Put another body on the Pyre

Yes we need songs to go with our wonderful war. World War II gave us so many memorable songs. Iraq is a new opportunity for song writers and I have answered the call. I feel this is both patriotic and romantic for couples who have served in the front.
The lyrics are my own and the music is from Put Another Log on the Fire, sung by the Outlaws and Tompall Glaser
Put another body on the Pyre:

Put another body on the pyre.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and burn the tyres.
Toss in my coffin my socks and old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
While you’re at it another pair of feet.

Then slam another body on the pyre, babe,
Together we’ll sizzle and face eternity.

Now won't I let you ride the car-bomb Sunday?
Don't I warn you when you're gettin flattened?
Ain't I a-gonna take you on a tour of dutty someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.
Ain't I always nice when you’re blistered?
Don't I let you handle dynamite?
So, sit here at my feet 'cos they got blown off in the street,
And you know it’s OK for chicks to fight.
So, slam another body on the pyre,
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
Go out to the car and rig a bomb to blow off the tyres.
Wash the shrapnel from my socks and old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
While you’re at it another pair of feet.

Then slam another body on the pyre, babe,
Together we’ll sizzle and face eternity.

Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie: Tales from the 1970s counter-culture: Drugs, sex, politics and rock and roll

Once again I’m plugging my new book Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie. It takes the reader through the life of a 1970s counter-culture drug user. Mark Spies goes from casual pot smoking to habitual use of pharmaceutical narcotics and cocaine. Due to the changing sexual attitudes, Spies has several unconventional sexual encounters. The 1970s brought us the “Woodstock generation.” There was a sense of idealism that developed at the beginning and died at the end of that decade. Many counter-culture books focus on the 1960s, yet there are plenty of events in the 1970s that deserve attention. Nixon’s war in Vietnam and Cambodia dominated the news and affected America’s youth. Nixon’s war on drugs impacted the counter-culture life style. Then there was punk rock, disco, casual cocaine use and revolutions braking out around the world by 1979.With politics in the background, this book gives the reader a look at drug use and the difficult business of drug dealing. The drugs, sexual attitudes, music and politics made the 1970s what they were. Taken as a whole, this book will give some insight into the people and events of the 1970s counter-culture. The Author is a free-lance writer, living in Maize, KS. He is the author of War on Drugs/ War on People, published by Ide House, 1995, an expose of government corruption connected with the “war on drugs.” Otto has published numerous articles in magazines, journals and newspapers.For More information the book can be seen at Amazon.com. The picture of it can be seen on the Barnes & Noble.com website: or can also be purchased Direct from the publisher.

Indian Army intervenes in Nepal’s Civil War

Nepal’s Royal Army, with the help of the Indian Army, attacked members of the 毛-ist People’s Liberation Army in the western part of Nepal. According to the Revolutionary Worker the battle took place February 28. The government has been in trouble with the guerillas controlling 80% of the country-side. King Gyanendra declared an emergency on Feb. 1, banning all opposition, including freedom of speech, in both print and radio and all activities by political parties of any kind. Indian troops captured seven fighters and took them back to India. The Indian army has captured and imprisoned members of the PLA before, but the 毛-ist were found in India. This is the first time India has taken foreign prisoners from Nepal.
There has been some fear by many in Nepal that Indian would like to intervene and control Nepal as a neo-colony, so it’s hard to say if this will backfire or if India can actually take enough advantage of the situation to make Nepal a neo-colony as President George Bush has done to Iraq.

Toten Hosen; “Hier Kommt Alex.”

I’ve always liked the Toten Hosen song; “Hier Kommt Alex.” Now I found a copy of their song in English. I always liked the music real well, but I never new the lyrics were so good. They’re satirical and make a political statement. It’s an insightful statement. I found their album “Love Peace & Money” in a Lawrence, Kansas record store Love Garden Sounds.

“The Return Of Alex”

In a world designed by the men in greywho decide how we live and breathe,there's a masterplan for the company manfrom the cradle to the company grave.

They thought that you'd be happywith your place in the national schemeand your carefully measured freedomto conform to the corporate dream.

But there's a virus in the software herethat shows like a cancer trace.When you thought it was safe to relax,it's back right in your face.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.

There's something here can't be deniedto satisfy their greed,if they say we don't care what you want'cause we know what you need.
As history will repeat itselfand hate on violence feeds,in every man a darker sidejust waiting to be freed.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.

So you watch the meters ridinand the silent pressure grows,the hate inside is rising,the one you've always known.
When the time is passed for talkingand you've stepped across that line,I will return - vengeance will be mine.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.
