Where is Bob Dylan when we need him
released in 1965
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Music Video). Watch more top selected videos about: Bob Dylan
In case you weren't there (from Wikipedia):The song's first line is a reference to codeine distillation and politics of the time: "Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine / I'm on the pavement thinkin' about the Government".[1] The song also depicts some of the growing conflicts between "straight" or "square" (40-hour workers) and the emerging 1960s counterculture. The widespread use of recreational drugs, and turmoil surrounding the Vietnam War were both starting to take hold of the nation, and Dylan's hyperkinetic lyrics were dense with up-to-the-minute allusions to important emerging elements in the 1960s youth culture. According to rock journalist Andy Gill, "an entire generation recognized the zeitgeist in the verbal whirlwind of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'."[1]
The song also references the struggles surrounding the American civil rights movement ("Better stay away from those / That carry around a fire hose"). (During the civil rights movement, peaceful protestors were beaten and sprayed with high pressure fire hoses.) In spite of the political nature of the lyrics, the song went on to become the first Top 40 hit for Dylan in the United States.[6]Add to Technorati Favorites
Corporate tax repatriation-Democrats now putting theirselves up for bid
As if they weren't already. The buzz in Washington is getting louder on giving corporations who store untaxed money offshore so they do not have to bring it back and pay taxes to the "Free Country" that provided them with the "free market capitalism" to become "corporate giants" in the first place.Calculating what Corporations actually "pay" in taxes is contingent upon which definition you choose to use, whose formula you choose to use, and what loopholes have been exploited allowing some major corporations to pay little or no tax.
We have addressed this in the past, see,Corporations want another tax holiday? More lies and treason! Video for instance.
