Sweet Warrior is a fine CD. It’s been in heavy rotation at my house since I got it and I think it’s his best in quite some time.

Engaging you is synonymous with hitting your head with a hammer: you know you shouldn’t do it but you have heard that the dizzy feeling can be fun.

Apology accepted, Phil.

Not that there’s anythign wrong with it.

Engaging you is synonymous with hitting your head with a hammer: you know you shouldn’t do it but you have heard that the dizzy feeling can be fun. Eventually though both activities leave you with a big pain in the head a distinct loss of the ability to think rationally.

Do I have to? Once she gets rolling with that therapeutic mumbo jumbo, it’s hard to get her to stop. Plus, I already know what it means, though I’m unsure where you are suggesting I’m doing it.

Just to be clear, you ARE saying that you believe ‘follow’ is synonymous with ’submit’, right? I like to put words in people’s mouths, but not in this case.

synonym |?sin??nim| noun a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language, for example shut is a synonym of close.

In my example substitute follow for shut and submit for close. I hope this makes it easier to follow along.

“She mostly deals with ‘deeper issues’

Ask her to explain projection to you.

When you were in the Corps were you in recon, because you have a natural ability to evade.

Hey Philly! I didn’t know that either! But are you attempting to say that following is the same as submitting? Because if you are in the NY metro area, my Mom can fix you up. She mostly deals with ‘deeper issues’, but I’d bet 25 cents that she can clear up your inability to differentiate between the words ‘follow’ and ’submit’! Bet?

Submission- The act of submitting to some power or authority.

Hippies may suck but that doesn’t mean they don’t know a synonym when they see one.

Maybe you spend some more time around your mom.

God never listened to Charlie Parker
Charlie Parker lived in vain
Blasphemer, womanizer
Let a needle numb his brain
Wash away his “Monkey Music”
Damn his demons, damn his pain

There’s a message on the wind
Calling me to glory somewhere
There are signs too deep for the dumb
Like perfume in the air
And when I get to heaven
I won’t realize that I’m there

Suck it, cobag.

Fripp too? Thanks Jean for mentioning that it’s Sufism, but,… ouch! Has Eno succumbed as well? Did Sandy Denny worship that heinous god-thing before she died? How many other great bands were destroyed by Islam? Give it to me straight, Mrs. Arf. Have all of King Crimson fallen?

A fucking Hendrix-level master. And like Hendrix, quite possibly an extraterrestrial.

But down to the meat of things: I don’t equate the Spanish Inquisition killing a muslim 400 years ago with a muslim blowing up a dozen innocents today. We could probably agree that Christianity was as horrible in the past as Islam is today, but what point would that serve? The current situation is that only scumbags from the religion of Islam are killing people in their God’s name. Beyond that, I don’t care a flip about what religion you follow. When Christians start blowing stuff up, expect me to be willing to crush them, USMC style.

Oh yeah, and hippies suck.

My understanding of sufiism (from a sufi friend) is that it incorporates some traditions of Islam but is not a “wholly owned subsidiary” so to speak. It’s a bit of this and a bit of that, in other words, and far more mystical than your standard monotheistic faiths. Funny how it seems to appeal to guitar virtuosos (RT, Fripp, my friend).

Just a head’s up.
