There’s no need to search anywhere
Happiness is here, have your share
If you know you’re loved, be secure
Paradise is love to be sure
Don’t you know that it’s true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

I think that's MTV's "Pimp my Ride: SE Asia Edition"

Actually, the world is steam-punk.

Please note the rig is towed by a cow - and I know this type of Brahma cow, simply the prettiest eyes in the universe. And they dry the cow shit to cook with - and the kids toss the dried dung around in games - sustainibility to the max.

Great pix, when can we get them for downtown Seattle?

Your right and beauty is in the ass of the beholder... that is, as in.... beast of burden.

And guess what Dear Paul Constant:

You being the Stranger writer must be happy to hear another reader found your article Towers of Babble in Jan. Feb.2008 UTNE ( originally printed in Sept. 6th 2007 The Stranger.

I received the copy of loose change from my friend and on again off again former co-worker guitarist friend years ago.... good for you for writing an article and having it reprinted for pay know doubt in a published re-published article.

As someone who at least in appearances is ridiculed on the street for looking in the sky and asking why.... my answer to not geetting a job and joining the zeitgeist makers of David Icke like legitimate muck- rackers is that years ago I talked to Josh Feit and Dan Savage and said there was something weird going on at work... and walla!... the cd attempt 'give the world love and peace' about 9-11 inside job got me nothing but myspace. page problems, head psyche games and people in recognizably strange cars driving up on street corners and trying to run me over or sell me "hard" sometimes with a cash incentive as a bribe no less...

Now that it's being reported in the Times and PI that the city and the mayor and the police guild are at odds and I can't get to any old e-mails maybe you'll say my second attempt at playing nice with a bunch of old guys in a dumb bar band was poor sportsmanship and it cost us the superbowl... or maybe you'll say I'm bitter. Possibly lazy, because I resent the shocks from either military or metro transformers and the mind numbing underworld of reverse 9-11 info tracking systems. Then again maybe it's some other agency using both of our talents to opinion poll this city and the election process because we both support The Stranger.... More likely I'll get someone who sits next to me in the library and sniff loudly saying either nothing or implying I have a drug problem or am playing pity the fool.

I've said it in the streets and I'll say it here... 9-11 happened... oh ya... did you forget to put in your article that the hard copies from world court scandles and land and tribunal war crimes got burned up or destroyed in the 9-11 fiasco or did it get edited out? Gee maybe that had something to do with France and the 7.1 billion in missing trades or god knows what in broken computer codes....
Signed,
Too stubborn to get a job like the real world and work for a dead system until after the election and next supreme court nomination so I'll have some good fire in my belly to write my next " ten year good idea theme" and that will put it in line for the next election cycle... and the band book club for re-hab dolts....thank you very much.

p.s.,
....real world means... is the world we live in here in Seattle... not Peter Gabriel and God,save the Queen, England.

Great song, great band. I love me some War--and I don't mean the lower-case kind. If I were doing a radio show, I'd segue into Curtis Mayfield's "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go." To get things back on the good foot, I'd follow with Parliament's "Up for the Down Stroke."

This was the runner-up design entry for the South Lake Union Trolley.

I think I saw Josh driving one of those rigs up I-5 from Olympia recently.

I love how I can tell a Mudede post is a Mudede post without looking at the author's name.

At least the guy in the truck is out of the rain today.
