisters behind
You’re told it’s the best thing to do
You’re shutting out friends ‘cause you’re told that’s what’s right
Now they win because all of us lose
And it’s so sad
Watching these times as they change
And it’s so bad
The battle’s been violent and strange
As they lock us indoors
In a prison of this silent war
Now someone is trying to sell you the cure
The same one who made the disease
And they’ll try to convince you and make you feel sure
But hey, there ain’t no guarantees
They covered your mouth and they’ve tied back your hands
They did it to all of the kids
And nobody knows all the damage that’s done
And won’t ask until the master permits
So take back your freedom
And fight for your life
Stand up before it’s all gone
Take back your freedom
And fight for your life
Stand up before it’s all gone
