1. That was a great performance. I don't even believe in god, but |
|
I loved the song and it made me wish I believed. Very Christ-like song.

2. I thought that was a great song also. Just great. |

The rap wasn't bad either. First time heard one that I really liked.

That and Bruce Cockbun's If I had a Rocket Launcher:
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away How many kids they've murdered only God can say If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes. Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

Bruce Cockburn is a lyrical genius... I feel blasphemous saying it, but he's right up there with Dylan in my book... plus, he's great on just instrumental music. Apparently his next album's going to be lyric-less... kind of a shame, since I like his lyrics, but I'm sure it'll be great. But yeah - 'Rocket Launcher' is great. Live 8 Canada as a whole was great...

Some of the best lyrics I've heard.
