I wrote and recorded this "concept album" years ago....

https://www.reverbnation.com/mikegriffith/album/33460-the-parable

Thanks so much for listening. A little background:

I conceived of the story in 2OO4 when Bush was reelected. Back then, it was easy enough to fantasize dystopia, but 19 years and one selfish dimwitted despot later (and another in the wings), we're at next level, 3rd-Decade,-of-the-21st-Century Dystopia, so now it seems prescient.

The basic premise is that a right wing concern executes a successful coup de tat and takes control of the US government. The "twist", if you will, is that "God" actually returns while they're well into they're stint. I divided the piece into 2 "sides" , "The Before time" and "Years Later"

Obviously my biggest inspiration was "The Handmaid's Tale." The TV show has me riveted, and as the book compelled me to make the record originally, I thought it'd be cool to make this TV trailer with my own original soundtrack. I think it works well.

And here's one more video I made years ago for the last track.

Thanks again for checking it out.

Please oh please please Please by All that is holy

Please let those nuclear documents be documents he really REALLY wasn't suppose to have.

And please make it so that this alone justifies a subpoena of everything and everyone that is Mar a Lago, including every single one of his phone records, and that they can somehow produce his burner too.

And they find the calls that were never documented or officially placed. The ones he probably placed to every single one of our adversaries.

To Putin. And NK. And to Brazil. To Hungary & to Netenyahu.The calls where he was willing to sell some Nuclear secret shit to the highest bidder.
And when this gets discovered, please let it be declared treason..

And if this be treason, Please, for God's sake, LETS FINALLY MAKE THE MOST OF IT!

Remember Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? (1971)

"The federal government’s chief information security officer is helping an outside effort to hunt for alleged voter fraud"

This is a shameful use of tax payer money if they're on paid leave.

Fellow DU'ers, please riddle me this about the Omaha fiasco

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/28/trump-omaha-supporters-stuck-cold/


1. The rally was held at an airfield. That's a whole lotta space.

2. The buses shuttled rally goers from the parking lot to the airfield.

3. I feel stupid as hell for asking this because I may be missing something but......

4. WHY DID THE BUSES HAVE TO RETURN TO GET THEM? COULDN'T THE BUSES HAVE STAYED ON THE AIRFIELD AND WAITED FOR THE CROWD? THERE WAS PROBABLY ENOUGH ROOM ON THE TARMAC FOR 100 BUSES. THEY MIGHT THEN HAVE HAD TO WAIT IN THE TRAFFIC JAM, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WAITING ON WARM AND DRY BUSES.

5. Just wondering.

"If you are a young African American (or) an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state. You just need to be conservative, not liberal."
