Personal Message from Sheryl Crow (BARF ALERT)

Posted on 11/01/2004 1:02:25 PM PST by rintense
Hello everyone. I am finally coming out of "hiding" to address what I feel is happening in our country. I am filled with fear, anger, despair, most of all, sadness at how the American people have been manipulated throughout these last 3 1/2 years and especially during this election time. I am concerned that we are not demanding better for ourselves from the media, but particularly from our government and our party leaders.
Do we not deserve better than a campaign based on fear tactics and political smear campaigns? Do we not feel we are smart enough to be able to understand the information that we need, or are we going to continue to sleep through a very destructive nightmare ahead of us. Do we not feel we are strong enough to handle the truth.
I have never, at least in my recollection, come out and asked people to vote for a particular candidate but instead, have always encouraged folks to get registered, do the research on issues that are presented, and vote. I am, in this instance, emphatically asking you to support John Kerry for more reasons than I can count.

Another musician stricken with Maines' Syndrome. The symptoms show up at the most opportune moments. Caused by the same virus as Athlete's Tongue, aka Foot-In-Mouth disease. No known cure at this time, except symptoms can be alleviated by gin-soaked raisins.

She's been trying for two years. She hasn't done too well on the C&W charts. Rants like this should get her a spot opening for the Dixie Twits.

She is 100% right! Kerry and the Dems tactics have been despicable!

It's a blog. The mods have never demanded that anybody excerpt a blog.
In fact, they usually tell people not to excerpt them.

"I am filled with fear, anger, despair, most of all, sadness " Sounds like a personal problem to me. Must not be getting much lately.

I can't help but remember every time I am subjected to the rantings of these poorly educated, reality-deprived, socially isolated, entertainers that it was an "entertainer" that killed Lincoln. Their mental stability, overall, hasn't changed much in 140 years.
I wish we could, as a people, tell them to BUTT OUT OF OUR BUSINESS!!!!! In my opinion, they abdicated their ability to participate reasonably in politics when they left the world the rest of us inhabit for destination La La Land.

The following is a single sentence:
And there was Kerry at the center, peacefully and with great integrity, with firsthand experience, and with articulate conviction, begging the Senate to please end this war that had already been declared lost by it's own Secretary of Defense MacNamara early on...making his plea on behalf of the youth of America who were sent to fight for their country only to return as a "disgrace."
Seriously, my six-year-old can construct a better sentence.
And check this out:
Are we not expected to see it for what it really is...a war based on greed that was in the planning stages all the way back to when these same war mongers were in office under Bush, Sr., ignoring the pathos this country has striven to keep: that preemptive striking and preventive striking are two very different things.
the pathos this country has striven to keep?!?!?
Shes illiterate.

All I Wanna Do
Hit it!
This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!
"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
Before blowing and cursing them out
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon but
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Ive got a feeling the party has just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun
I won't tell ya, that your the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
As cogent as ever, that Sheryl Crow
To: rintense
Sheryl, it's you and your liberal friends who are being manipulated. It's pretty scary to see the level of ignorance on your side of the line of scrimmage.
