Adrian Belew I Am What I Am

[dallettbowers]

love Adrian

[TomN2010]

This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard...Not just The Prophet Omega preaching, but also, Adrian's guitar licks are so intense as to make you sit up and listen............

[TomN2010]

Amen

[yocuzz100]

"Some of yall have such a bad luck right now till you couldn't hit a barn with a baseball bat".

[sayyes2bull]

i am what i am and that's all i am and i am it.



[animascat]

i believe this song is meant to be tounge in cheek humor like adrian does so well eg. The ideal women, fish head, the momur, etc. love it. been a fan since i heard the vinyl release lone rhino in the early eighties.

[Logananda111]

Don't be afraid, Be your self and Love the world.

[cacemphaton]

late but worthy addition to the MLITBOG pantheon...

[69torus]

the prophet Omega! I love this track, "you got's to remain to bein' yourself!" : )

the prophet echos some fundamental teachings of Nisargadatta and Ramana Maharshi here! "I AM" STRETCH OUT!!

[danwilliams74]

One of Belew's best! I've been looking for this song for several years now and couldn't remember the title. Great Video Edit! Rock On!

[mojonexus]

Great song, one of my favs.

[theonlysevenismagic]

prophet omega was so cool! i want a collection of his broadcasts. anybody know how i can find them?!! please email if you do!

[0marigolds]

@jameseaster100 1000% agree with you how great this is, love all the imagery - my fav part is the sign at 0:50 "an original is always better than a copy" - great video truck - you are an original - peace ;.)

[FoxtronInk]

David, is good to know that you are around.

[generationx1966]

Today's music sucks so bad!!!! Rock and Roll is in what I consider a "Dark Age" so desperately needing a King Arthur to pull "Excalibur" and save Rock and Roll..........

[truck2112yes]

I agree...for me it started dying in the 80s and has only gotten worse.

[generationx1966]

Yeah for me it was the late 70's and that's when I evolved into Neo punkIt was either that or the Hair band era .Echo and the Bunnymen,Bauhaus,Tones on Tail,Clash... etc....the bitter end for me was the breaking up of Soundgarden,Nirvana......

[truck2112yes]

and the death of Alice in Chains' Layne Staley .

[generationx1966]

If you love Belew then I KNOW you have got to enjoy King Crimson,Court of the Crimson King..

[funnyguise]

@generationx1966 check out Rob Crow and Zack Hill (especially together) if you haven't already

[fossie32]

I just looked for this to see whether anyone had posted it before I did :) Great work, lol with the clip! Good on you.

This track is just brilliant - inspired!

[truck2112yes]

[mikeshoval]

[DEL4343]

i had "young lions" & "mr music head" on cd but lost them in a divorce. then had them on cassette and just lost them. love them both, bet my x-wife hasn't listened to them once.

[truck2112yes]

they are two great ones. i have been meaning to make a couple of new ones...ordered Mr. Music Head a few months back...hopefully I will put one together soon.

[youtuborsprout]

Stretch out!

[speyday69]

I have loved the album "Young Lions" and this mantra in particular, for close to 20 years.

After constant abuse of the cassete tape flying around insidde of cars, boxes, houses, I'm delighted to be re-united with its tracks.

"It ain no use jus trying to be a whirlwind,

....jumpin here & there.......playing checkers with your own life.........That ain't gonna work baby"

--The Prophet Omega

[truck2112yes]
