Here's my latest Flash attack ad called "Swiftboat Hatriots" (Rhymes with PATRIOTS) featuring the lovely strains of Jimi Hendrix playing his masterpiece "Machinegun"..

Pass this around, let the People you send it to know that a VETERAN made this, me :)

10. Your best--AGAIN?

Once again, he's right...it's starting to get tiresome...

On edit: My Hendrix Band Of Gypsies story: the record label sent me a 20th anniversary editon of the album. I told them it wasn't necessary because I still had it on vinyl, and thanked them for making me feel so young.

:D

[Bozita]

13. typo in the first minute

"consistently"

Terrific piece of work. Thanks.

[0rganism]

14. Jimi's guitar licks fallin' on my ears like a warm jungle rain

Way to stick it to the fuckers. You nailed the sleaze, but hard, this time.

Loved the Starcraft victory frame flashin' in for a cameo, too. One of my personal favorites...

[leftbend]

15. It was great

Hendrix ,what can I say, so many memories. I think that was the the most evocative music for this piece, perfect for anything related to Vietnam. Keep up the good work please.

[seventhson]

16. Hey Symbolman! I was THERE!!!

When Jimi did machine gun at the Fillmore East in 1969-70 New Years show. Man it was awesome. Great piece of music/

Great Flash

Thanks for sharing

I think it works great but young folks are not hip enough to get it all...

Machine Gun - sung by Jimi - a Vietnam era veteran (Air Force) after he left the service - is just fucking awesome.

[Generic Other]

17. Very professional presentation!

Bravo! Are y'all one of those 527s Bush is all bent outta shape about?

[nostamj]

18. defeat HATRIOTISM!

awesome job as usual Michael!

(and I LIKE the music!)

[BiggJawn]

19. I'll see it tomorrow when I'm on the Backbone, BUT....

It's gonna be pretty hard to top "Triumph of the WIMP".

That one rocked the Casbah!

[BiggJawn]

34. Wow! You topped "Triumph of the WIMP"

Really tight production!

I'm passing this one around, too!

[democrat_patriot]

20. That was great.

I am glad you are using your powers for good.

Thanks!!

[Scout]

21. great, thanks, I've forwarded the link to my list. eom

[SheepyMcSheepster]

22. great job! that hendrix track really gets to me

very nice looking and good info. "machine gun" is one of the best. that is a great song.

[jonnyblitz]

27. i love that song too

hendrix makes that guitar SING!!

[dpbrown]

23. Excellent summary!

And beautifully presented.

I'm already passing it on.

DPB

[SoCalDem]

24. Very nice.... two teensy quibbles though

early on you have "flyer" spelled as flier...and near the end you have "who's" lives saved instead of whose...

:)

[RebelOne]

33. Thanks, I was going to point that out.

But otherwise, it is excellent.

[Bundbuster]

25. Thanks for all you do, symbolman

Great work, especially the wobbling bushbaby head. Loved the music too, but then I was 22, listening to Hendrix when all that chit was going on.

I'm posting it to my site, proud to be a bushbuster with people like you putting in so much energy.

[Eric J in MN]

26. Cool. You should write a press release and send the

press release to lots of news email addresses.

[underseasurveyor]

28. Do you and the others at TBTM ever do anything

That is not totally awesome? I think not ;-) :bounce:
:toast: To another fantastic flash well done!
:kick:

[KelleyKramer]

29. Great job! one suggestion ...

Outstanding job symbolman! You got a lot said there and its very well done, great music and the Hendrix riffs were awesome with the visuals.

One suggestion ...

Put that in a page by its self, a dark background with no distractions.


And I agree, that’s one of your best ever!

[Octafish]

30. That's what you always say, symbolman!

You're always correct, too.

Excellent work. Top notch! So true it hurts to know.

Thank you, DU Friend symbolman!

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. Every time I see one of your flash videos

I think.."It can't get any better than that!"...wrong! THIS is awesome, symbolman!

Jimi ROCKS!

:yourock:

[Renew Deal]

32. That's excellent

:yourock:

[Sub Atomic]

35. Great Work, but

I've always admired your talent, but there has always been one thing that bothers me: the timing of your animations.

In Hatriots, you present a ton of information, but you don't give the viewer enough time to actually read everything before it moves to the next frame.

The only suggestion I would make is to have someone who is not familiar with the text on each frame review the entire animation. Let them advise you to the speed of your transitions to the viewer has enough time to read and absorb the info you are presenting.

Great work. I'm jus' sayin...

[JHB]

36. Good, but not your best...

I can't put my finger on it, maybe some of the others' comments articulate it better than I can, but it didn't "thump me in the chest" like some of your others have.

Then again, it's not as if I'm the one producing them, so I'm one to talk, right?

No matter what out petty quibbles, keep up the good work.

[King Coal]

37. Yeah Baby, Yeah Baby, Yeah Baby

That's what it was like kids. Symbolman, you brought tears to this old geezer's eyes. Wow!

[ElementaryPenguin]

38. Eggselent!!!

A masterpiece! Thanks!
