I stumbled across this new track by Randy Newman on iTunes, and I think it’s a perfect followup to the previous (much more serious and ominous) article by Chalmers Johnson, now that we’re on the subject of Empire. (See below.)
Randy Newman has always had a real knack for taking a serious subject and injecting it with the most clever, ironic wit. If I was to believe in reincarnation (a prospect about which I’m still somewhat divided), I could swear that I hear the voice of Mark Twain echoing in the background.
Hmmm… I wonder what Twain would have to say about our current sorry state of affairs?
Listen closely, enjoy and…
peace,
steve
