Recent song played, was a nice rendition of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb".

Which, it turns out, is an unintentional Anthem opposing Obama...

Whose entire purpose appears to be making the United States of America:

"Comfortably numb".

FUBO.

Comfortably Numb
(Roger Waters)

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

(solo)

I have become comfortably numb.

O. K.
Just a little pin prick.
There’ll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. Good.
That’ll keep you going through the show
Come on it’s time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

What a great post. I’ve been listening to “Is there Anybody Out There”, the live version of The Wall from the 1980-81 tour a lot recently. Gotta get some friends together to watch the movie again soon...

With any luck, the only folks having to live under the constraints of Obamacare, will be Obama and the idiots who voted it into law.

They may have been a bunch of hippies, but damn if they didn’t make some of the best music of all time!

There is no such thing as a well run, classic rock station. All you need is the same 200 songs and a few commercials, and then pay some flunkie to puke into the microphone. I’ll go play my Warren Zevon and Frank Zappa tunes, which will never be heard on such a station.
