Let's walk on by, this time, this time
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
...
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it



Þetta minnismerki er til vitnis um að við vitum hvað er að gerast og hvað þarf að gera. Aðeins þú veist hvort við gerðum eitthvað.

Following the recent UK vote, here is Genesis from their progressive rock days, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight from the album Selling England By the Pound, filled with word play and hinted social commentary.

Some decades ago a Southern California 50's band sang a beautiful rendition of Blue Moon as their closing number.
The lights faded and a strong blue spot illuminated the group, then shrank and focused on the drummer who spun about, dropped his pants and mooned the audience as the final chord faded.


I ran into the drummer at a few social events over the years. He was a Mensa hanger on with Terry as a given name. I've no memory of what they called the band. They had a large following in California, but Sha Na Na was appealing to the mass market at that time. Terry had some great stories.

Marillion - White Russian
Another progressive rock masterpiece, this time from the '90s, with a prophetic and disturbing theme.



"The more I see, the more I hear, the more I find fewer answers
I close my mind, I shout it out but you know it's getting harder
To calm me down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all about
I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, I can't pretend everything's alright
My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me
But to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons"

"Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

We buy fresh bagels from the corner store
Where swastikas are spat from aerosols
I sit in the bar sipping iced White Russian
Trying to score but nobody's pushing
And everyone looks at everyone's faces
Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence
Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home

We place our faith in human rights
In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight
I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy

In the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranks
I know that they would rather be standing here beside
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home

You can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another day"

Indian Lake - The Cowsills

My lake at this time, when I was a kid, was Aurora Lake.
They had a movies every night, on a big outdoor screen. A beach where they played the kind of songs I've listed here. They sprayed insecticide fog every dusk and we used to run through it. Once I was playing on a pinball machine (which had a small window behind it) and they sprayed the fog just as, with beginners luck, I hit the jackpot. The machine went crazy and smoke seemed to blow out the back. I ran to my mother and screamed "Mommy, Mommy, I broke the machine!". She was able to walk still, so I must have been about six years old.
Now it's a huge housing development.  :'(

EDIT: There was duck hunting there. I never hunted, but my Dad took me to 8 blind (still remember the number and the excitement of being on a tiny island).
