| Bette Midler – Oh Industry Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I can't totally remember the context for the song, but I recall it as some kind of activism: a Cold War era vision of nuclear apocalypse. Hydrogen bombs, military industrial complex and that we're capable of reason not built to perform a function. At the beginning of the end, it cries out to its creator (Oh, Industry!) wondering what's to come. That artful, sudden self-awareness once our life's work is complete. Will I be forgotten? What's it all worth? I did what I thought was right, and maybe still do, as part of the larger machine. Ashes to ashes. |

| Joni Mitchell – Not to Blame Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It's funny because I figure Mitchell was just reiterating what the (often ridiculous) entertainment media said at the time, which she may have been prone to believing for whatever reason. | |
