Negotiation Power Pack!: Initial bid only $2.99!!!
Four audio tape programs containing 22 cassettes total, a negotiation work book, and flash cards to help memorize negotiation techniques.
I just read a review of a Queensryche concert which contained the following:
The show got political at times....
When ever we heard the line "Sign of the times" Geoff would motion toward the screen and we would see rows of military caskets draped with the American flag, and shots of war, bombs exploding, dead bodies, and so on....
"Will someone please let me know if we have spun out of control" - again caskets and war scenes : "Has our captain let go of the wheel" - A shot of George Bush at the Presidential Podium with a confused look on his face....
It figures. I've always felt a strong socialist, even communist, vibe from Queensryche which has always made me feel a bit uneasy when listening to their music (not an uncommon experience when listening to Seattle bands). Mostly, I've just dismissed it as unimportant (pre-9/11, I tended to dismiss political positions contrary to my own as ultimately being benign) and have been able to enjoy them. But this has ended it for me. The best analogy I've been able to come up with to express my feelings on the issue is this: it's like going into a restaurant's lavatory to wash your hands before dinner, and seeing the chef (cook, whoever) emerge from the crapping stall and exit the bathroom to the kitchen without washing his hands. No matter what could show up on your plate, your ability to enjoy it would be fatally tainted. The only option left would be to skip the meal and dine elsewhere.
As for Queensryche, I hope they and Cindy Sheehan will be happy together.
Thanks for the review. I now know not to attend.

Posted by: B at September 16, 2006 07:39 PMObviously you do not fully understand the our First Amendment rights. To call anybody socialist or communist because they express views that you do not agree with in just plain ignorant. Maybe you and your asshole buddy G.W. Bush can focus on changing trying to make another constitutional change, instead of focusing onr the real issues - NEEDLESSLY DYING SOLDIERS -IN A WAR WE CAN'T WIN - AGAINST AN ENEMY THAT IS NOT AFRAID TO DIE! I applaud any band that will use their celebrity / popularity to show the truth and take a stand against a meniacal lunatic like G.W. Bush.

That's true.
But to call that an accurate characterization of anything I posted is just plain stupid.
Posted by: Jeff at October 10, 2006 11:54 PMi bet queensryche arent any less hypocritical than anyone else out there. its so easy to look at the state of the world and scream "injustice", but what about on a personal level? people are always scamming other people, treating them like shit, cutting them off in traffic. its inconsistent to act like an asshole, then to insist on "peace", and end to war, and all that. what are YOU doing locally (meant rhetorically, not towards any poster here specifically)? and yes, i do act where i can to try to improve where i live. (i realize im very late to this thread, lol). good website, jeff.
