This is going to be a summer of music for me. Just weeks after successfully booking tickets to see Prince in London (they sold out after 30 minutes), we also came up in the lottery to see Live Earth at Wembley. It’s a good cause and I’m really excited about seeing the show.
Just a few more weeks. . .
I’m not very knowledgeable about popular music generally. Iâm still very much and 80s man, I guess. However, in the UK Iâve been hearing a lot about Reverend and the Makers. I heard their song âHeavyweight Champion of the Worldâ on Radio 1 this week and think its fantastic. Itâs my new favourite video. I think it will get very big in the coming weeks.
As a long-time Republican, I have become extremely disillusioned with the current state of the party. The Neo-Conservatives have ruined the party and helped to discredit America all over the world. Living abroad as I do, I often see the hypocrisy of the current administration (who doesnât?). I no longer consider myself a Republicanâbut I could never be a Democrat.
The war in Iraq is unjustifiable. Do 50% of Americans really still believe that Saddam Hussein had a part to play in September 11? After 4 years, the Republican presidential candidates are still talking about winning the war in Iraq. Except one.
Ron Paul is taking a lot of flak for speaking out about current foreign policy. Itâs refreshing to hear someone talking about the war for what it isâa failed foreign policy.
Ron Paul doesnât stand a chance of winning with the base of the party that votes in the primaries. Heâs very popular on the internet, but not in the polls. Still, itâs nice to hear him say the things that need to be said. When he drops out, it will be time to start looki:ng at the Democrats, unfortunately.
Hereâs a Youtube video from a CNN interview recently
