As we wait patiently for time to pass, countries to reopen, vaccines to emerge…. and perhaps even for some politicians to be voted out or removed from office….I stumbled upon a new cover that I felt compelled to share!
Do you remember that spoken word piece called “God” that was a B-side to “Do You Believe in Shame”? Well, I found something a little more updated. Alright…I admit it, Jason sent me the link and it’s a little something he did all on his own… and it’s fantastic!
Thirty-two years earlier, in 1988, the words had more to do with the Iran-Contra hearings. In 2020, it’s a pandemic, yet the feelings are the same.
“…it was just the thought that in this particular democracy, and probably every other one in the world, there is somebody who believes he is more right than all the people who put him there.”
And with other updated lyrics such as “Outside the wind was howling the doo-doo’s from Hungry Like the Wolf”…it provided me with a much needed chuckle. After all, we can’t stay mad ALL the time, can we?
Kudos to Jason (@VelvetRebelMusic) for taking the initiative, and Strangeways Radio for posting it on YouTube. I love it!
