Happy September 11th
I wondered how long it would be before I saw some kind of 9/11 culture-jamming:
As it happens, it wasn't very long at all.
It was a beautiful spring day just like today -- and a Tuesday, too -- that six years ago I wandered down Aurora Tce and into the Terrace post office to post some LPs to the USA, and had to get the increasingly incredulous (!) shop-assistant to spell out why there would be unforeseen delays in getting the parcels to their destination. And then hurried home again, to spend the next few hours watching people jumping out of tall buildings; and so on.
And believe it or not, it was an utter coincidence that yesterday I posted some song-lyrics containing the following:
... which frankly I find quite uncanny.

And believe it or not, it was an utter coincidence that yesterday I posted some song-lyrics containing the following:
They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war to keep their factories
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
... which frankly I find quite uncanny.
