God Father And Mother

Re: God Father And Mother

Reincarnated as another kitty maybe, since being a cat is the highest form of life.

Yes. I LOVE cats. Some dogs are nice, but I'm a kinda kitty--you could call me Bastish. BAST: http://wuzzle.org/cave/catlore1.html

(Reminds me of a J-wish joke. "I'm not a J-w. I'm J-wISH")

When my cat died, I did see her reincarnating as a kitten... (and I 'let her go' in the metaphysical way.)

I just found a REALLY neat webpage:

http://www.cjnetworks.com/~cubsfan/music.html

“Here is a listing of musical artists which have liberal-oriented lyrics, or have worked for liberal causes, or have expressed liberal sentiments in interviews, etc. This list is the combined effort of myself and Turn Left readers: ”

[Their list pretty much describes my CD collection. ]

R.E.M.
U2
Billy Joel
Rage Against The Machine
Bruce Springsteen
Sting
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Tori Amos
Rush
Natalie Merchant
Janes Addiction
Bob Dylan
John Lennon
Tracy Chapman
Nine Inch Nails
xxxel
Ministry
The Indigo Girls
Little Steven
Queensryche
Ani DiFranco
Beastie Boys
Paul Simon
Grateful Dead
The Beatles

Do you see any pattern there?

Hello, I'm the guy who sits next to you
And reads the newspaper over your shoulder
Wait! Don't turn the page. I'm not finished.
Life is so uncertain...

Yes it's true all I want Girl is you.

Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability are at the very least difficult if not impossible to come by we could always opt for the more temporal gratification of sheer physical attraction.

That wouldn't make you a shallow person? Would it?

If Ford is to Chevrolet what Dodge is to Chrysler
What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties
What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea
What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong
Can you doubt we were made for each other?...

Look I understand too little too late.
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back but what would you be if you didn't even try?
You have to try. So after a lot of thought I'd like to reconsider

Please, if it's not too late, make it a "cheeseburger."

Oh dear. You really should not have posted that list, Anahita. It makes Republicans almost seem bearable.

Alas, the range of icons available on this board is not wide enough to fully express my opinions.

R.E.M. - (insert "corpse, bored to death" smilie, if there was one)
U2 - (insert "vomiting" smilie, if there was one)
Billy Joel - (insert "corpse, bored to death" smilie, if there was one)
Rage Against The Machine - (insert "smug bastard being pushed off a cliff" smilie, if there was one)
Bruce Springsteen - (insert "corpse, bored to death" smilie, if there was one)
Sting - (insert "Mt Everest-sized pile of poo" smilie, "vomiting" smilie, "corpse, bored to death" smilie, AND "smug bastard being pushed off a cliff" smilie)
Pearl Jam -
Nirvana - Ok, but dead.
Tori Amos - Ok, but weird and married.
Rush -
Natalie Merchant - done nothing good since 10000 Maniacs
Janes Addiction -
Bob Dylan - (insert "corpse bored to death" smilie, if there was one)
John Lennon - (insert "gravestone" smile, and "jumping up and down for joy" smilie)
Tracy Chapman - One half-decent song in 20 years! (insert "and from that she makes a living?" smile)
Nine Inch Nails -
xxxel - Who?
Ministry - Who?
The Indigo Girls - Who?
Little Steven - Who?
Queensryche - Who?
Ani DiFranco - (insert "corpse bored to death" icon, if there was one)
Beastie Boys - OK for the videos
Paul Simon - (insert "corpse bored to death" smilie, if there was one)
Grateful Dead - OK, but mostly dead
The Beatles - If only they all died in the early 1970s!

I’ve quoted many on their list here for the divine-inspired metaphorical (code) messages in their lyrics. Mostly on “Irony of Religion” http://forum.armenianclub.com/showthread.php?t=6769, but a few other places, as well.

I own most every album by: Indigo Girls, Rage, and Sting/Police… I think Marley, Chili Peppers (and many others) should be on their list.

Bell, the dead have lots of important things to say. Plus, most of them are frequently on the 'phone,' er, I mean my favorite radio station. You could listen to MMM too, online. http://www.madison.com/mmm/ I don't remember where I put the Little Steven info. He has a really funny talk/music show on that station later tonight. I'm telepathic with him.

Re: God Father And Mother

Bell-the-cool-cat:

My friend, Little Steven (from Bruce Springsteen's band...but Little Steven is great on his own merit), has a great show on MMM (That you can hear webcast live in the link I gave above) that will be on for the next 2 hours (maybe will be replayed again in two hours from now, too) The show is a mix of music and witty history and much more... I'm almost certain he'll play some Beatles, though (if you can stand that )

He's full of humor, subtle word games, and all that kind of stuff. I love it.

You seem to be rather cool yourself - so I'm a little bit sorry about the slash and burn I committed on your band list.

Though anything that I could say against REM, Sting, and U2 would not be half as harsh as what that lot really deserve! And, to borrow from your other thread, what do you think their "ecological footprint" is? About the size of Godzilla stomping it way through a city, I would think!

I understand what you are saying about the giant footprints they make...

Sting, for example, (I get to pick on him a bit even though overall he does do really great things...) has houses all over the world (ncluding London, CA, ...). He used to be vegetarian... I understand that he told the Miami Herald "But I only eat the animals I raise....I won't eat an animal that comes from a slaughterhouse. That's just disgusting." He really does LOTS of good for the planet and people. For just one example, he founded http://www.rainforestfoundationuk.org/s-index (an organization that works to protect rainforests and indigenous cultures.) He does much more good than harm (that I feel, outweighs the sort of stuff I call him on.)

Re: God Father And Mother

Anahita: The ancient Persian water goddess, fertility goddess, and patroness of women, as well as a goddess of war. Her name means "the immaculate one" The Greeks associated Anahita with either Athena or Aphrodite.

She's blood, flesh and bone. No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound,
But somehow I can't believe…

High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
—Everclear (She's So High Above Me)

(also "Queen" of Denial, sometimes )

The same tradition was observed among the divinities, so much so that the ancient goddesses appear alternately as the mother, the sister or the wife of masculine gods, having different ranks.

***That is why Anahita (Ânâhitâ), the Iranian goddess, sometimes appears as Mother Earth and the goddess of fertility and birth, and sometimes as Venus, the goddess of music, love, jealousy and coquetry.***

When she is the wife or mother of gods, her symbol is the moon, and when she represents the goddess of love and music, the planet Venus. http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Religi...an/anahita.htm


Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
