QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:
"For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of 'brainwashing under freedom' to which we are subjected and in which all too often we serve as unwilling instruments." Noam Chomsky

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem.": Howard Zinn, from 'Failure to Quit'

"With numbing regularity good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe. Men who are in everyday life responsible and decent were seduced by the trappings of authority, by the control of their perceptions, and by the uncritical acceptance of the experimenter's definition of the situation, into performing harsh acts. A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority" Stanley Milgram, 1965

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any "conspiracy theory of history"; for a search for "conspiracies" means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds. - Furthermore, an attack on "conspiracy theories" means that the subjects will become more gullible in believing the "general welfare" reasons that are always put forth by the State for engaging in any of its despotic actions. A "conspiracy theory" can unsettle the system by causing the public to doubt the State's ideological propaganda." Professor Murray N. Rothbard -

"The three aims of the tyrant are, one, the humiliation of his subjects; he knows that a mean-spirited man will not conspire against anybody; two, the creation of mistrust among them; for a tyrant is not to be overthrown until men begin to have confidence in one another -- and this is the reason why tyrants are at war with the good; they are under the idea that their power is endangered by them, not only because they will not be ruled despotically, but also because they are too loyal to one another and to other men, and do not inform against one another or against other men -- three, the tyrant desires that all his subjects shall be incapable of action, for no one attempts what is impossible and they will not attempt to overthrow a tyranny if they are powerless." Aristotle

BECK TALKS ABOUT HIS GIGS WITH CLAPTON
On their recent show in New York City, two of the greatest living guitarists. Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck each played their own set before taking the stage together at Madison Square Garden. The two have scheduled just a handful of performances across the globe, marking the first time in 40 years that they’ve played together like this. Jeff told us why that is the case.
(Cut #1) “It seems to be, duh, obvious, why didn’t we do it before, but Eric is strictly blues and strictly his audience and I never thought the twain should meet somehow, I really didn’t. Although we occupy certain areas of guitar, you know, blues oriented guitar, we shouldn’t ever do this. There was no necessity or inbuilt desire for either of us to do it but promoters see it different and I think Joe Blow public would probably like to see that anyway.”
Beck went on to describe what fans can expect at the shows he plays with Clapton.
(Cut #2) “You can’t expect a chemistry that will send a new rocket up to Mars because that’s what we are, there will be a disparate style and the closest we can dovetail is the set that I do with Eric. I have to put another hat on for his set, completely, otherwise I’d look stupid standing up playing high tech noise over his songs and vice-versa, blues over my stuff. So I’m more of a sideman to Eric than a main, featured guest. I just sit and play the best I can on his song.”

I don’t know. And then I realized that the reason why I didn’t want to use it was because John passed away and suddenly I had that block, you know.”
