I dont think God ( Jesus Christ) has anything to do with this war declared on Iraq. Just because someone says "Its God's will" does not make it true. Correct me if I am wrong, but did Jesus command to teach the gospel and baptize (Matthew 28:19 )or to kill and say that it is "God's Will"? How many people will be able to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ ( Acts 2:38) is they are dead?
@Orthodoxcrusader You know Jim and David are really good friends and tour together right? I love both! (although I must confess, I love David just a tad more.) But Jim is amazing song-writer in his right. Cheers!
@Orthodoxcrusader Yeah I think David tells better stories and really lets you feel the emotion and jim just coments and is sorta laid back. Jim has been playing snice the early 70s so he most diffently "isn't trying to be David." But I think David learned a lot from him. If you're interested look up, "Palestine" "WTO" and "I'd Rather Be Dancing." Some powerful stuff. I was gonna see David play last week, but I was sick :(
The election is now over and Obama has won and rightly so. I was shocked and dismayed over the past few years as I watched incidents like this play out over America...thank God we still had folks willing to risk their personal safety to allow their voices to be heard! Of course, this being America, aren't we supposed to have that right anyway? Ding dong the witch is dead, long live Obama!
Thank you Protest Nation for showing us images that no network would dare... for reporting the truth via JPs great song...as I write this, we are two hours away from the first polls closing on the east coast - an act that will hopefully be bringing us back to sanity....there is so much to hope for today...
How are you feeling about your country now that Obama has been in office nearly four months? He is nearly as horrifying in my opinion as GWB. He is going back on nearly every pre-election promise. He is spreading our military misery further and further. When will we learn that spreading democracy by gun will never ever work? I envison we who speak out being rounded up just as was done in Minneapolis last summer.
Thank you for telling - singing - this story, Jim. We live in frightening times, and the RNC protests might well be the domestic Pearl Harbor of our time. What happens in the next 24 hours (election day) matters a great deal in this regard.
FULL DISCLOSURE: Jim Page is a long-time personal friend. This is not new. Jim has been regularly writing new songs about current issues for almost 40 years. On many occasions i have witnessed him compose entertaining, thought-provoking songs on the spot. He is legend in the Pacific NW; a "Correspondent From Reality" who never insults your intelligence by pretending to be "objective." He just reports what he himself sees and experiences.
Very good video and great to hear Jim Page doing what he does best. He can capture a moment like no one else. Thanks for making this film for the world to see. This IS how the war came home...
