Probably a legacy of that failed front we tried in the '80s, Canadian Crooners for Communism.When she sings about the Power of Love, she of course really means the power of an organised working class forgng its own destiny. I mean, it's obvious once you know:

We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love

shes a very misunderstood and unfairly maligned woman, sister Celine .

The correct title is The Power Of "Love" - Obviously there are too many syllables in "The Power Of Communism - A Hammer Which We Use To Crush The Enemy", so during performances she finds a way to impart the tune's true spirit without fucking up the melody. Sometimes it's a wink, sometimes a barely perceptible raised finger, sometimes a wry lipcurl and so on. Victory to Mao Tseline Dion thought.

for some reason i keep thinking "intersectionality - young and warm and wild and free"

Surely that's the youth wing?

Im certainly glad someone else noticed . The first 30 seconds of this cip is just full of such symbolism . The burning red revolutionary background ,the mimicking of a female viet cong unblocking a jammed kalashnikov ,the defiant clenched fist thrust aloft, followed off as she comes down the stairs by a symbolic walk that symbolises kicking capitalist dogs in the face .
Then in a clear statement of solidarity with the oppressed she does a duet with a transgendered gentleman .



heady stuff

Not just unjamming it, she's disassembling it, cleaning it and putting it back together with one hand.

The other big CCC hit was of course Bruce Cockburn's "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" - even on a straight reading probably his most angry ditty, but when you realise the rocket he'd launch would be carrying the workers' bomb, the payload rises into megatonnage, baby.

Does that mean someone's posted a link on there then?

 

[frogwoman]

SpineyNorman Yeah it does - it's had loads of views this week and I've just looked and someone seems to have started a thread on there about Bilderberg and someone linked to my blog

Questionable line on the key issue i'm afraid- stop the war indeed!

Error at the banner printers.

It should say

War!

Ie, drop everything, it's war time

We have a conspiraloon - and a live one at that it seems - commenting on the Syria and Lebanon intersectionality blog post, he wants to speak to Stalin's love child (seriously) about Bilderberg.

Anyone fancy a bit of fun?

I'm having a little bit of fun with them....if you're interested.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice
