There were certain key words: Reggae, the fact that certain words were repeated in the lyrics: "there's gotta be a better way."<br /><br />I would have found it sooner, but was given incorrect information on one site regarding the name of the group.<br /><br />The site called the group, mistakenly: the <i>Mystic Revellers</i>, when in fact, they are the <i>Mystic Revealers</i>.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17966756.post-59732366955859921792010-02-12T19:50:36.798-08:002010-02-12T19:50:36.798-08:00That's it!

"They rem...Did you write the poem? I like it.<br /><br />"They reminded me of any Hollywood sequel of a sequel. Unimaginative, formulaic, predictable, tame and the opposite of anything that might actually offend someone, which is what worthwhile artistic endeavours never fail to do." <br /><br />As you say: They're safe. They don't risk, because risk-taking invites a flop. And millions are at stake: investment cost and profits.<br /><br />It's a Disney animated flick formula: if you seen one, you've see them all, just different characters, different scenery, and different dialog.<br /><br />Maximize profits, not creativity, not vision, not innovation.<br /><br />This approach has to be mind-numbing, soul-wrenching, and ultimately disastrous for our economy and our colletive spirit.<br /><br />We (the country) need to rethink our values. We need to rethink what makes life worth living, and truly productive.<br /><br />It can't all be about our customary definition of winning, where the winner is the one who dies clutching the most toys.<br /><br />As one wealthy person observed as he recuperated on his Intensive Care bed, a BMW can't park along side my bed, and comfort me.<br /><br />You're evolving my friend. You're putting things in their proper perspective, sizing them up as to which ones really matter, and which ones don't.<br /><br />Be warned: You'll have to replace your disenchantment with something meaningful, or you'll think this journey you're own is useless, and for naught.<br /><br />It has a purpose.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.com
