Topical Sex Pistols Tribute
by gravyman ini've recently started listening to the work of tom lehrer and, what with all the un stuff going on lately, i felt inspired to try my hand at satire for the first time [poetry's usually my thing.].
apologies in advance if the reference is obscure; i appreciate that not everyone here will be au fait with the sex pistols' catalogue, but for those that are...enjoy (i hope .
(tune: 'emi').

interesting quote...
by gravyman inhi folks,.
just wanted to share a little something i read over the weekend, from "how to be god" (andre deutsch, 1986) by expat hungarian, george mikes.. it's a reference to a "brilliant and frightening analysis of stalinism" by nobel prize-winning polish author ceslav milos; i'd be interested to hear if anyone gets resonances from this similar to the ones i picked up.... "[milos] stated that there were a hundred and one basic tenets of the creed and if someone doubted a single one of them he was branded a traitor to communism and thrown into prison or, perhaps, tortured to death.. "no one, not even stalin himself, believed in all the hundred and one dogmas but all behaved as if they did.
people who did not believe in the creed persecuted and prosecuted others who did not believe in it either.
