Prophetic Prophecy?

One of the greatest punk bands after the pistols split and the clash crossed the water to play 4 us here in the US, The Ruts were intelligent and edgy and good (my cousins from Jersey introduced me to all these bands, including my favorite, Adam and The Ants).

I'm listening to Babylon's Burning while making a chocolate fondue for my children's breakfast (shhhh, don't tell their mother).

They go back today so I say, "Send 'em back wired!".

But it hit me how prophetic this band was. Today Baghdad is burning, which is a short 80 km from Babylon. 80 km is only.....ummm..about...let's see, how many miles would that be? Well it doesn't matter. American ignorance is part of our culture. We don't know metric.

But Babylon is short for Bavel, which means confusion. And 2,600 years later, confusion reigns today.

No I am not a Bush basher. It is ridiculous to think that one person runs our country, his cabinet does. Bush Jr just needs a secretary of state like his father had, James Baker.

Lets hope this war fortunately lasts as short as The Ruts unfortunately did, when lead singer Malcolm died of a heroin overdose (started using again after his wife left him).

Ahhhh, some women are wonderful, passionate and powerful.........others are wicked, pathetic and poisonous.
