I heard yesterday on NPR that Germany has banned the "Power for Living" ads.  Evidently they don't want the same kind of wacky right-minded-evangelist over-run that we seem to have in the USA.  Granted there were about 70,000 book requests before they took the ads down.  I have been kinda tempted to order one just to see what the psychobabble is, but I'm afraid they'd just keep on calling.

Well, you can feel better about yourself that you
DON'T know the song we are refering to.  The song in
question is, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", which
was recorded by TMBG, but is probably better know by
the Danny Kaye version: 

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

Sadly, the site where I found these lyrics credits the
song to "They Might Be Giants".  Sorry, this song is
actually good, that should be a heads up that John &
John did not write it. 

For full lyrics see:

http://www.com-www.com/musiclyrics/theymightbegiants-istanbulnotconstantinople.html

Also, of interest, some guy has compiled a list of
songs with geographics references (cities, states,
streets, etc.) among other topics:

Boy, can you imagine someone being so into musical
minutia?  ;)

Now, I *think* I have that album...Is that the one where the cover is a half-lit black and white shot of the guys in turtlenecks, with a purple banner across the top with the album title? And where every non-Beatle song has a 'cute' British title like 'Mersey Mash' or 'Soho Stomp' or something, but one of the songs is actually 'Just One Look?' Or is that something else? Because that one actually has one or two decent tunes on it...I forget what the cute title is, but the refrain is 'Why Can't You Love The Boy Who Love You'. I think that's actually a quality tune.

Well, if all you read was the bible, you'd likely be illiterate too. What
drives me insane is how many of these holier than thou types make claims
about things the bible supposedly says that are in no way true, using it to
justify all sorts of ridiculous things because "it's in the bible."  I
wouldn't be surprised to discover a lot of these people have never actually
read the bible and are simply reitterating their favorite evangelist's
twisted interpretation of said book. I also find it odd that people would
want to use a book that was written hundred and hundreds of years ago as a
guide to life in the year 2002. It boggles my mind, actually, but then I'm a
card-carry memmeber of the American Humanist Society, so I'm probably headed
straight to hell in a handbasket aren't I?  Oh, well, at least I can hang

I'd hang out with all of 'em!  Right after I ask Hoffa where they put his

With all this talk about Chritians and garage music, I took the liberty of
rewriting "He's  Waitin'" to reflect a more Christian view. Keep in mind
that this song shall be played with maxmium garagte fuzz and snotiness , yet
it extolls the virtues of knowing Him:

Ø He's Waiting (For you to accept Him as your Lord and Savior)

Ø
Ø The lord knows
What you have done
About you carryin' on
An' doin' sin
You knew it was wrong
But you had to play
Now you're gonna learn
He's the only way
Ø
It's not too late (it's not too late)
Accept him (accept him!)
Now you (now you)
Will love him (will love him)
It scared ya (it scared ya)
To hear the truth (to hear the truth)
But he's waitin', he's waitin',
He's waitin' for you to accept Him as your lord and savior!

You stayed out of church
Ø Just to play your sinful game
But you don't know
About His  name
You think you're happy
I got news for you
Well, God found out
Now Satan  you're through!

Chorus

Solo and random bible quotes

I don't know why
You won't get reborn
I guess your kinda girl
Loves the devil's horn
Jesus  knows whatcha did
By not accepting Him
An' the way he sees it
Your life's all grim!

Chorus

Whoa, baby, the lord's waitin' (the lord's waitin')
Yeah, whoa-ho, the lord's waitin' (the lord's waitin')
He's gonna get you yeah
He's waitin' (he's waitin')
He's waitin' (he's waitin')

Well, if you have to have a guide to life, I would say it's better to have
one with a little history behind it. The Kama Sutra is hundreds of years old
as well, and so is the United States Constitution.

That said, it is also true that philosophical and religious thought didn't
end with the writing of the Bible or the Koran. But i don't think it's odd
that people use the Bible as a guide to life. There is the controversial,
unprovable (and undisprovable) matter of divine inspiration to consider.

I do find that the All Music Guide has supplanted the Trouser Press Guide as
a guide to life and anybody who believes otherwise should be burned at the
stake.

Yours in toleration,

Sorry to bum people out with this rap discussion, but if you're
interested it's on Special Ed's "Yougest In Charge" album from 1989.  It
came out when i was in high school and at the time rap (I'm so lame I
still call it that...I think you're supposed to say "hip hop" now, but I
can't really bring myself to say something that silly...unless I'm
screaming "For goodness sake, I got the hippy hippy shake!", but I
digress) was still kinda new.  NWA, the DOC, Public Enemy seemed like
punk rock...all pissed off and frontal.  Anyway, Special Ed was rad!
His style was really quick and all his beats were old soul or reggae
songs.  There was even a "county" rap song called "Hoedown" on the
album.  It's very dated, but if you like that "Yo-MTV Raps!" era, it's
great.  Supposedly there's all this interest in him now because his
style was 10 years ahead of his time.  Snoop Dogg is trying to bring him
back or something.

Uh, back to the scheduled program!

I got a copy of his from Sean, and while it was interesting, I found it hard
to get through. I have no problem with having a large vocabulary and knowing
how to use it, but sometimes Sean goes overboard. That said, I did make it
though the entire book, but a few things, especially the anti-gay stuff
kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. But, I do love the Music Machine so that
part was pretty cool.

Ah, yer nuts! For one thing, "Mass in F Minor" is a 
friggin' masterpiece! And it ain't "Christian Music",
which to me means born-again Amy Grant crap, it's a 
rock take on olde classical Catholic church music.
Yeah, yeah, I know it's a little too far towards the 
"prog" end of the spectrum fer most on this list, and 
technically it ain't even a real Prunes record, but I 
likes it (as do most of the other lapsed Catholics I've 
played it for)...

Subject: Bob Enyart LIVE!

Dude...when I lived in Indiana this guy was on ALL THE TIME.  I used to
tape his show and send it to my friends in California.  You just can't
get comedy like that in civilization.  Bob has all these great products
you can buy too, like "God Hates Fags" screen savers and "Death Penalty
for Divorcees" beer cozies.  He is absolutely the embodiment of fucked
up Christianity.  I tried to research the guy a few years ago.  He was
one of the early programmers for Microsoft and made millions since he
got in on the ground floor of all these computer companies when they
were young.  He totally looks the part too...god, just thinking about
him makes me want to fucking smash his face in.  
Check out http://www.enyart.com/
I tried to call his show so many times when i was drunk, but it was
taped and I never really figured out when to call.  Like the old ladies
that don't turn their radios down when they call AM talk shows.
Do Da Do Da

I LOVE Chick tracts.  I remember being a teen and
getting all excited on road trip with my brother, when
I found a bunch of 'em in a McDonalds bathroom in
Connecticut (perhaps left a young Danny Ly???). 

To this day, nothing quite turns my day around like
finding one of those 8 page morality plays ("Only
premarital sex?  Welcome TO HELL!!!). 

This past week I found a couple at the ATM on my way
to work.  Coincidence, or is god trying to tell me
something?

"Only a christian"? More like "only a fundamentalist 
[pick your religion] would try and pervert gods natural 
work and tell us it is bad and try to make us feel guilty 
about it."

Fundamentalist zealots of any religion usually have more
in common with zealots of other religions than with 
the mainstream followers of their own religion...
