“Sometimes, at a precise moment in history, all it takes is for one person to stand up. Or sit down.”

Never Forget – Niemals Vergessen
Posted in Austria, Gestapo, Memorial, Monument, Photograph, Vienna, peace, photo, war on September 18, 2008 by Jersey Guy
Monument memorializing the victims of the Gestapo. Vienna, Austria.
“Never Forget / Niemals vergessen – The headquarters of the Gestapo stood here. For those who believed in Austria, it was the entrance to Hell. It sank in ruins like the Thousand-year Reich, but Austria was resurrected and with her, our dead, the immortal victims.”
A reminder of how fast things can change.

The Power and The Glory
Posted in Phil Ochs with tags The Power And The Glory on December 24, 2007 by Jersey GuyFood for thought for this holiday season. Phil Ochs was one of, if not the, best, one of the most perceptive and one of the most vibrant of the 60s protest singers. Virtually all of his lyrics still ring true today. He committed suicide in 1976 in part because he was “no longer relevant.” What a tragic misconception. Phil Ochs is probably more relevant today than ever. To wit:
Phil Ochs – The Power And The Glory
Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land
Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand
Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains
Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain
Here is a land full of power and glory
Beauty that words cannot recall
Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom
Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)
From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas too
Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new
Texas and Ohio and the California shore
Tell me, who could ask for more?
Yet she’s only as rich as the poorest of her poor
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
Only as strong as our love for this land
Only as tall as we stand
Happy Holidays everyone!
JG.
