How many more years, have I got to let you dog me around How many more years, have I got to let you dog me around I’d soon rather be dead, sleeping six feet in the ground I’m gonna fall on my knees, I’m gonna raise up my right hand I’m gonna fall on my knees, I’m gonna raise up my right hand Say I’d feel much better darling, if you’d just only understand I’m going upstairs, I’m gonna bring back down my clothes I’m going upstairs, I’m gonna bring back down my clothes, do them all If anybody ask about me, just tell’em I walked out on

“Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us.”
― Albert Einstein…

“…I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own — a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.”

conservative and liberal are adjectives and we can join together…

Albert King – Blues Power –
Blues is my religion…. Everybody knows this is nowhere…
In the midst of media mendacity and madness, we must maintain perspective…
Rather than surrendering to the lowest common denominator…
