Think J. would be irritated??

[Shackleford]

So i’ve recently picked up Free So Free. Obviously picked up on the "freedom" concept right away (I got smarts real good). Then I read a few articles and "got" what the whole "freedom" concept was, and how it related to 9/11. Did not shock me in the slightest, J’s take.

Now….without getting into a pissing match, I completely disagree with J’s sentiments in regards to freedom. You could consider me a proud flag-waver. When I’m cruising in my pickup listening to all the freedom references, I connect them with much different scenarios which allows me to hear the songs as very pro-flag-waving-USA’er.

I dig #7. U-S-A.

Think J would be bummed?

definitely sounds like something J would say

[Shackleford]

You don’t even think i’d get a "huh…i’ll be damned"??

[Mattman]

Nah, there are waaay too many words in that sentence.

[Shackleford]

Sludge….to be honest, I haven’t really followed J for a while. I was a few weeks late picking up "Free" I think. After listening to the CD a couple of times, I kept thinking "Is he playing the same song?? Is my CD player f’ed up??" Then, I read one article, and only one, where J mentioned feeling like his freedoms were gone. Personally, I don’t feel that way at all (then again, i’m far away from the northeast, where i’m sure heightened security can feel very restricting). I feel my freedoms taken away when I strive to make a better salary, and then get rewarded by higher and higher taxes.

I play golf though. And I know J. likes golf.

what’s the patriot act

[rambleon]

thanks for that deepsludge …

pretty scary stuff though …

[bigperm]

Its his opinion.

I think if J really cared that much about how people interpereted his lyrics/songs he’d include a little book preaching his outlooks with his album Also, doesn’t the whole freedom thing have something to do with his newfound passion for skydiving?

just found all this stuff on the patriot act here http://www.bostonphoenix.com/pages/hotpatriot.asp … glad to see that so many americans are against it + are exercising their democratic right to express their dissatisfaction … also glad to see that the boston phoenix took the time to put all the info together on one page

i don’t really agree with J or shackleford. I guess i just don’t know enough about whats going on with the government to like it or feel threatened by it. maybe if i ever went to airports or watched TV i would feel differently..

It must feel terrible for an American to realize that its not all liberty and freedom in the states.

[rambleon]

it’s not all liberty + freedom anywhere …

[Aatos]

…But many people think so.
