A GRAPHIC INTENSIVE SONG DEDICATED TO COMPASSIONATE LEADERS; SHOWING REAL "SYMPATHY"guess the name
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 04:13 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
While reading about Gandhi, it occurred that I should perhaps have some sympathy for "compassionate conservatives."

In seeing the power of his approach to an adversary, it seemed like the right way to help others see the truth and find real illumination.

Perhaps his ideas, which closely match the teachings of Buddha and Jesus, are exactly what we need as elections approach.

Perhaps repaying the verbal attacks of neocons with kind words will win the day.

All these things I pondered.

Then...

I remember that I was

JEFFERSONS GHOST and said to Hell with all that over-ripe spiritual sweetness... I'm a GHOST and it's Halloween weekend!

Here's their sympathy song:


IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN AS YOU VIEW MY IMAGES CLICK ON AND TURN IT UP! http://irocknroll.com/media/The_Rolling_Stones_-_Sympathy_for_the_Devil.mp3

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL


Written by: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
Produced by: Jimmy Miller
Album: Beggar's Banquet
Date: 1968

Please allow me to introduce myself



I'm a man of wealth and taste



Ive been around for a long, long year



Stole many a mans soul and faith



And I was round when jesus christ



Had his moment of doubt and pain



Made damn sure that pilate



Washed his hands and sealed his fate



Pleased to meet you



Hope you guess my name



But whats puzzling you



Is the nature of my game



I stuck around st. petersburg



When I saw it was a time for a change



Killed the czar and his ministers



Anastasia screamed in vain


I rode a tank



Held a generals rank



When the blitzkrieg raged



And the bodies stank



Pleased to meet you



Hope you guess my name, oh yeah



Ah, whats puzzling you



Is the nature of my game, oh yeah



I watched with glee



While your kings and queens



Fought for ten decades



For the gods they made



I shouted out,



Who killed the Kennedys?



When after all



It was you and me



Let me please introduce myself



I'm a man of wealth and taste



And I laid traps for troubadours



Who get killed before they reached bombay



Pleased to meet you



Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah



But whats puzzling you


Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby



Pleased to meet you



Hope you guessed my name,
oh yeah



But whats confusing you



Is just the nature of my game



Just as every cop is a criminal



And all the sinners saints



As heads is tails



Just call me Lucifer



cause I'm in need of some restraint


So if you meet me



Have some courtesy



Have some sympathy, and some taste



Use all your well-learned politesse



Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah



Pleased to meet you



Hope you guessed my name, um yeah



But whats puzzling you



Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down



Woo, who



Oh yeah, get on down



Oh yeah
Oh yeah!



Tell me baby, whats my name?



Tell me honey, can ya guess my name


Tell me baby, whats my name?



I tell you one time, you're to blame



Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who



Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who



Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who



Oh, yeah
What's my name



Tell me, baby, what's my name?



Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?



Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who



Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who



Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who



Ooo, who, who



Oh, yeah

4. I was hoping YOU'D pick up my slack again, like last time...
it takes so long to find good imagery, I haven't even started learning how to do video yet... Besides, I could NEVER match your artistry.

9. my emails got all screwy and out of order when my photbucket went freaky...
photobucket got back in correct working order, so maybe now my email is back right... I visit LOTS of sites for my imagery and probably attracted some attention. Just in case I did, I sent myself an email with the title "PROJECT X" and told Homeland Security or NSA or whoever it might be what I thought of their actions... I mean, screw all this getting spooked stuff! I'm in the USA and can go to WHATEVER sites I want! Shit like that STILL doesn't sit right with me! I'll check again

19. I'm glad you didn't change your Lady Liberty icon... the other was...
fantastic graphics but too dark and busy for your uses, besides I might not recognize you as fast, with a new face!

24. naa, it's part of your image. besides that was a pretty serious vow
keep it up till we get rid of the Patriot Act. Lady Liberty is indeed crying over that atrocity of legislation.

27. the one i put up today on The BOXER by S&G DID leave um speechless...
for nearly too long at about dawn today... It got a few votes then drifted quietly down the page until I decided it would not die uselessly like the people it commemorates.

SftD is the perfect song for the bushites. But one thing confuses me. Why the pic of Chuck Schumer on the last Devil tarot card?

28. and while we're shamelessly promoting OPs, here's one that matters....
but first I'll answer your question Autonomy... I wasn't familiar with that particular deck but the online images fit together well with the Republican candidates. I like the RWS and Thoth for depth of meaning in imagery but the prettiest and most historic is Visconti Gold, IMHO. Now for something REALLY close to my heart, check out this recent post with Simon and Garfunkel music:

16. The fruits of a previous Jeffersons Ghost thread...
Blatantly going off topic (and repeating a post)...

Anyone interested in contacting Skinner about adding a video group?

I just learned last month about Windows Movie Maker thanks to a DUer...didn't even know that I had that software on my computer.

Since that time I've created a few videos for You Tube using pictures with soundtracks. See the video that I created from a previous Jeffersons Ghost thread:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78lHcrxGx94

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...


I'd like to see a group formed because I could use some help. I have loads of pictures, but coming up with a theme and/or a song for the soundtrack is a stumbling block. The "Sounds of Silence" video came together quickly because Jeffersons Ghost supplied the images and song, which I had on CD.

Additionally, I'm still on a learning curve, so maybe some of the more experienced videomakers could serve as coaches.

Anyone interested?

Thanks!

22. i wish they could have the same "haunting" as the vets coming back...
as the COWARDS they are, though, PTSD will never be much of an issue with them, unless they get RAPED in jail... he, he, he... I know, they'll end up at some rehab type retreat, like Cunningham but hope is a beautiful thing.

Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 09:52 PM by SalmonChantedEvening
Sad to say, they will probably all end up in country club prisons once convicted.

They should be in Fed lockups, just to see if it's the deterrent they claimed it was went they voted for mandatory sentences.

Edit: hope I spelled the name right this time LMAO
