sitting in a car driving to the airport
we are on our way to bilbao spain where we are gonna play in front of
the guggenheim museum
i am looking forward to that
to be next to beautiful art and architecture
and to put some art of our own into the open air

george w bush should definitely be impeached
he is a liar
and his lies have bought misery to millions of people
and bought no good to anyone except for the corporate oil
billionaires who are making huge profits
they are profiting during wartime
that is unscrupulous and terribly sad
w bush has made the world a much less safe place
before the war iraq was not a place for terrorists
saddam hussein, brutal dictator that he was was secular and had
nothing to do with al queda
and was sanctioned to death and had no power outside of his country
now it is a breeding ground for terrorism and anti-americanism is at
an all time high all over the world
and the people of iraq are no better off at all
all those people want is for the americans to leave
decent families and people like you and i who never wanted america
there in the first place
goerge w bush has sent american soldiers over there to be maimed and
killed
only to serve his selfish oil company needs and for his ego
american soldiers who are loyal to each other and who only want to
have a good job get an education and support their country are being
used for an unjust cause
i support the troops
they, like all americans are being betrayed by george w bush
he has betrayed his country he should be impeached

the administration's line that they were over there because they
wanted to spread democracy and freedom
is nothing else besides a lie
if they had any interest at all in the well being of other human beings
they would be doing what they could for people who desperately need
and would love help in africa

i pray to god that george w bush and his administration does not
invade iran
it would be a bloodbath
why dont they just leave the iranians alone
and go through the united nations
and work on making the united nations as strong and as just as possible
an invasion of iran would be the worst possible thing that could happen
i pray to god that it does not happen

i am just another guy sitting in the car on the english motorway

:headbang:

I never found out, and haven't "followed" the RHCP for some years now.

And no wonder he's wistful. He's playing "El Goog". One of the high points of our civilization -- just as Bush is representing all that is bad with it. And in Basque country, where Bilbao is, this is likewise a wistful time of year. 69 years ago -- April 27, 1937 -- the Luftwaffe's Condor Division bombed Gernika/Guernica into rubble.

I was four years old. The Cuban Missile Crisis happened, starting on the day of Flea's birth. My father was a nuclear ordnance and missile engineer and was called up in the middle of the night and told to report immediately to his base, a Nike-Ajax hub. He told my pregnant mother to get me, my infant brother, and my grandmother ready to leave immediately when he called, or at 6AM if he didn't.

Fortunately, he called to tell her to stay put. The world was not plunged into war. Judgment Day had been delayed. And Harlan Ellison wrote an Outer Limits teleplay about a soldier from the future who comes back to warn us not to make war.

The Hipsters now call all fear-producing scenarios of thermonuclear war "nuke porn", but if it really is porn, for a toddler it was nuclear pedophilia.
