3. Hi there liveoaktx...I'm so glad you picked this song to post...

My husband and I were in tears at the end of it.

I hit your website at least once a day, now. Your doing great work and I'm so glad I had a chance to meet you last month.

One last thing..are you taking requests? I'd love to see the Dixie Chicks again...they were fantastic last night.

6. I'm actually converting that right now

There were a lot of good songs but the Neil Young one and Chicks were my faves. (I also converted Chris Rock's George Bush is a Midget)

Glad to have met you as well, Camp Casey was an event.

9. Did he write it ?

It was a very touching song, one whose lyrics should be tattooed on the forehead of every fundie so when they look in the mirror, or see each other in passing, they can be reminded that they are not the pinnacle and sole intention of Goddess' work.

10. lyrics:

http://www.thrasherswheat.org/2005/07/when-god-made-me-lyrics.html

WHEN GOD MADE ME

Was he thinking about my country,
or the colour of my skin?
Was he thinking about my religion,
and the way I worshipped him?
Did he create just me in his image,
or every living thing?

When God made me.
When God made me.

Was he planning only for believers,
or for those who just had faith?
Did he envision all wars
that were fought in his name?
Did he say there was only one way
to be close to him?

When God made me.
When God made me.

Did he give me the gift of love
to say who I could choose?

When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.

Did he give me the gift of voice
so some could silence me?
Did he give me the gift of vision
not knowing what I might see?
Did he give me the gift of compassion
to help my fellow man?

When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.

11. Wonderful - it sounds like a church hymm, with the backup singers and

organ.

This is a very solemn, moving, simple song. He voices, in that clear as ever voice, simple ideas everyone can grasp.

17. Thanks

Neil Young really did that right by playing a relfective, mournful song (wearing all black) for both the living and the many who lost their lives.
