Listening to Lewis & Floorwax (radio personalities out of Denver, CO on 103.5). Boulder High School is having a talent show Friday night. One of the acts is a band that includes 2 teachers, the band name is "The Taliband". They will be performing a song they worte titled "I Wish George Bush was Dead". This was reported by a parent. The band had to audition in front of a group including two other teachers and were selected to perform Friday night.
I have a friend who lives in Boulder and whose husband is in Iraq with the Army's 1st ID. She has one of those "Support Our Troops" yellow ribbons on her car. She said she gets the bird from people all the time. I don't get it. What's wrong with these people?
Perhaps. But this is in Boulder, where teachers helped students stage an anti-Bush sit-in.
Quit your whimpering kid.
Living in Boulder with a hyphenated name, you'd have about the same chance of getting drafted as your momma.
Since this is the high screwl where the kiddies staged the sit-in (see post #7), I'm guessing you're right.
Already called the school. The principle stated that there will be no such song on Friday night but that a "protest song" written bt Bob Dylan will be performed. I told him that the word is out and that it may be a long day for him.
"Already called the school."
Good for you. Sounds like this is a non-story, as I suspected. I doubt any such song was ever planned. Makes for a good drive-time story, though, generating lots of talk and controversy.
Best move is to check stories before posting, especially when the source is not the news.
If further communication occurs, or a press release is made, I hope they will note WHICH Dylan song.
They've been talking about it on KHOW all morning,
I heard this parent and her daughter this am on the Peter Boyle talk show. His students are the ones who staged their "sit in" last week to protest Bush. This marxist teacher put them up to the way I see it.
"Best move is to check stories before posting, especially when the source is not the news."
I agree, thanks for the suggestion. When I heard the story I was really upset. The mother called back in and stands by her story. The school says the band's name is "Coalition of the Willing" and the song is "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan.
Bump!
This is an outrage.
It's all over the radio out here (Front Range, Colorado). It's causing a little bit of a sh*tstorm. They've been interviewing people about it on KHOW and tried to get one of the teachers on but he wouldn't talk to them. The people in the education system in Boulder do some stupid crap. They're always getting in the news.
See my post below, I heard the parent on another show this am. The teacher is Vaca and he intigated the "sit in" last week.
Misty,
May I trouble you to use your pinger for this?!!??
Howlin,
May I ask your help in spreading this far and wide?
Something must be done.
"...is wrong with these people!?"
There are a lot of whackos in the People's Californicated Republic of Boulderstan.
In 1999 I drove through with a couple of my kids and stopped to show them my old alma matersky.
Even though my kids clearly have Asian ancestry, and so we should have had enough "diversity" points to be accepted, I seemed to be radiating C-rays so strongly that people on campus were uniformly hostile.
The atmosphere was so thick it made my kids uncomfortable.
I do still get my hair cut at base barbershops, so maybe I was radiating M-rays together with C-rays, both of which are kryptonite to Boulderistas.
Even 28 years ago, the Veterans Club free kegger on Fridays (FAC) was like a leper colony.
Sonsofliberty2000,
Please help spread the word.
Thanks,
Vel
"The mother called back in and stands by her story. The school says the band's name is "Coalition of the Willing" and the song is "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan."
Well, that's way different from what was reported in your first post. It's not the "Taliband" and they're not doing a song advocating Bush's death, are they?
That's what I meant. The story you posted originally was not true. The truth is that an anti-war song is being sung. That's way different.
"It's all over the radio out here (Front Range, Colorado). It's causing a little bit of a sh*tstorm."
I've got KHOW on in the background here. What bothers me, here, is that the original story was WAY different from what's being said now.
Yes, these kids and teachers are stupid, but this is not what was reported in the original post.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste....
