They're playing "Get Up, Stand Up" at the Clark event.

[Terwilliger]

That is just DISGUSTING!!!!

Bob Marley would castigate Wesley Clark.

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. there are some really odd musical choices at political rallies sometimes

:D

[xultar]

2. Puhleezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! n/t

[LandOLincoln]

5. MARLEY!!!

Somebody in this campaign sometimes has perfect pitch politically and this is one of those times.

GO WES!

[JI7]

3. why is it disgusting ?

i don't get what the problem is.

[wyldwolf]

9. He's implying that Marley wouldn't approve of Wesley Clark...

[WillyBrandt]

4. Uh-huh, I know you like Clark's style

They should play 50 Cent

[Terwilliger]

14. yeah! go for womanizing drug-dealer

greaaaat

[WillyBrandt]

20. What a sense of humor!

Whatever

[Terwilliger]

30. can't hang, eh?

:shrug:

[Bonobo]

6. He was playing SRV the other day!

BTW, you have no friggin' idea what Bob Marley would do at this point in history.

He'd probably against anyone that criticized B***, if you ask me.

[madrchsod]

10. well i`m back on the Clark wagon

anyone who plays srv gets my vote-the "journey" thing caused me to change my vote the other day, but i`m concerned about the Marley thing- is Clark going to try and get the rasta vote?

i`ve decided to vote for the candidate that plays the music i like the best.that seems to make more sense than anything i`ve heard so far...

[Bonobo]

39. Shit! He played Journey!? Anyone know what musicians Kerry favors?

Besides Carole King, I mean? To saccharinely sweet for me...

[Terwilliger]

15. He wouldn't support the US

much less some fascist like Clark who thinks the SOA is some kind of great organization

Marley thought the CIA tried to interfere with the Jamaican government...he would be no fan of typical, status-quo US politics.

[xultar]

7. Now they are playing Stevie Wonder...is that bad cuz Clark isn't Blind

or Black?

[Terwilliger]

16. I talked about Marley

you're going off on a tangent

[robbedvoter]

8. Thanks for watching. Sorry for not asking permission to pick music!

Shhesh!

[Terwilliger]

19. Just because you like Clark doesn't mean he's some great person

[Democat]

11. Wasn't Bob Marley on a major record label & backed by huge corporations?

I love Marley, but you have no idea who he would or wouldn't support.

If his choice was between Bush and Clark, he might well pick Clark.

[Terwilliger]

21. He would choose Kucinich IF he chose anybody

I doubt he would

[Frederic Bastiat]

42. LOL

Dream on man

[diamondsoul]

12. Hey Ter, would you recommend that song for Kucinich?

Seriously, I've thought about it. I LOVE that song, and right now it sort of fits the situation, right? I Know, OT, but I wondered.

[Terwilliger]

25. Get Up, Stand Up isn't about "rights" so much as its about

the right of each and every man to think for himself, and reject the pious who insist on fealty to religion

I think Kucinich is the only one who comes close to being able to use it, but I don't know. I'd ask Rita Marley or Ziggy before using it.

[diamondsoul]

29. Good point, but honestly?

*blush* You kinda remind me of Ziggy, in terms of how you think and express it. That's why I wondered what you thought.

[Terwilliger]

32. ack!

Please. Ziggy is a father and husband...I hope he thinks better than me.

[dae]

13. This is weak, you should find something else to gripe about.

[AP]

17. Bob Marley's dad was a white British officer, by the way.

His mom, for a while, was a maid in Maryland.

I don't hink Marley would have any problem with liberal anti-imperialist.

And this is a much bettter choice than Journey. "She's just a small town girl..."

[JI7]

26. HAHAHHA

"And this is a much bettter choice than Journey. "She's just a small town girl...""

totally agree with that one.

[Terwilliger]

27. who's an anti-imperialist?

What Dem candidate has criticized the SOA?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

18. Peter Tosh's version is better anyway!

Heresey, I know! :)

[JohnKleeb]

24. Redemption Song is best Marley song IMO

[diamondsoul]

34. Ouch! Good point, but

Get up Stand up was also a major battle cry for civil libertarians.

Also Bob Marley...well you know, he was todays MLK, IMO. I fell in love with him in about 30 seconds.

[DenverDem]

37. Bob's final messianic statement of grace.

He was nearing the end when he produced this incredibly beautiful and positive masterpiece.

[DenverDem]

33. You are correct, if you measure each version for

revolutionary intensity. Peter, a physically imposing very tall man, was a brutally powerful performer. Bob was more the angelic voice of apocalypse. "Pop revolution", perhaps, but Bob Marley changed the world more, fundamentally, than all but a few in history.

edit for typo

[DenverDem]

22. If The General, as POTUS, will free the Rasta sacrament

as Bob would have requested, (like the Peter Tosh song "Legalize it, don't critisize it.") then Bob, Peter and I would forgive his theft of intellectual property rights by using one of the greatest songs of any genre in the history of culture (I say with no fear of hyperbole).

At least his handlers have great musical taste.

[rumguy]

23. Another Clark event had Eminem's Cleaning Out My Closet playing

[Renew Deal]

28. Woh, They just played Original Gangsta

Man, this guy is wild.

[HuckleB]

31. First of all, it's Peter Tosh's song.

Second, you've no idea how Bob Marley would respond to Clark. He would agree with him on a great many issues, that's for sure.

[David Zephyr]

35. My Dear Terwilliger, Chill. After All, It's A Rat Race, Right?

Cut Wesley some slack. Do it for me, bro. Thanks.

It's a rat race.

[Terwilliger]

36. well, should I delete my thread?

I don't think Clark should use Marley songs.

And "Rat Race" was about rejecting the rat race, not embracing it.

[diamondsoul]

38. Nope. Bob would be PISSED if you did.*grin* n/t

[bigtree]

40. To Bush:

"We sick an' tired of - a your ism - skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in - a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)"

Bob Marley Get Up, Stand Up



Don't give up the fight!

[windansea]

41. Clark got a B+ grade from some legalize pot group

just for that I think Bob & Peter would let him use the song

[jmaier]

43. This ranks as one of the more

nonsensical anti-candidate threads that I've seen and we have had some doozies.
