i think the thing with the israeli / palestinian situation is that the
israelis are "friends" with the usa government (at least the bush
administration). they may talk about wanting to take care of the problems,
but if it comes down to anything that really adversely affects the israelis,
the usa will pull out.
it's the same with any dictator led country. any country with a bad human
rights record. if they're "friends" with the usa, they don't get touched.
and the uk, as far as i can see it, is reluctant to step in in any
substantial way.

yes the situation is very f**ked up. but i think that's where their attention should be, israel. it's more than a shame, it's disgusting. yes, the usa and israel seem to be "friends", even more reason to step in. i wouldn't stand by and let my friends be killed by their neigbours or support them if they were doing the killing . easier said than done in this f**ked up age.
why doesn't the us want to piss off israel anyway?

definitely anti-war / anti war mentality (to include belligerents on all

war is the failure of reason. there is no glory, only destruction and
waste. and lies...

tim
warmonger explains war to peacenik
author unknown
pn: why did you say we are we invading iraq?
wm: we are invading iraq because it is in violation of security council
resolution 1441. a country cannot be allowed to violate security council
resolutions.
pn: but i thought many of our allies, including israel, were in
violation of more security council resolutions than iraq.
wm: it's not just about un resolutions. the main point is that iraq
could have weapons of mass destruction, and the first sign of a smoking
gun could well be a mushroom cloud over ny.
pn: mushroom cloud? but i thought the weapons inspectors said iraq had
no nuclear weapons.
wm: yes, but biological and chemical weapons are the issue.
pn: but i thought iraq did not have any long range missiles for
attacking us or our allies with such weapons.
wm: the risk is not iraq directly attacking us, but rather terrorists
networks that iraq could sell the weapons to.
pn: but couldn't virtually any country sell chemical or biological
materials? we sold quite a bit to iraq in the eighties ourselves, didn't
we?
wm: that's ancient history. look, saddam hussein is an evil man that has
an undeniable track record of repressing his own people since the early
eighties. he gasses his enemies. everyone agrees that he is a
power-hungry lunatic murderer.
pn: we sold chemical and biological materials to a power-hungry lunatic
murderer?
wm: the issue is not what we sold, but rather what saddam did. he is the
one that launched a pre-emptive first strike on kuwait.
pn: a pre-emptive first strike does sound bad. but didn't our ambassador
to iraq, gillespie, know about and green-light the invasion of kuwait?
wm: let's deal with the present, shall we? as of today, iraq could sell
its biological and chemical weapons to al qaida. osama binladen himself
released an audio tape calling on iraqis to suicide attack us, proving
a partnership between the two.
pn: osama bin laden? wasn't the point of invading afghanistan to kill
him?
wm: actually, it's not 100% certain that it's really osama bin laden on
the tapes. but the lesson from the tape is the same: there could easily
be a partnership between al qaeda and saddam hussein unless we act.
pn: is this the same audio tape where osama bin laden labels saddam a
secular infidel?
wm: you're missing the point by just focusing on the tape. powell
presented a strong case against iraq.
pn: he did?
wm: yes, he showed satellite pictures of an al qaeda poison factory in
iraq.
pn: but didn't that turn out to be a harmless shack in the part of iraq
controlled by the kurdish opposition?
wm: and a british intelligence report...
pn: didn't that turn out to be copied from an out-of-date graduate
student paper?
wm: and reports of mobile weapons labs...
pn: weren't those just artistic renderings?
wm: and reports of iraqis scuttling and hiding evidence from
inspectors...
pn: wasn't that evidence contradicted by the chief weapons inspector,
hans blix?
wm: yes, but there is plenty of other hard evidence that cannot be
revealed because it would compromise our security.
pn: so there is no publicly available evidence of weapons of mass
destruction in iraq?
wm: the inspectors are not detectives, it's not their job to find
evidence. you're missing the point.
pn: so what is the point?
wm: the main point is that we are invading iraq because resolution 1441
threatened "severe consequences." if we do not act, the security council
will become an irrelevant debating society.
pn: so the main point is to uphold the rulings of the security council?
wm: absolutely. ...unless it rules against us.
pn: and what if it does rule against us?
wm: in that case, we must lead a coalition of the willing to invade iraq.
pn: coalition of the willing? who's that?
wm: britain, turkey, bulgaria, spain, and italy, for starters.
pn: i thought turkey refused to help us unless we gave them tens of
billions of dollars
wm: nevertheless, they may now be willing.
pn: i thought public opinion in all those countries was against war.
wm: current public opinion is irrelevant. the majority expresses its
will by electing leaders to make decisions.
pn: so it's the decisions of leaders elected by the majority that is
important?
wm: yes.
pn: but george b-
wm: i mean, we must support the decisions of our leaders, however they
were elected, because they are acting in our best interest. this is
about being a patriot. that's the bottom line.
pn: so if we do not support the decisions of the president, we are not
patriotic?
wm: i never said that.
pn: so what are you saying? why are we invading iraq?
wm: as i said, because there is a chance that they have weapons of mass
destruction that threaten us and our allies.
pn: but the inspectors have not been able to find any such weapons.
wm: iraq is obviously hiding them.
pn: you know this? how?
wm: because we know they had the weapons ten years ago, and they are
still unaccounted for.
pn: the weapons we sold them, you mean?
wm: precisely.
pn: but i thought those biological and chemical weapons would degrade to
an unusable state over ten years.
wm: but there is a chance that some have not degraded.
pn: so as long as there is even a small chance that such weapons exist,
we must invade?
wm: exactly.
pn: but north korea actually has large amounts of usable chemical,
biological, and nuclear weapons, and long range missiles that can reach
the west coast and it has expelled nuclear weapons inspectors, and
threatened to turn america into a sea of fire.
wm: that's a diplomatic issue.
pn: so why are we invading iraq instead of using diplomacy?
wm: aren't you listening? we are invading iraq because we cannot allow
the inspections to drag on indefinitely. iraq has been delaying,
deceiving, and denying for over ten years, and inspections cost us tens
of millions.
pn: but i thought war would cost us tens of billions.
wm: yes, but this is not about money. this is about security.
pn: but wouldn't a pre-emptive war against iraq ignite radical muslim
sentiments against us, and decrease our security?
wm: possibly, but we must not allow the terrorists to change the way we
live. once we do that, the terrorists have already won.
pn: so what is the purpose of the department of homeland security,
color-coded terror alerts, and the patriot act? don't these change the
way we live?
wm: i thought you had questions about iraq.
pn: i do. why are we invading iraq?
wm: for the last time, we are invading iraq because the world has called
on saddam hussein to disarm, and he has failed to do so. he must now
face the consequences.
pn: so, likewise, if the world called on us to do something, such as
find a peaceful solution, we would have an obligation to listen?
wm: by "world", i meant the united nations.
pn: so, we have an obligation to listen to the united nations?
wm: by "united nations" i meant the security council.
pn: so, we have an obligation to listen to the security council?
wm: i meant the majority of the security council.
pn: so, we have an obligation to listen to the majority of the security
council?
wm: well... there could be an unreasonable veto.
pn: in which case?
wm: in which case, we have an obligation to ignore the veto.
pn: and if the majority of the security council does not support us at
all?
wm: then we have an obligation to ignore the security council.
pn: that makes no sense:
wm: if you love iraq so much, you should move there. or maybe france,
with the all the other cheese-eating surrender monkeys. it's time to
boycott their wine and cheese, no doubt about that.
pn: i give up.

your comment speaks exactly to my question that no one will answer: if
you don't like politics, or the particular politics of the indigo girls,
why do you support them by buying cds and subbing to a list about their
(very political) music? i really am truly interested in how someone may
compartmentalize this contradiction. because the indigo girls absolutely
are always very outspoken about the causes they support--intellectually,
musically and financially. i have argued before and i will argue again,
that a list dedicated to the indigo girls is a list dedicated to their
politics because to separate the two is false and disrespectful. i find
it funny that we are constantly asked to "sanitize" discussions that are
so obviously relevant (and important) to ig. furthermore, i don't think
that the recent posts indicating opposition to the war have been
inflammatory or overly verbose. the opposite really.

mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

in defense of a previous poster who made a comment about this being a war
board and not an indigo girls board, i would like to add my 2 cents.
i don't know the poster, but i don't believe his/her post was anti politics/
anti indigo girls.
i went to get my car fixed the other day and i was forced for 2 hours
straight to listen to cnn on the tv in the waiting area on nothing but the
war. i turn on my tv, it's the war. i watch my local news, i hear a 20
minutes weather report on iraq before i know if i need an umbrella in ny.
what the frigg do i care what the weather is like in iraq? i read the
papers, it's the war...i got my hair done, it's the war. i turn on aol, and
there it is again smack-dab in my face on aol's welcome screen (the war is a
welcome?). then i open my email to see i have 17 emails, and guess what?
it's the war!
i am so sick and tired of being forced to listen and participate in the war
24 hours a day. i think that is all the poster was trying to say.
as far as the poll was concerned, why couldn't the original poller ask for
the responses to come to him/her, and then give us one post with the votes?
my god, 17 emails all about the war in less than an hour? we pretty much
know what the views are on this board, it doesn't mean i have to hear them ad
nausea. it also doesn't mean i don't agree with them. what it means is i
want to do more than just talk about the war!
thank you, and now back to your regularly scheduled program without further
commercial (or war time) interruptions.

hey...
i took jason's post to be a joke, but since you ask, and because it's a good
question...
<<your comment speaks exactly to my question that no one will answer: if
you don't like politics, or the particular politics of the indigo girls, why
do you support them by buying cds and subbing to a list about their (very
political) music? i really am truly interested in how someone may
compartmentalize this contradiction.>>
the answer is that their music as a whole ~isn't~ very political. there ~is~
no contradiction.
you could probably count their overtly political songs on both hands. bury
my heart at wounded knee; point hope f.o.i.a.; lucy stoners; philosophy of
loss. it's really a small percentage of their overall oeuvre. more
importantly, some of the songs that ~are~ political are political in an
abstract way - faye tucker works just as well as a pro or anti death penalty
song.
so i, and i'm guessing most people, buy their albums and signed up to this
list simply because they like the indigo girls' music a whole lot.
just because i like someone's music doesn't mean i automatically agree with
their beliefs. one of my favorite bands is eden burning who happen to be
christians and that is interwoven throughout their music, but not in a
particularly blatant way. i'm for all intents and purposes an atheist, but
good music is good music is good music.
amy and emily (and a whole lot of other people i happen to like) are
supporters of the free mumia campaign. i'm totally convinced that mumia
abu-jamal is a guilty motherf*cker who deserves to rot in jail for the rest
of his natural-born life (because i'm anti-death penalty). does that really
impact me when i listen to "ghost"? does buying "swamp ophelia" equate to an
endorsement of all that the indigo girls stand for?
not that it's necessarily a bad thing to discuss any of this stuff here, but
for every ig song about politics there's five about love. on this list that
proportion is reversed :)

i don't understand the need to agree with the ig's politics in order to love
them or their music. i most certainly disagree with much of their politics,
but i don't let it get in the way of appreciating their art. i have no idea
what the political views are of most of the musicians i listen to and
couldn't care less.
do you apply this same standard to all the music you listen to? how about
other people you deal with in your daily life? does the guy you buy your
gas from have to share your politics? how about your grocery store,
plumber, electric company?
btw, i welcome and enjoy the off topic discussions. it keeps things lively.

just got home from the asheville show and the s.a.n.t.a. benefit show in
atlanta. both were fun. amy and the butchies played the typical set-
johnny rottentail, dairy queen, laramie, lucystoners, measure of
me...etc. and ended with refugee as usual. the butchies and 1945 both
played sets as well. my husband recorded the show so if it turns out
well we'll offer it up here soon......the santa show consisted of
michelle malone with band, 1945, and group sex with amy and emily
filling in during different songs. emily showed she could "get her
groove on" on the dance floor during "play that funky music whiteboy".
carol isaacs also played with group sex adding a little extra with the
keyboards on van halens "jump" and princes "lets go crazy" among others.
amy played late bloom with 1945.
sorry, not much of a review but i'm tired.

thanks neil and dave,
i don't think i was being inflammatory or trying to ignite "controversy"
per se... this is just a very interesting question to me.
it's just that *i* would never give money to a band with politics that i
don't agree with, especially if i knew that part of the money would be
going to a particular cause or charity. this is the reason i have refused
to buy the cranberries cds.
i do think that way more of the songs are political than you do,
particularly the love songs since they are lesbians after all. in this
postmodern age we can *read* the songs any way we want to. but it doesn't
change the fact that they sing about politics, they talk about politics on
stage, they invite political groups to their concerts (i myself have set
up the moratorium campaign table at an ig show), they talk about politics
in interviews, the banner on the website flashes activism alerts,
they embody politics in their relationships, etc., etc. it would be
really nice if love had nothing to do with politics, but in this society
it does.
also, if people don't like the posts, there is the delete button--as the
old, cliched saying goes. this list is pretty quiet most of the time, so
i rather enjoy a good discussion. also, i know that it may be tedious to
see and hear and read about the war everywhere (i can empathize). but
another part of me feels like we are so incredibly privileged to be able
to "turn off" the war as if it were only a tv show. i can't help but
think about the innocent people who can't turn it off, but must deal with
the fear of death in their lives everyday.

as much as i can, i don't give my money to people whose politics i
disagree with. this is the case for musicians in particular, as i noted
above. since i live in a relatively liberal area, it is easier for me to
discern the political views of shopkeepers and business owners, i
suppose... there is a local restaurant i stopped patronizing when i saw
their logo in an ad supporting one of those anti-choice pregnancy crisis
centers.
but *you* don't mind the fact that part of the money from a cd
or a concert ticket may be supporting something you disagree with? and it
is interesting that you can ignore ig's political views since they are so
outspoken about them (huge mock nuke outside the concert venue, e.g.).
the implication that if i don't apply exactly the same standard to
everything in my life, then my point is meaningless is a common one.
however i know that it would be impossible to live in this society and
never live with contradiction.
thanks for responding,

as far as not buying an artist concerting their political background...
would you rather have the artist completely shut up about their political
views (ex: cranberries) and listen to their music in unknowingly...?
or have them be able to voice what they believe in and respect them for the
act of standing up for what they believe in no matter if it is your opinion
or not...
no, i don't necessarily agree with everything the indigo girls support, but
there is always one thing i agree with: standing up for what you believe
in...
i am not soooooooo self-opinionated that i can't recognize someone empowered
by their own voice... even if i don't agree with it... and i am not going to
only listen to things that i totally agree with... or i would be surounded
by a whole bunch of me's.
it's empoering to see someone confidenct and pround of what they believe in..
like ig.. that is why i love them...

i love the ig and most of their political beiefs - but there is no way i
would not listen to a band just because i disagreed with their beliefs on
an issue - i have had long letters and dialogue with another celeb over
some issues he supports - and i educated him - he educated me - we came to
an understanding - i mean i have to agree with ryan - if i only listen to
bands that i agreed with - i would be listening to people exactly that
think like me - with is very boring, i like being challenged on my core
beliefs - it makes you know your arguments real well

i'm so excited! i got everybody all worked up! :-)
most of what i would have said was pretty much said by neil. bottom
line for me is this: i subscribed to the indigo girls list because i
want to talk about the indigo girls. i'm sorry, but joe asking the
question "are you pro war or opposed?" has nothing to do with indigo
girls. i think i read somewhere that amy ray likes cheddar cheese.
can i just find out right now, how many people are pro cheddar or
anti cheddar? i mean, amy has an opinion on it, can't we discuss it
here?
i fully support amy and emily's right to have activism be a big part
of their music. but that doesn't mean i have to pay attention to it
or make it an active part of my listening experience. neil said it
best: good music is good music is good music.
>but *you* don't mind the fact that part of the money from a cd
>or a concert ticket may be supporting something you disagree with?
for the most part, no. extreme cases like "the proceeds from become
you will go to the neo nazi party" is an exception. :-) amy and
emily are entertainers. i buy their stuff because they entertain me
(and in this case, i'm using "entertain" as a pretty vague term, but
you can imagine what that encompasses). everyone is entitled to
their opinion. what i like about amy and emily is that most of the
time, they manage to make their points without shoving it down my
throat. if they got to the point where i couldn't listen to their
music without them forcing their views on me, then i'd probably stop
listening. i think amy and emily realize that some people really
love their sense of activism, and some people just like the way they
write music. i'm the latter, and i don't think they would think any
less of me for that.
> and it
>is interesting that you can ignore ig's political views since they are so

not a problem, my friend. again, i like the way a g chord sounds
next to a c chord, and for me, that's why i started listening in the
first place and why i continue to listen today.
on the topic of off-topic discussions, which is what i originally
mentioned in the first place: first off, yes, i was half-joking.
(only half, because the list really had very little ig content
yesterday and the day before). i like to bring levity to the table.
;-) second off, yes, most of the time, i hit "page down" or
"delete." but a million e-mails that just say "pro!" or "opposed!"
is a waste of my time. it's like reading three million "me too"
e-mails. not necessary.
from the faq i received when i joined this list, two points.
"this does not mean that off-topic discussion is not welcome on the
list. however, please limit discussion to subjects that have some
relevance to the music of the indigo girls."
now we have to think about how relevant this is to indigo girls
music. i don't find it very relevant. if you do, that's fine.
second point.
"17) may i conduct surveys over the list?
if you want to conduct any kind of survey over the list, you should
present your idea to the list and ask people to send their responses
to you via private email. you can then compile the data and post
the results to the list at a later date."
hmmm......
you know, my friend who runs a list for the who has a separate list
called "whofans" where people on the main list can discuss politics
or pretty much anything that runs across their minds. but that way,
they are sharing that discussion with other like-minded individuals
who are interested in off-topic discussions. is it really fair to
the hundreds (thousands??) of people subscribed to this list to find
out more about the indigo girls that they have to listen to war
debate? it'd be great if there was an option like this for ig fans
(not that i'm asking our wonderful listowner to create more work).
last i checked, there was an "activism" board on ig's website, as
well as the "fushda" board for, well...anything (and it's the most
active board on the site!).
all i'm saying is that (wait, what was i saying?)...there's a place
for everything. i just don't necessarily feel the main indigo girls
list is a place for political discussion about the war. that's not
what i signed up for. but if the overwhelming majority (and jen
lucero) feel that it's what everybody wants to talk about, then i'll
shut up and just skip the stuff i don't want to read.
again, i only mentioned it at first because i was making a joke. :-)

my .02...
while i wholeheartedly support anyone's right to
speak out politically and socially for or against
any issue that they deem important, i have always
felt that doing so from a stage, or on the air,
or in earshot of any audience who has gathered
for a different reason, to be a complete and
total abuse of being a celebrity.
it used to be, that ig would only speak politics
at a concert if it was a benefit or an hte show,
and i thought that was perfectly reasonable. but
when they, or any other 'celebrities' start
spouting politics from the stage, when i paid to
hear their music, i feel gypped and/or insulted.
just because someone is in front of a mic,
doesn't make them an expert on a political issue.
and whether i agree with the person or not, i
still feel it's the wrong place to 'stand up for
what you believe in'. go ahead and stand up on
your own time, not the time i've paid for. i'm
not stupid, and i can form my own opinion without
a musician/singer/actor telling me how i should
think why - because they're good at
acting/singing/playing guitar? that makes no
sense.
even the info tables aren't intrusive - i mean, i
can ignore those or not, if i want to look i
will, and if not, i can walk by, but i shouldn't
have to listen to a rant about something for
which the majority of the audience has already
formed an opinion about. besides the fact that
even if your opinion is in the majority, it's
wrong to alienate part of your audience when
they've paid to come see you.
anyhow - i know many of you will disagree with
me, but that's how i feel about it.

i like this discussion and do feel much of it is igc. the above points are
good ones. in a way i agree with everyone. i even agree with tara who
talked about being annoyed when musicians take their politics on stage. i
liked ig concerts much more when they were just that...musical concerts. i
also listen to ig for their music and could care less about their politics.
i do admire the use of one's celebrity status to promote a cause...but keep
it off the stage or have a benefit tour like hte that can focus on your
beliefs.
i think the key here is that every individual has to pick and choose what
they are willing to support and not support. obviously i'd be less likely
to support a musician or a company that assisted in supplying n korea with
nukes or something obvious. but after that, it's to each their own. a few
years back, i stopped eating wendy's when they backed out of the ellen
coming out episode. i did it for a year, felt i made a personal statement
and am enjoying biggie fries again now. i recently discovered that the
domino's pizza ceo is a huge pro-life/religious donor. do i still eat
domino's?--yes. i delivered for them for years and am grateful to the
company for getting me through grad school. for me, homophobia is a huge
deal. abortion stance is important to me but not something i'm going to
change my purchasing decisions over. you can't do everything. i have
republican friends who i disagree with regularly but we are still friends.
amy and emily are clearly anti-war. i do grumble a bit as i see their
activism banner scroll across their website. maybe i'm wrong but i don't
think most people logged onto their site to read up on activism. some time
ago i had issues with their playing at mwmf or on an olivia cruise. but i
still see them in concert and will still buy their cd's as they are surely
entitled to do what they please. so i think there's no right or wrong here.
it just depends on how each individual forms their support/purchasing
decisions. for me it's about the music and until ig become skinheads, i'll
keep listenin...can't wait to see em in chicago next week!--greg

<<i don't think most people logged onto their site to read up on

i do......well sort of i log onto see their announcements and the bbs.
i may not be in the majority, but my name isn't "most people."
second, i don't see that having an activism button, and a news button as
pressing one's opinion onto others because nobody requires anyone to
click on them. to someone who doesn't get into the girls' politics,
having those buttons on there might say,"hey everyone! we're activists!
see?"
but i for one am glad that they became more political over the years
(and that those buttons are there for me to access should i need them)
it helped me grow in so many ways.
on the subject of hte 1995 amy said she'd found her "niche," as far as
activism went, and i am glad she did, it's helped so many people who
wouldn't have a voice.
just my .02 worth......oh and this has been a very good discussion....i
hope it stays that way.

just a brief note from a usual lurker...
i'm enjoying this discussion. the intersect between art and everything else is a tricky matter.
a particularly unpleasant example: wasn't it ezra pound who was a supporter of facism? it didn't alter the fact that he was a great poet. still is. and hemmingway was less than enlightened when it came to gender issues and relationships... still...
on the other hand, it's clearly the case from their lyrics, their chatter between songs on stage and their websites (both daemon and the big commercial one), the girls subscribe to a certain set of political perspectives and one of the reasons their music has moved right in on me is because i share those.
i'm glad they're loud and proud about a lot more than being out.
cheers to all.
peace.
kristen

during this discussion, someone (was it neil?) mentioned that faye
tucker could be seen as either for or against the death penalty. with
lines like, "that's why killing don't pay," and "well mercy could prove
us, but nothing would move us, to rise above just being cruel," i always
thought it was unquestionably a song about opposition to the death
penalty. however, i'd be very interested in reading about how the song
could be interpreted as being for the death penalty...anyone???

i always thought faye tucker was pretty clearly anti-death penalty. but i
do thing some of the phrases, like "that's why killing don't pay" are meant
tongue-in-cheek...playing on the fact that murder is what got tucker on
death row, and that capital punishment is just a fancy word for murder, so
that gov. bush was really as much of a murderer as karla faye tucker was.

well, right, but even when those lines are taken that way (and maybe
they were intended to have that double meaning), it doesn't suggest that
the death penalty is the appropriate punishment, it just says that what
the criminal did was wrong. which i think everyone, for or against the
death penalty, would agree with. to me, in order for the song to be for
the death penalty, there would have to be some sort of indication that
killing the criminal was the right thing to do. i think that a case can
be made that the lyrics indicate that killing the criminal is not the
right thing to do, but i cannot see how the opposite view can be
supported....

content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
i'm not looking to leap wholly into this discussion, but i would like to make the point that nearly everybody in this debate is treating the concept of 'politics' as if it were a separate entity from other bits of life. 'politics' are not in the least like cheese, a take-or-leave situation. politics are the decisions each and every day, made either by us, our leaders, or hopefully both, that impact our lives. whether we would like to be involved in organized politics with a capital p (or d or r or i or g) is our choice, but the idea that 'politics' are just another choice on the menu of conversation topics is false and dangerous.
ignorance or denial of this does not negate the truth of it. a salient example: whether you agree, disagree, or are even paying attention, you are most likely paying a significant sum of money for this war. last i heard, 75 billion dollars is what we're collectively putting towards it - each taxpayer a little bit of that money. that's 'politics', and it also is undeniably part of our lives. and that's the very least of it.
at any rate, i'm back to traveling to georgia to see the longleaf pines. i would suggest the book 'ecology of a cracker childhood' by janisse ray to anyone who wants to know more about the natural world of a&e's home state. or about how it was largely destroyed by the logging industry. whoops, i guess that's 'politics'. i better shut up now.
free speech to all, and to all, a good night.

my guess is that since the ig are very outspoken against the death penalty that this song is most certainly speaking out against the death penalty.

hi all,
don't know why i suddenly feel compelled to post about this, but hey i am.
i don't think that those of us who would like to leave politics off of this
list, are doing it because of ignorance or denial. i for listen to politics
and news on the war daily and like to come here to hear about music and the
indigo girls and maybe even learn of some new bands that i should give a
listen to. that is why i signed on here. i don't think i am being
presumptuous in saying that most of us are here for that reason. i
understand that when something big is going on in the world, there is bound
to be something said about it here and i just think that those who want to
discuss it in more detail could certainly take it to private email, that
doesn't seem like alot to ask. it is great to meet so many people that you
have so much in common with and that leads to discussion.
this is a nice refuge from other things going on in the world sometimes. i
would love to keep it that way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on another note. i have sent out the majority of b&ps & trades for the st.
louis pageant show, 02/12/03. i hope you all enjoy. if anyone is
interested in the show i am still taking trades and b&ps on it, just shoot
me an email privately.
also, is it true, we only have 454 subscribers? wasn't it almost double
that a few years ago?

here here!!! i cant stand it any more...don't let the music die! i just
want to hear a little more about the reviews of the shows lately.
being in ny, i hear there have been some wonderful shows lately, but we're
not hearing about them! i just got into ig this past year...no i wasnt
living under a rock, but my life was very complicated with a dying father,
girlfriend, and adopted grandparents. i am finally at a time in my life
where my responsibilities are lessening and i can live for me! imagine that!
now, i have been turned on to the wonderful world of ig, kristen hall,
michelle malone, wendy bucklew, jennifer nettles and other wonderful indie
artist...i want to learn more! please, let's talk a little more about the
music...as someone who lived thru 9/11 here in ny, i really can take any
more...

for or against the death penalty.>>
sure - it's a song about the person(s), it's not making a direct comment
about the death penalty.
when indigo girls sing it it's taken as an anti-death penalty song because
they're anti-death penalty, and because i'm sure that's how it was written.
if you look at it from the viewpoint of celebrating the execution and at the
same time being indifferent to her fate, the song takes on a whole new
meaning.
"you say you're reborn, but it's all just for scorn,
and that's what you'll take to the grave"
and whatever happens to her, she's doomed - "that's why killing don't pay"
it's a dark, dark song. i think it works both ways.

hkf's,
recently someone posted these lyrics from 'let it be me' a song i skip from time to time,(i blame proxemity to 'airplane' for that) but do love.
"well the world seems spent and the president has no good idea of who the masses are. well i'm one of them and i'm among friends, we're trying to see beyond the fences in our own back yards. i've seen the kingdoms blow like ashes in the winds of change, but the power of truth is the fuel for the
flame. so the darker the ages get, there's a stronger beacon yet....let it be me."
-emily saliers
well, as i read and re-read the words, the 1st line not withstanding, this song, is perfect for those who support the war and/or the troops.
i think seeing beyond the fences would have us seeing into the backyard of a neighbor who is doing some really, really bad stuff in their yard, and it's the truth of how wrong what they are doing that fules the flame for action against what is being done by my neighbor.
indeed america saw what was going on and said it needs to stop! so "let it be me"

i'm sorry, but joe asking the
question "are you pro war or opposed?" has nothing to do with indigo
girls. i think i read somewhere that amy ray likes cheddar cheese.
can i just find out right now, how many people are pro cheddar or
anti cheddar? i mean, amy has an opinion on it, can't we discuss it
here?
so then jason eats ritz crackers with war on top?
....i'm sure amy has an opinon about the war just as she does cheese.
did you make a point? or was it just a failed attempt to insult?
i hope america wins the mozellera against iraq

actually, i believe that ig has started singing "let it be me" at some of the
latest shows as a song for peace. i really don't see this song as a "support
the troops" type song. i see it as a call for peace type of a song. sorry.

"this is not a fighting song

i think that while the girls and the song are anti-death penalty, there's
more to it than that. i think it's an exploration of all the issues surrounding
the case and a critique of the people involved. the minister and the
governor each have their own advancement in mind and have forgotten
the person involved - this is why "killing don't pay" because either way
karla has lost determination over her life. and as far as "rise above just
being cruel" i think that alludes to the anti-death penalty sentiment that
when we kill murderers we are no better than they are.

but it doesn't mean they *aren't* experts, either. just because someone
is in front of a mic doesn't make them ignorant or stupid nor take away
the right to express their opinions. everyone has the ability to read and
be educated, even if they are famous. if you don't like the opinions
expressed, you don't have to buy the cd or attend the concert, like i was
saying before. even though people are saying that politics don't matter
to them when buying music, there sure does seem to be something important
there. otherwise, we wouldn't see posts like that above.
i have had this little newspaper clipping on my fridge for about three or
four years now. it has amy's picture and this quote, apropos here: "it
gets old to people, huh? they go, 'there's the indigo girls again. they
can't just do the music can they?' it's like we've got 'political
lesbians' stamped on our foreheads."
so for people who don't take politics into account when buying music, how
much money would an artist have to donate to a cause you disagreed with
before you stopped giving them money? just curious...

what a great nation to say nothing when saddam kills 5.000 kurds with
american delivered wmd. but wait back then he was the good guy and iran was
the bad guy.
if the us government indeed see beyond the fences they will see that they
destabilize a whole region, gives the terrorists more reason to hate the
western civilisation and brings former non-fumamentalists to terroristic
organisations. oh and how about rumsfeld being surprised that the iraqis
fight back????
the last war the us fought that brought peace was wwii.

sorry, but i disagree. i see the entire song as anti-war. even taken out of context, i can not see it the other way.
funny that y'all are bringing "let it be me" up... that happens to be the very song that i have quoted on my anti-war protest sign that i have had with me at all of the protests since september. ;)

it is really very simple.
only fools truly desire war. that does not change the fact that there are
times when people are forced into a situation where war is the desirable
solution. history has taught us that time and time again. diplomacy only
works when both sides are open to diplomatic agreements and solutions, and
as much as people might not want to admit it ... there is a time for war.
every person on this planet has a point at which they will make the decision
to either a) decide flatly to accept their fate without fighting back or b)
fight back. it's a fact of life, all life (not just humans).
the point people end up arguing over comes down simply to a matter of
degree. when does one decide to fight?
if someone gave you a verbal assault, would you fight back? even if it was
just a verbal assault back at them? if someone pushed you to the ground,
would you stand up and fight back? even if only to push them back? if
someone punched you squarely in the face, would you recover and fight back?
if someone came at you with a baseball bat, would you then fight back?
what would it take? would your life have to be on the line? would your
honor have to be on the line? what if it was your mate's life or honor? do
the same standards apply for both you *and* those you care about? what if
it was your son or daughter? what if it wasn't the first time it had
happened? suppose a recurring situation existed over time? would the same
single action trigger identical responses given the time and events
inbetween?
everyone has a point at which they will either give up or decide to fight
back.
in this case, the coalition decided that iraq was being unreasonable and
diplomacy had failed. they were in possession of facts which indicated to
them that war was the desirable solution in this case. the line was drawn
and they comitted themselves to that end. i do not for a second believe
that it was done due to president bush's whims or anything trivial. i
believe there are enough minds working on this that the solution was arrived
at through reason and not passion.
regardless, there's nothing to be done about it now. arguing, bickering,
debating, it's all fun and educational and enjoyable and whatever else you
want to ascribe to it, but in this venue it's also meaningless. nothing we
do or say here will change what's happening. and, in my experience, the ig
list contains many activists on a wide range of beliefs. we all cling to
what we want to from a&e.
the best thing i'm willing to do for our troops and our government is to
support them now, now that those in power have made their decision and the
war is a going concern. i could indicate my distaste for the war (if i felt
that way) and let my congressman know about my feelings, go to anti-war
rallies, etc., but i would still support our troops because i want them to
come home safely. they are, after all, americans just like many of us on
this list.
they are our brothers and sisters and neighbors and they deserve our full
support.

heyhey...
<<so for people who don't take politics into account when buying music, how
much money would an artist have to donate to a cause you disagreed with
before you stopped giving them money?>>
that's a bit of a loaded question - why not ask if i still beat my wife? :)
when i buy a cd or a concert ticket i'm paying for entertainment - nothing
more. if the artist happens to make me think it's always a welcome bonus. if
i want to use my money to make a political statement i'll give it directly
to the causes i support, cut out all the middlefolk and make more of a
difference.
what an artist chooses to do with their hard-earned income is really nothing
to do with me - similarly what i choose to spend my money on is nothing to
do with ~my~ employer. if the artist happens to be a raging nazi, chances
are it'll be more than apparent in their work and i'll not be entertained as
much in the first place.
if i had to agree with the all the personal/political views of the people in
my cd collection i wouldn't have any cds left!

a-ha! but this is the problem. the "coalition," unlike in '91, is a very,
very slight one. the vast majority of world opinion is against this us
invasion of iraq. we (the us) did not effectively build coalition or exhaust
diplomatic options.

absolutely agreed. i think one of the valuable lessons learned from vietnam
was to separate being anti-war from being unsupportive of the working people
in the military.

i don't agree, neil. like you, i go to hundreds of shows, and i have a cd
collection of 1600 (legit, not pirates). i certainly don't know everything
about everyone, but i am mindful of how i spend my money. i don't support
the stones or eminem or guns 'n roses, regardless of how talented they might
be.

hi :)
<<i don't agree, neil... i don't support the stones or eminem or guns 'n
roses, regardless of how talented they might be.>>
i think you're misunderstanding me - it's not a question of talent at all.
i'm guessing - at least in the case of eminem - that you just don't find
misogyny and homophobia entertaining. like i said, it's completely different
when a person's lifestyle is reflected in their work.
garian - and please correct me if i'm wrong on this - seems to be suggesting
that we shouldn't buy indigo girls cds or go to shows if we strongly
disagree with their decision to play the michican womyn's music festival. in
the same way garian doesn't buy cranberries cds because of their support for
rockforlife.org.
