I admit it. This blog is NOT consistent. What it is keeps changing. Right now, it's pretty much a place where I keep photos, videos, and links to websites that interest me. Before that, I wrote a few blogs myself and still do once in a blue moon. But most of the stuff before the links are just reprints of articles I found interesting. Email me at OlderMusicGeek(at)yahoo(dot)com.

SPIRITUALITY/RELIGION - Obama NSA Now Wiretapping the Prayers of All Christians
Kansas resident Amy Grant noticed that every time she went to her local prayer booth to pray, she would suddenly develop ‘intense migraine’ pain. New revelations from Edward Snowden reveal how Obama and the NSA have developed a way to ‘wiretap’ the prayers of all Christians and archive what people have been praying for in a large database.
The END TIMES are truly upon us, my friends. The Age of Liberal Darkness is here. The Bible warns that the day shall come when Christians will be hunted down and persecuted by non-believers, forced to accept the Mark of the Beast lest they get tortured.
Today when I woke up, I prayed for the usual: 1) Obama to get impeached 2) The Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl 3) A safe upcoming school year without any tragic stories 4) China’s economic demise 5) A good breakfast.
It is terrifying for me to know that my simple prayer, which maybe lasted about 2 minutes, was probably wiretapped by Agents of Obama and there is some government database that has an archived recording of my conversation with God.

Nelson Mandela, the civil rights leader who rose from a small village in rural, apartheid-era South Africa to become the country's first black President, died on Thursday at age 95. Mandela's election in 1994 ended three centuries of European domination of indigenous African people of the region.

MY LIFE - 50 For My 50th Day 13: "African Convention" by Miriam Makeba and other African political songs
I'm sorry about you can't live in Africa, especially next door to apartheid-era South Africa, and not feel policitical or get a sense of the politics going on in Africa.
As I told a fellow Peace Corps volunteer, "When I arrived in southern Africa, Nelson Mandela was a prisoner. Now as I leave, he's president!" His response: "Then I guess our work is done!"
These songs reflect those tumultuous political times in 1980s Africa and southern Africa.
To be honest, I'm not sorry at all about being political!

CULTURE/SOCIETY: No Thanks for Thanksgiving
One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting.

CULTURE/SOCIETY: Veterans Day 101: How Did it Start and What It Means
Because while the war in Iraq is essentially over, Afghanistan begins to wind down, and we start using drones for everything from surveillance to attacking nothing can replace the efforts of our veterans past and present. And let's hope we can make the right decisions as a country for the sake of the veterans of the future. Here are four things to know about Veterans Day.
