I thought I knew this sort of

I got told years ago when it first came out that it said something about nuclear war or something like that,
but I had to cheat and look it up.

the cover decodes to
"Roger Waters Radio KAOS Who Needs Information Th".
On recent rereleases, the Morse code on the inside cover and underneath the CD tray reads
"E Powers That Be Home The Tide Is Turning Radio Waves".

I got that from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_K.A.O.S.

it also says
The album contains Easter eggs. The most well known of these is the morse code message at the beginning and end of the album. This is the "hidden verse" of "Tide is Turning":
Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
of macho bulls*** and mediocrity

This verse, expressing Waters' dislike of the way Sylvester Stallone movies glorify violent actions, is alluded to in the final spoken line of the song, "The tide is turning, Sylvester."

which make a lot of sense as Roger is against war more than greenpeace, more than CND more than the pope probably.

No wonder I consider Roger a god, his words of wisdom will always be with me thru my life

for a 17 year old burd ( young women)
those lyrics are  superb!!
makes out like you have had a really hard time. Whether you have or not is not the point though. A fantasticlly written set of lyrics that I want to see chords with , then i want to hear it, then I want to see the video
rebel, I hope ye had a great birthday and I really hope to hear this if possible.

So 17????? life just begining???? hmmmm, I cannot remember much when i was 17 or 16 or 18 or 19. I remember bits,lol and it is not thru old age ( since I am still really young) nor was it the alcohol or drug abuse ( although that was good)
But I do remember I had a hard time now and again but not as bad as others. When I was your age I do remember thinking I had lived a life already ( I should write some songs about somethings) So, I can relate quite a bit to your song, I love it

thanks for sharing your song and thoughts.

All the best for the next year.

I do not normally like censorship, especailly for anyone over the age of 16. Probably even younger as they hear and see everything  just as much, if not more than adults.  Does that make it ok for someone to say that there should be no censorshipthough because they have heard/seen lots already? I dunno!!.

I let my son ( aged 9) watc hsome films that are rated 12, 15 and a few 18.
Just because it has a bit of sex in it? this should not be hidden from any age as long as it is done in a tasteful way, but then what is a tasteful way when everyones sexual prefferences will change.

I did take a playstation game of my boy, it was an 18. It shows a young boy watching his dad getting killed, shot. Although it is only graphics it looks very real ( apart from all the colour)
If this was a film then I suppose I would let him watch it but to see that everyday when he wanted to play it was a bit too much, so he saw it once. He will get that back when he is about 14,lol and it will be very outdated and something worse will come along.

as for censoring swearing etc, I dont agree with that eithger. I swear like a trooper a lot , but never in front of my kids. I dont know why, maybe the way I was brought up? none of my family swore when i was growing up and I do the same with my kids, but they will hear it all the time. I just dont think it is right that a kid continually hears Effing and C'ing and a lot more, they hear the occasional S**T from me, but thats it.
I dont think I will mind them swearing in the house when they are a bit older, like 14 -15, but not swearing just for the sake of it.
Aroud this area ( central belt of Scotland) swearing is, I tihnk more acceptable than other places in the UK, apart from maybe some cities.
I have some friends and family in Alabama in america and they think they tamest of sweary words are very unacceptable, so it depends on where in the world you are and how you were brought up.

The C word was used very openly not that long ago. It was Queen Vistoria that decided it was not a nice word so she banned ppeople from using it and from there it became unacceptable to say it and now it is classed as the most unacceptable swear word that there is.
She also outlawed men being gay as she said it was not normal, but she refused to believe two women would or could be together, so Being a lesbian was never outlawed in the UK. ( I tihnk she was prbably one herslef and this is why she never outlawed it )

So, from churches to royalty, from family man to beggar, we all make our own censorship up depending on the circumstances.

As for censorship in Chordie? I will continue to delete things I persoanlly think there is nothing wrong with, but  iknow others would be offended, whether they are right or not to get offended is not for me to judge. Laws and rules are made and I help maintain them for the sake of a really excellent web site.

D.C Lee is a woman, so it was not same sex marriage.

unless you are calling Paul a woman

thankfully a reunion of wham is false and I like it to remain that way. It is bad enough that the spice girls have decided to cash in on more youngsters.
George Michael did want Andrew to join him on stage this year sometime but Andrew rejected ( hoooooray!!!!)
Also, Wham had a backing singer/dancer called D.C Lee  who later joined the Style council and married Paul weller.

I have a couple of style council albums but they are nowhere near as good as the JAm, although a couple of the style council songs were actually recorded by the Jam first, but they spilt and Paul decided to use the songs with his new band.

I'm sorry but I just do not see the point in thanksgiving day. Is it a religious sort of thing?

When I was visiting my dad in Georgia years ago it was just before thanksgiving. it seems it is just like christmas apart from no pressies or santa and a lot of eating, in fact it oooks like ye eat as much has ye can all day.

I dont see why ye do this at all.
or if you want to do thats fine but why make a big thing of it?

I may be needing educated here. not for me to know what it is about but WHY you do it.
