"There's no such thing as a whole story; every story is incomplete."



"Real change will come when people take direct action."

Howard Zinn, an author, teacher and political activist passed away on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack while travelling with his daughter, Myla Kabat-Zinn, in Santa Monica, California. He was 87. Zinn is best known for writing A People's History of the United States, his 1980 non-fiction book which details the lives of ordinary people who fought for social change in America.

Una perfecta desconocida

Rita Calypso (Ana Laan)era una perfecta desconocida sin embargo ahora tenemos de ella material suficiente. Una muy agradable versión de Paper Mache, la canción de Burt Bacharach, que fue conocida en la voz de Dionne Warwick.*



Rita Calypso
Paper Mache

Twenty houses in a row:
Eighty people watch a TV show.
Paper people, cardboard dreams,
how unreal the whole world seems...

Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat.
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away.
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet.

Ice cream cones and candy bars,
swings, and things like bicycles and cars...
There's a sale on happiness:
You buy two, and it costs less.

Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat.
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away.
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet.

Read the papers.Keep aware
while you're lounging in your leather chair.
And if things don't look so good,
shake your head and knock on wood.

Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat.
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away.
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet,

like paper mache
