Video of The Week — The Sagan Series (Pt 3) – A Reassuring Fable Leave a comment
I subscribe to the blog, Scriptor Obscura. This morning she shared a video posted on the Facebook page, “The Sagan Series.” If you are looking for some “food for thought,” this just might be more than many can chew. This series was first broadcast on PBS in 1980 and it is still generating plenty of discussion today — sometimes, with little civility. Like almost all of Sagan’s work, it’s a great video.

This one was came about because of a Facebook entry by Larry Winters (KPFT Spare Change Show) on Hayes, who was a guest on his show yesterday. (Click here for a link to a posted video from the show.)
Hayes also appeared on The Tonight Show this past January:

There is so much about the music of Texas singer/song writer, Alejandro Escovedo, to like; it’s not always easy to get your feelings around it. The easiest way for me is to say, he speaks to me and I hear him. He is a master of his art. In a similar way, Todd V. Wolfson’s video grabs my inter feelings. In some ways it’s like a dream sequence, loaded with the rough disconnect dreams can be with reality. This is a great art video! Take the time (approximately ten minutes) to watch it. It’s cool!

Video of The Week — “The Holidays Are Here . . .” 1 comment
The Holidays Are Here and We’re Still At War
For the last several years, Larry Winters (KPFT, Spare Change Show) has played this song during the Holidays. Since we are about to spend our Christmas Day hiking in the Catalina Foothills, we will not be streaming the show. So, here’s Brett Dennen’s song that sadly will remain a Holiday standard forever. Seem’s we will aways be at war somewhere.

Pilgrims in the parking lot
Arteries clogged with blood clots
Pushing through the aisles of department stores
Neon crosses and Christmas lights
Credit card debts and brand new bikes
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
The rabbi reads from the testament
The banker gazes at the year’s investments
Salvation santa’s solicit for the poor
Deception of democracy
The philanderings of faux foreign policy
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
Smoggy skies and fixed elections
Injustice strikes from all directions
People with their backs against the floor
Looking for someone to set us free
A king with fists like Mohammad Ali
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it’s hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn’t count on him
Christopher Columbus knew
Vasco De Gama and Magellan too
The profits of oppression grow like never before
All hail to the captalist thief
And mourn your lost ones and covet our grief
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
Hurricane waters ravage southern towns
And black and brown people are left to drown
While the White House and the emergency management agency ignores
Victims seek shelter in the Astrodome
And the National Guard says “Don’t go home”
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
Police officers hassle the homeless
Domestic disputes, alcohol and violence
The jailhouse opens wide its door
A corporation cuts a million employees
And the factory is moving overseas
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it’s hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn’t count on him
Jesus sheds another tear
Into a sea of two thousand years
Into the eve of a new year once more
Tears of joy, resolutions of sorrow
Toast to health and wealth tomorrow
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
Religious wars and domination
World trade and globalization
The prices of petroleum soar
Lonesome churches are packed with sinners
Non-believers and new beginners
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
Say a prayer for the less fortunate
Prisoners and soldiers you never have met
Understand what it is they’re fighting for
Say a prayer for your enemies
Say a prayer for the victims and their families
The holidays are here and we’re still at war
— Brett Dennen
. . . do I hear an “AMEN?”
