Brian Eno on Propaganda

A cogent argument for keeping an eye on Them without letting 'em draw
the drapes over yer mind. Eno being one of the more notable musicians
and composers of recent memory doesn't hurt a bit.

Why should we take the words of some washed-up weirdo standup comic over
those of our Dynamic Commander-in-Chief?

nihilism, eh... you mean - "Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a
day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life."

something like that...

"Donny: Are these the Nazis, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid
of."

Not EMO, y'doddering dolt, ENO, HAW HAW!!! If I had not already seen
evidence that you are not a dumbass, I'd swear you were a DUMBASS,
eieieiei!

Any of you from non-alt.slack arenas ( "Where 'Bob' is our
fountainhead and sarcasm our rocket fuel.") who are not at least
somewhat familiar with Brain Eno's work should read up on him a bit.
He's been a highly influential musician, composer, producer, video
artist and left-field standard-shaker for many years. An entirely
legit entity of real merit who is never quite the same twice in a row.

I am in fact EAT THE HELL UP WITH DUMBBASS, as "Bob" requires this.

As for Brian Eno's essay, he owes that annoying crank Norm Chompski a
($1) here and there, but his observation that "it's not so much the
control of what we think, but the control of what we think about," is a
pretty good thing to keep in mind from here on out.

21st Century America has done the Roman Empire one better and MERGED the
Government with the Bread and Circuses. This innovation gives the people
something to get real mad at, while being Entertrained(TM) for maximum
compliance.

Brian Eno deserves $1 for being ever so magnaminous, ever so humble
for not mentioning his artistic contribution, his claim to fame:
1. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
2. the ever evanescent and varietal Batman theme songs.

With Barbara Streisand as the guiding star of Foreign Policy,
Sean Penn being the voice of articulate Reason,
why would Brian Eno NOT deign to take his rightful place?

Somewhere the Sarandon,Rocky Horror-Janet and Jeff Spicolli;
all he needs now is a glow in the dark Tiki-head with beer-cup holder
and HE-TOO can be governor of California !!!

Consulting the Tome of Eno on agitprop
makes just as much sense as consulting
John Cusack's, Martin Blank on hollow point bullets.
(or questioning Bill Clinton's Command of the Facts).

You're confused. Eno is a washed-up ambient musician. Emo is either
a washed-up commedian or an annoying style of indie rock for guys with
black glasses.

IMO is sour cream substitute.

They can attack it.

They can't prove it wrong.

Sounds like propaganda from a different perspective. That's all.

What's wrong with Droopy Depends? In my opinion, Droopy
has never been marketed properly. His cameo in "Who Framed
Roger Rabbit?" was worth the price of admission.
