Radio K.A.O.S
I've been paying attention to Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos and absorbing it almost by osmosis listening on my iPod while working in the yard. I just put up my outdoor speakers for the season (in case you're curious, it's these) and was looking for something rocking to play this afternoon when I stumbled across a cd I haven't listened to in almost 15 years. I was a junior in high school when this album came out and it has languished in the cd rack for many years but after seeing the title, Radio K.A.O.S, I had a nice chuckle and threw it in. It was nostalgic, to say the least, and after listening to it twice, I discovered some interesting parallels to Rush's Operation Chaos. While Waters attacks Reagan, Thatcher, nuclear war and all things technological, the songs could easily, with a couple of word changes here and there, be applied to today's war with the Democratic Party. The last song on the cd is especially apt. Titled "The Tide is Turning" it has a line that goes thusly:
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Who holds the aces the east of the west
This is the crap our children are learning
Brings to mind what is being taught in schools today, no? At the end of the song, there is a rousing male choir singing the chorus that brings to mind the Army choir rush played a few days back. Inspirational both, FWIW.
