rev tim haggard: music saturday

A song I listened to recently put me in mind of Reverend Tim Haggard's situation.

The song is by the band 'Garbage.'

The title of the song is "Sex is not the enemy"

Sex Is Not The Enemy                          

No evolution
Sometimes it depresses me
The same old same
We keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction
Sex is not the enemy

A revolution 
Is the solution
A revolution 
Is the solution

I won't feel guilty
No matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart and sex is not the enemy

A revolution
Is the solution
A revolution
Is the solution

True love is like gold
There's not enough to go around
But then there's god and doesn't god love everyone?
Give me a choice
Give me a chance to turn the key and find my voice
Sex is not the enemy

A revolution
Is the solution
A revolution
Is the solution
Sex is not the enemy
A revolution

TED Haggard, Swifty! T.E.D.--as in 'Pastor Ted.'

No wonder we barely knew how to respond to the previous 'Peter Pan' song, almost as bad as this one--oh well, maybe it sounds better than it reads. I love 'true love is like gold There's not enough to go around', which has an oblique echo of 'The hills are alive With the sound of music...'

There are more reasons than mere charisma and sales aspirations to call oneself 'Garbage', one sees.

'The Haggard family was in the news again in 1987, when the evangelist's brother, TIMOTHY, at the time an Albany pharmacist, was convicted of attempted murder in connection with a knife attack on his estranged wife in the couple's northwest Muncie home.'

This just stoke the fires of poor-song inspiration...

Patrick, I highly recommend this song. By the same group: 'My bad boyfriend.' High energy rock.

Yes, I think that is along clear-cut new lines of discourse...and wasn't it terrible the way the Spice Girls stole this from Millie Small (1964):

My boy Lollypop
you make my heart go giddy up
you are as sweet as candy
you're my sugar dandy
wo ooh

'My Bad Boyfriend' is the post-9/11 sequel to 'My Boy Lollypop' and possibly Dr. Dre's somewhat gruesome 'I Just Wanna F--- You..'

Of course, the song that would have made Mike Jones b---- slap Pastor Ted is yet to be unveiled...

Shit! Y'all have quit allowing cussing with or without pain.

Tim Haggard, once wanted my son to be a pastor's assistant there in Colorado Springs. I'm glad he didn't do it. Whe knows what that man might have tried.
