The Revolotionary Communist Party and its spokescreature at HP Tagnuzlsx/Tim Carlos Allon are extremely unpleasant to listen to AND its silly to argue they’re going to change the world.

The Soviets tried to undermine the Mujahideen in the 1980’s by broadcasting rock music. I predict that this effort by the government achieve similar success.

I was being sarcastic, Larkers.

The question is not whether music – or any other cultural activity, indeed – changes the world, but how it changes the world.

S*d! The preview was not working. That’s “Beethoven”. But it doesn’t work now. Over to you Joe!

“Yes, it’s silly to argue that music has any part in societies changing.” – Joe Muggs.

One in the eye (ear?) for Betthoven.

I do not care if the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is what is claimed for it but it sounds great to me and I rarely stray away from dead Germans (and Austrians).

Clap Hammer. If you lived in the U.K. you could get help for your problem; but you would have to surrender your weapons.

Yes, it’s silly to argue that music has any part in societies changing.

Yes. Yes the big fatty is the answer, and I seriously mean that. Man was a genius, a rolypoly heavenly voiced rythmic genius and his band was as tight, and as good as the Blockheads, the Stooges, Bowie’s band and Elton’s band, if presumably, much better behaved in private than those guys.
