Friday Night at 8: Audioblog

Hello, hello, hello!  As an experiment tonight, I’ve audioblogged a bit of stuff, including an original protest song.  It’s all explained … well sort of … in the audioblog.

Before I post the audioblog, I’ll share my fantasy protest.  Big bands, big brass bands, big brass bands from New Orleans with that tuba blowing the rhythm, loud, folks marching along right to the nation’s capital.

Can you imagine that?  A giant sound, all wild and brassy, there’s no way anyone – including the media – could ignore that.

Ok, end of fantasy protest.  Onward.  Below is the audioblog and the words to the protest tune.

Here’s the audioblog — let me know if you have problems listing.

Gabcast! Auld Manhattoe #3

And here’s the words to the protest song:

We have overcome,
the times they have a’changed,
the answer blowing in the wind,
is settled and arranged.
We know where we’re going
and we know where we have been,
we will not be forsaken,
we will fight to the end,
for equal protection under the law
under the law
for equal protection
under the law.

Everybody needs
respect and dignity,
Oh, we cannot have that
without equality.
Whenever the law
Protects only the few,
Tyranny arises,
And then what can we do?
For equal protection under the law
under the law
For equal protection
under the law.

We will not go on
when someone’s left behind,
our brothers and our sisters
Will not be redefined.
From the mountaintop
where we have been led,
our voices will be heard,
we all will march ahead,
For equal protection under the law
under the law
For equal protection
under the law.

So that’s it.

Hope all of you have a grand weekend!
