Lyrics: Heaven on Their Minds - Tim Rice
My mind is clearer now
At last, all too well,
I can see where we all soon will be
If you strip away
The myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus
You've started to believe, the things they say of you
You really do believe this talk of God is true
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
You'll begun to matter more than the things you say
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then
We called you a man
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
Nazareth you're famous son should've stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood, He'd have made good
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests
Would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm
No one alarm
Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Yes, it's all gone sour
Listen Jesus to the warning I give,
Please remember that I want us to live
So come on, come on, he won't listen to me ah
Ah
Come on
Listen, listen to me
Come on, and listen to me ahhh

EDITORIAL: I never have been a political man. I never understood the divide between the progressive and the conservative; the liberals and the democrats. It all just sounds like rhetoric to me, "Look at us, we're the good guys because we're 'blank' (insert catchphrase here).
But.
The release of Radiohead's new album has made my mind wander into that awfully murky/political headspace that only the cigar smoking, golf playing, port swilling, financial section of the paper reading, small talking sect enjoy ;) And, I've gotta say that my mind doesn't enjoy it, "It's forty below and I don't give a... LOL!"
So, here it is. Radiohead release the latest copy of their album ONLINE. Fans can download it and pay whatever price they wish. And... Out come the detractors. "The quality of the songs are too inferior." "Such and such (corporate) artist strongly disagrees with Radiohead's tactics because 'insert bullshit distraction here'." "Blah blah blah... corporate agenda... blah blah..." And now Radiohead's stunt is over - the album will be available in stores and through traditional means only.
So, here's where it gets just a little political. This so called "publicity stunt" has probably made Radiohead one of if not the most popular artist of late '07. Their music has probably reached more people than any other artist of last year. Their supporting tour will probably break personal attendance records as well. So...
Where's the copycats at?
Just sayin'.
LOL!
Love,
Mattyy
MUSIC NEWS:
1. HANSON WORKS WITH TOM'S SHOES TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR POVERTY AND AIDS IN AFRICA: The charitable organization, Tom's Shoes, provides footware to needy third world children. Hanson walks through miles of snow to... well I'm not sure really but it got us talking didn't it :D Check: http://www.tomsshoes.com/
2. CELEBRITY SIGNED KITES AUCTIONED OFF FOR AFGHANI CHARITY: Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Daniel Craig are among the stars who, in conjunction with the new 'Kite Runner' movie signed, you guessed it... shoes. JK!
3. RADIOHEAD'S 'IN RAINBOWS' NO LONGER DOWNLOADABLE: You can still get the album but by traditional means only. Turns out the music isn't that great after all - LOL! Just joking :D
4. GWEN STEFANI SCHOLARSHIP FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES: The super star singer has donated the proceeds from her latest Cali concert to students who have been affected by the last October's tragedy. Fires are no joking matter :S
5. DO YOU CARE?: Never satisfied just simply cow tipping with his corporate hip hop fraternity brothers, Akon has taken to fan tossing. LOL! Check it on YouTube.. It's true... Jay-Z = Def Jam no longer. Oh NO! What's he agonna do? Out to tha hizzo, of a job to tha BIzza... So, what's this I hear? A graphic novel based on the Wu Tang? Very cool.. But, super powers? Well, they did make their own credibility disappear.. huH??? And in further news.. Two over-rated beatches are knocked up and another has just lost 19/20ths of her future inheritance. Yup. Baby Spears and Lilly Allen are about to excercise their right to populate the world with idiots and Paris' grandad just made her about 20 times less popular proving that there is a God and that s/he has a sense of humour...
