WTW The World Is Watching.
Go and brag about your misery some place else he doesnÂ’t work for anyone else.
You use his words to make your point but his first dreams were of West Point.
Just like those you hope to imitate, to that call he never did relate.
Go ahead and take all you can steal to him politics never were the deal.
So stand up and boo when he cranks it up for you just like they did you will too.
You have no idea what rebellion really is it was only the music that was his.
Take it, twist it, use it for your own but he is one whose soul is his own.
The certainty is you will find yourself alone just like Joan you canÂ’t harness a rolling stone.
Here are your bloggers
My Apologies to Mr Zimmerman. But fight fire with fire I always say. Cindy's cheap lame attempt to connect with the 60's antiwar movement. I don't buy it. So while Mr. Zimmerman was part of the civil rights movement he left and never came back once it morphed into an anti war ordeal. Then they all called him a traitor and hated him so to come back now and try and reuse him or associate him with a cause he was never part of sucks air. The day I see him standing next to you I'll change my mind. Also I've checked his bebsire and I can find no mention of poiltics, Cindy, the war pro or con.

A lot of people might not get this WTW post unless:
1. they were a HUGE Bob Dylan fan,
2. had seen "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, A Martin Scorsese Picture" (which was on Kentucky Educational Television 9-26 & 9-27),
3. Were at least old enough to vote for Ronald Reagan,(and yes I voted for him both terms)
4. (last but not least) worked with Howie and considered him a friend.
Good poem Howie, way to go!! Most people would have thought that Dylan was a red, he's not that politcal of a person, just a dedicated musician trying to pay the bills.

Yeah I figured not a lot of support on this one.
I'll do it for me.
How can you be a product of the 60's and still be pro war now.
Simple. If you take your responsability to be politically aware and really really believe that social justice for those willing to work and freedom of speech and limited government are values you believe in. Then if you actually look at what the islamofacists think about that how can you not be.
None of those values are on their list. I feel that is where the movements of the 60's went a bit off track. How can you fight for social justice and equal rights here and not also believe that those values are important enouhg for the rest of the world. I can tell you the islamists have no such values and would saw off country joes head in a heartbeat.
Also too many men in blue and grey have soaked this land with their blood. We have turnd our cheek with the USS cole we turned our cheek on the embassies. Some times as bad or ugly as war is there are things worth fighting for. If we kick every islamofasist int he worlds ass OK with me. They don't believe in that stuff anyway. You will never find Mullah Omar jamming country Joe and the Fish.
