Subject: tmbg quote /censored/

well hello all,

   Residing in good ol' Ct.. I was lucky enough to get accepted at a really
expensuve prep school..  No one here would know good music if it bit them on
the ass.. but thats a different point altogether... I submitted a paraphrased
tmbg lyric for my senior quote..
it is as follows:

   I was the worst hope of my generation, destroyed by madness, starving
hysterical.
i should be allowed to share my feelings, i should be allowed to think....
..... but sadly this will never be,
 i am not allowed to think..................................

  Now being that Im in the most censorship plagued school in the entire world
(the schools joke of a newspaper is run by  a believer in the theories of
marx, and is frequently seen wearing pro-communist t-shirts... who obviously
thinks we're in the old soviet union  will not let any thing questionable
into thew newspaper) sent this quaote through a review board and deemed this
quaote a direct attack on the administration and faculty..
   my point is if they dont print the quote, doesnt their actions prove the
validity of the quote?

still not allowed to think............
       the plaguerat

I have the October of 1994 120 Minutes taped, (They hosted it), and I have
the Live from the House of the Blues on tape.  We really should get these
all on one big compilation tape and disribute it.  Did They ever go on
Arsenio?

	Sorry, but this doesn't quite make sense. This bloke's a raging
communist, but attends and vigorously defends an "expensive prep school".
Surely if he was such a left winger, he'd be trying to raze the schoolto
the ground or something similar.
	A believer in the theories of Marx... doesn't that make him a
Marxist rather than Communist? Pro-communist T-Shirts??? Do they sell them
in the good old US of A? How thoroughly UnAmerican. Where's Senator
McCarthy when you need him?

You are right about this.

That would make him a Marxist but didn't Marx write the Communist Manifesto?  Now granted
Marx would not believe in the way the communists set up and ran the former Soviet Union but
he did believe in a proletariet communist society did he not?  (I could be wrong I'm not a history
nor political science major).

Hehehe, yeah unAmerican but anything will sell in the USA, heck you can buy the Anarchist
Cookbook from some book stores.

	i dont think so...but they did host 2 episodes of 120 min. and
on they second, between the talking/reading teleprompter parts, they
performed lyricless versions (with the full band) of some of their
songs, most memorable no one knows my plan (before it had
lyrics!)...it was pretty smoov...and they apparently also dod Nick
Rocks a long time ago..like around the time of lincoln.

Hullo, kids.  I was jut wondering how many of you know all the words to
T-bone Stankus' immortal little ditty, "Existential Blues?"  It's kind of
a bet between my buddy Liz and I.  I think everyone on earth knows them,
and she thinks no one does.
