Alternative Energy Blues

Experimentation to identify new fuels is a perpetual process. Several emerging alternative fuels are under development or already developed and may be newly available in the United States.

No Surrender: ~OO~ Courage is the cure…

Surrender to corporate fascists, The CIA, 16 intelligence agencies, services, munitions contractors, war-profiteers and the Fortune 500 is certainly one option.

Let them pout when we call them out.

“Peace has never come from dropping bombs. … The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace. … Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.”
~Carlos Santana

Summertime Blues

“Summertime Blues”, it is said, took Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart just 45 minutes to write. Three verses about a teenager cursed by the fact that instead of cruising with his girlfriend, he has to spend the summer working, set to one of rock music’s first great guitar riffs. It was just an E, an A and a B7, but three chords were all Cochran needed.

Indigenous Blues

“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society.”
