it is quite legitimate that idm is apolitical, just the way it's legitimate for socks or apple pies to be apolitical. they're there to do their job, and if you want to become informed and politically active, they won't hold you back. the idiocy which passes itself off for political consciousness raising in much past and present pop music is embarrassing and useless for the most part. I'd rather read a good book or journal. kurt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that sometimes it?s easier to desire and pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers than it is to accept the love and loyalty of those closest to me And I would tell you that sometimes I prefer to look at myself through someone else?s eyes Eyes that aren?t clouded with the tears of knowing what an asshole I can be, as yours are. If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns rather than hearing everything as an accusation or an indictment against me I would tell you that sometimes I use sex to avoid communication it?s the best escape when we?re down on our luck But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger, and let?s fuck If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish And sometimes I would rather face not eating than face licking it clean And admitting when I?m selfish And I?d tell you that I?m suffering from the worst type of loneliness The loneliness of being misunderstood, or more poignantly the loneliness of being afraid to allow myself to be understood If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that the personal revolution is far more difficult and is the first step in any revolution If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion And that politics is merely the decoy of perception.
