The Peaceful Rebel

[John]

So...When will the mp3 be available? 

This ain't about me or my song - though I'm very happy if it works.

The song (it's just another love song) was written for (and in support of) my friends (and their families) who are willing to walk the walk & willing "to take it to the street." 
It was played "live"  in Keene just hours after the tune was written.

If it helped to calm/comfort/and or lift a few hearts and minds in the middle of this/our summer storm, then it has been played where most apropriate.

My songs are few and-far-between.  If any of my songs are recorded any time soon, it can be by anyone who wants to do so.

I hope to be playing "The Peaceful Rebel" again - on the street - next Thursday in Concord.  You might hear it then -     Please support Russell there. Join us and feel Free to record me if I/you can make it.

You may even get to hear another song which is not yet complete.

PLEASE - SUPPORT RUSSELL!

If anyone wants to hear and/or record it before then, I am willing to travel to Dover to play it outside the prison on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Wednesday.

I might even play it outside the prison on Thursday morning before they transport our friend ("The Peaceful Rebel") to Concord for sentencing.

Anyone want to do sunrise in Dover on Thursday?

The new verses:

In a Prison in New London as the sun moves through the sky
Another sits in a PRISON, and her friends are asking "why"
The Pfizer corporation wanted homes wich was not their's
So the polititions stole them, and the judges didn't care

In that PRISON in New London as the moon moves through the sky
That they can do this to us, might make you want to cry
If they keep her there forever - we know she will not speak
Lauren sits in silence - as a voice spoke for the meek

Oh...where does that fit in the whole song?

Oh...where does that fit in the whole song?

It's still prety flexible at this point (I tend to play/create my songs as the moment/spirit moves me) . . . When I was playing it in front of the New London Superior Court I put it at the begining quite a few times (particularly when someone stopped to listen) But if someone where listening in the middle, I would make sure to shift to these verses right away, sometimes repeating these verses. . . and I kept trying to refine it . . . It was not 'till later, when Jim and I met with one of his freinds, that I decided to specifical mention Pfizer.
I still have "a bit" more inside on this, which when it comes out may cause the song to turn into two seperate songs . . .
