They TRIED To Warn Us !

Question

Several bands had hidden and overt political messages in their songs.

Many TRIED to warn us about Big Government, and what was to come.

Here is the band Spirit back in 1970 doing their song "1984" in honor to George Orwells book "A Brave New World".

Orwell predicted that by 1984 the Government would have "thought police" monitoring our minds.

Listen to our Western Brothers from Los Angeles, as they TRY to warn us of what is to come, WAY back in 1970 !

Here is another one, my GOD it's Steppenwolf singing their song "Monster"

The recording is old, but the WORDS are important.

Here is the video link Video: Steppenwolf - Monster

Here are the words.

Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom

(Monster)

Once the religious, the hunted and weary

Chasing the promise of freedom and hope

Came to this country to build a new vision

Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope

Like good Christians, some would burn the witches

Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America

They came by thousands to court the wild

And she just patiently smiled and bore a child

To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken

Westward in saddle and wagon it went

And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean

Many the lives which had come to an end

While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland

We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America

They came by thousands to court the wild

And she just patiently smiled and bore a child

To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it

They kicked it just like a dog

And when the war over

They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice

Kind was the spirit in many a way

But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping

Now it's a monster and will not obey

<A name=SUIDE>(Suicide)

The spirit was freedom and justice

And it's keepers seem generous and kind

It's leaders were supposed to serve the country

But now they won't pay it no mind

'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy

And now their vote is a meaningless joke

They babble about law and order

But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into a noose

And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles

And corruption is stranglin' the land

The police force is watching the people

And the people just can't understand

We don't know how to mind our own business

'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us

Now we are fighting a war over there

No matter who's the winner

We can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into a noose

And it just sits there watching

America where are you now?

Don't you care about your sons and daughters?

Don't you know we need you now

We can't fight alone against the monster

We just watched a dvd put out in 06 called The US vs John Lennon.

It was good.

THIS one is BAD, making fun of our military and all.

Being a Libretarian, I am opposed to war, unless we are attacked of course, or an attack is imminent.

It's funny how people say Nostradamus predicted certain events, but always after they have occured. That's not much of a prediction. What good is a prophesy that can only be decoded following the event it predicts?

Let's see someone decipher his rants and truly PREDICT some major event by actually foretelling it in time to avoid it. Now THAT would be something.

haha yea i was being sarcastic. They always look through the predictions afterward and find some referance to 911 if you read the page upside down backwards and translate it to chinese, french and back to english.

Yeah, like the "Bible Code" hoax, LOL

I subscribe to the Skeptical Inquirer magazine. Skeptical Inquirer magazine

They took a Mark Twain Novel and read it into a computer.

It "predicted" all kinds of stuff, LOL

There is NO such thing as ESP.

The Smithsonian Institution has a standing offer of a Million Dollars for anyone who can demonstrate ESP under scientific conditions.

No one has ever claimed the prize.
