All men are created equal only some are more equal than others! Here I go quoting other more enlightened people again!
Our forefathers faught and died for the rights and liberties we now enjoy. Was it an enemy, an invading force they faught? No, the rich and powerful! They held us down for hundreds of years and when we faught back they sent in the troops, mowed down by our own brothers. We forced our way out but there are those who would put us back in our box if they can get away with it.

To my mind politicians should have no wealth and no other source of income but their salary for guiding their country.

Woops, I'd better stop there as I might get into trouble for bringing the corruption of politics and politicians onto the pages of this PC site.

So entertaining Peatle. Creatively edited and all the pop ups and news channel logos were great.
Now to your song/poem; as we've come to expect from you, ascerbic, pithy and no holds barred. As the song says; believe half of what you see and certainly none of what you hear.
Now here's my question; should we be grateful we don't live in North Korea?
Fine work as usual loremaster.     

Hi Richard, I was looking forward to hearing your version but your link just brought me back here. If it's on SoundCloud or YouTube you'll need to copy and paste the link there.

Phill     

Please disregard the above post.... I'm just not with it at the moment.

Hey Jeff I love to hear other people play my stuff...any chance? Thanks for the review.     

I have no doubt at all that you will record and post this entertaining song? Of course when it's spring with you it's autumn here. Enjoy your spring/summer and let's hear this soon.     

i never realized the similarity with Ballroom Blitz, word wize at least. i don't think people realized that Sweet were actually quite a heavy metal band guided into the pop world, before a lot of the metal bands came to the fore.

i'm glad you like my effort. thanks for the review     

Thanks Richard. It's amazing what a bit of reverb on the voice and chorus on the guitar can do!     

hi Peatle, your poem got me thinking and i came up with a song called "the girl who played the air guitar" ....i've posted it in songwriting and I shall be recording it once i've finished here. i hope i'm not stealing your thunder? but girls do play air guitar just as good as men.     

That's the way they come, my friend. When I get stuck I very rarely try to force it these days. I have pages of lines or verses, when needed they're there. Having read through the song the words do flow together nicely. I imagine it as a slow ballad?
Let's hear it.     

you're so right TF, what possible help is learning Klingon going to be in the real world? much as i am a trekkie also a Beatles fan, university courses in these two subjects  is pointless and a waste of public money, yet they still run these courses, then the students are expected to pay back the course fees when they finally get a job cleaning toilets. rant over     

My commiserations and congratulations on a fine piece of work Jeff. I'd hate to be a student now knowing that prospects of employment in my chosen field are less likely than standing in the bread line.
When are you going to record it?
