Moved to try to comment on
The Case for Obama
By Tim Dickinson
I'm sure that my comments must violate their "community standards" by dissing Jann Wenner, who greatly enjoys his access power - a link on the page of this miserable article boasts of his talk with Obama. Not that Obama is going to say "Jann, I'm cutting you off, I read a negative comment about myself on one of your articles."
No, but Wenner runs a tight ship, like so many of those 60s survivors that are more uptight and control freaks than their parents ever were. Top to bottom, full spectrum dominance, that's the way things are done these days, and with unprecedented ability to monitor information, with unprecedented amounts of information flowing through a few giant pipelines, it's never been easier to punish the outspoken, and reward the servile.
If I ever get on Wenner's radar, I've ruined my chance forever to get into his "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." I'm doing this for the world, hope it appreciates it.
Anyway, my comment:
Apparently millions of people were not paying attention. Not paying attention to Obama's voting record when he was in the Senate, not paying attention when he said the recent president he admired the most was Ronald Reagan. Obama has done a wonderful job of being a Republican President, like the 3rd Bush term (per many Bush Admin members, several of them now working for Obama), like Reagan that he admired so much, like Nixon... he falls short of Pappy, who did something no other recent presidents (including Obama) have done - tried to draw some boundaries around Israel's criminality. I don't envy Dickenson, when the boss is a rich and powerful man and he says "give the president a blowjob" you don't have much choice. Been there, done that, value my current independence almost as much as life itself. --
I want to play in your town for you and 2 of your friends.

What happened to Terry and his marriage to wendy? She got married to Don Francisco.....was Terry unfaithful? ///
Wendy and Don are very happy.
@RodCleaves wow, way to dodge the question! I did a little web surfing, and I couldn't turn up a thing, it seems ol' Terry's been airbrushed out of the pictures.
It isn't uncommon for Christian artists to change horses in the middle of the stream, of course... Amy Grant's switch is the best well known, but there's also Da T.R.U.T.H. (and apparently several of his peers), Michael English and Marabeth Jordan... of course, they can't keep up with those televangelists....
@mattlove1 Wendy, at least, pretty selective about what she believes. Her MySpace page says: "Sometimes we struggle with how He is portrayed as angry or judgemental. This does not seem to be our experience with Him, nor is it what the Bible says about Him." She should try actually reading the book before she writes such a blatant, utter falsehood! Amy Grant, Jessica Simpson, and Katy Perry have solved the hypocrisy problem by simply leaving Christian music.
