After i wrote my last blog on how we should rid ourselves of hollow distraction and resort back to the Golden Age, and a John Prine song came to mind. Here is a you tube link of this song: Spanish Pipe dream (blow up your tv).
one thing though, in this song where he says, "throw away your paper" i dont think he was going on the tangent i was earlier (important to note that i don't actually believe this but) that all literature is a waste of time, rather i think meant just the newspaper because i mean, what is news today really anyway?
Also the other line, that i at first had quarrels with was "try to find Jesus on your own" I remember first thinking "what's this guy a Jesus freak?" but then i remembered that no, John Prine is the man, and the importance is in the lines: "on your own" meaning, find spirituality independently, the way you see it...what a cool guy.
