7. It's good, but it needs a young College Republican ...
... hitting on the girl and ending up with a better job than the soldier.

16. Now THAT makes me want to cry
You're right but talk about freaking unjust and depressing-- and that's just what we are dealing with.

10. That video was pro-human.
Anti-war and made me shed a tear or two of my own.

Thank you Greenday...

11. Maybe if you were 6'3", you wouldn't have cried
Or 6'4" and 250 lbs. Or . . .

I've always been puzzled by this idea that the larger and heavier a man is, the less likely he is to cry at something moving.

14. Can someone PLEASE answer me this one question?
Is this thing being shown on MTV or VH1? If it is I will monitor both.


I can't seem to get any response to my posts tonight so I had to play the mellodrama card with my title!

I have dial up so there is no way I can watch this thing online and it's annoying me not to be able to see it!

15. I asked the same question on another thread, but no answer yet.
We used to watch VH1's Mega Hits channel all the time, but VH1 pulled it a couple of months ago and I can't stand to watch the other video channels.

17. Maybe we should both go out and rob a bank tonight
My posts today just blast off into oblivion so I am wondering if I could even get arrested!

Thanks for responding even if you don't know the answer to my question! (I know I am not invisible lol)

23. EXCELLENT!
I loved their appearance at live 8--I never disliked them in the early 90's but I would never have envisioned them being so deep and willing to take a stand back then. They just seemed (at the time) like another blow off type commercial punk copy type band.

Who knew?

19. **I see you.**
:hi:

I did some checking and found it listed on MTV's TRL page, which (I guess) means it's being played on the tube.

I will make the sacrifice and monitor MTV for sightings!

God I hope I don't have to sit through too many Ashley/ Jessica Simpson type/ crap artist videos :(

25. It's a new music channel that plays, um, videos! No dramas just vids.
It's national but I don't know what it's "market" coverage is.

They've played everything by Greenday, System of a Down, OTEP, etcetera.

Very anti-gummint playlist.

Here's a link to FUSE TV's site: http://www.fuse.tv/launcher.php

There's a spot where you can enter your zip code and see if it's available in your area. :hi:

33. Thanks
I checked their website, but big surprise my computer can't deal with the site because my computer is too old and my connection is too slow.

I will call the cable company tomorrow and reflect on the fact that I have turned into my parents.

Can someone just like shoot me now? lol

39. One of those web pages (maybe Green Day's) says they are
going to start playing it on one of the MTV channels, every hour I believe it was. Since I answered the question will I get part of the heist? I think there's so much to absorb here tonight, posts are flying like crazy, it's a good thing (I think).

36. If you liked that one then watch "If you tell a Lie" it is better IMO.
http://www.blamesally.com/index.html

"You can speak of God while you lead your Holy War
As if your hands weren’t stained by the oil you adore
More innocents will die and more soldiers will fall
You name your church for God but it was greed that built those walls"



The lyrics are particularly appropriate for this administration and more compelling in many ways. Let me know what you think.

44. On a lighter note
The bridge in Holiday, Billie Joe has described it as what it would be like if a member of Congress said what they were thinking:


"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
