The Good Earth #3-2nd cut.wmv

Another original song from one class combined with the Powerpoint from another..."The Good Earth" class was based on the film and "yellowface" and revolved around Chinese potrayals in American film...I took a song I had wrote in California two years back..in multiple forms and rewrote it in a simple form.."The milk of a whore.." line that begins the song was kind of iffy for me..but they were college age students..and I wasn't condoning being a whore..so I let it stand.. The Powerpoint was my images of China based in the "Factory" idea of China...That it is a country which people order things from ..I began that Unit with the famous "Olympia Diner" skit with John Belushi..The repitition made for a fun role play.."Cheeseburger..Cheeseburger..Cheeseburger..." Maybe even a Chinese business accumen there....It was also my evaluation class at the Wuxi school and even though I didn't get to flesh out the idea as thouroughly as I wanted to...The concept came across and I got good evals....It seemed a perfect idea for "ordering" and I desperately searched for the clip...finding it, I knew I had "it". It all came together in about a day. Which is all I usually got to be "brilliant". Pay-dirt...But then as if it was theri "orders" they screwed me ove rin the contract negotiations...Like the US...The big denial...All programmed to have you pretend you are somebody else who gets to make the money and breeding...You get to work for free..Yipee!....Here I combine the two and come up with something different...It looks for the bigger picture..All the implications you can pull out of it are internalized for me..and I won't go into an indepth reading..Too damn old and tired..Take what you will from it...But the best of it,I keep for myself...cheeseburger..cheeseburger..cheeseburger...
