Rock 'n Roll Fantasy - The Kinks

Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be
Isn't it strange, we never changed
We've been through it all yet we're still the same
And I know it's a miracle we still go, and for all we know
We might still have a way to go

Hello me, hello you, you say you want out
Want to start anew, throw in your hand
Break up the band, start a new life, be a new man
But for all we know, we might still have a way to go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know

There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down he puts some rock 'n' roll on
And it makes him feel alright
And when he feels the world is closing in
He turns his stereo way up high

He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

Look at me, look at you
You say we've got nothing left to prove
The King is dead, rock is done
You might be through but I've just begun
I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know

Dan is a fan and he lives for our music
It's the only thing that gets him by
He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows
He's seen us low and he's seen us high
Oh, but you and me keep thinking
That the world's just passing us by

Don't want to spend my life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
Don't want to spend my life living on the edge of reality
Don't want to waste my life hiding away anymore
Don't want to spend my life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

Misfits - The Kinks


You've been sleeping in a field but you look real rested
You set out to outrage but you can't get arrested
You say your image is new, but it looks well tested
You're lost without a crowd yet you go your own way

You say your summer has gone
Now the Winter is crawlin' in
They say that even in your day
Somehow you never could quite fit in
Though it's cold outside
I know the Summer's gonna come again
Because you know what they say
Every dog has his day

You're a misfit, afraid of yourself, so you run away and hide
You've been a misfit all your life
Why don't you join the crowd
And come inside
You wander round this town like you've lost your way
You had your chance in your day
Yet you threw it all away
But you know what they say
Every dog has his day

Look at all the losers and the mad eyed gazers
Look at all the looneys and the sad eyed failures
They're giving up living 'cos they just don't care
So take a good look around
The misfits are everywhere
La la la la la la

You're a misfit
Afraid of yourself so you run away and hide
You've been a misfit all your life
But why don't you join the crowd and come inside
You wander round this town
Like you've lost your way
You had your chance in your day
Yet you threw it all away
Now you're lost in the crowd
Yet, still go your own way

This is your chance, this is your time
So don't throw it away
You can have your day
Yes it's true what they say
Every dog has his day

[1978, Misfits LP, The Kinks]

Not Promised Tomorrow


Stuck Mojo strikes again, this time slamming us against the wall with a powerful anthemic revelation called "(Because You're Not) Not Promised Tomorrow". Thrashing, growling, rhythmic, a cathy tune that sticks in the head after a dozen listens. Vocals are delivered in an old school early 90s hip hop rant, punctuated in the chorus by the background growls reminiscent of Oi but updated to mimic the bellows of death metal. Word. Another screaming comes the sky...

Stuck Mojo Declares Open Season Against CAIR


Enough said. The is an enhanced edit of the band's original video everyone has been talking about since its release early in the year. This one is known as the CAIR remix. The Council of American Islamic Relations has been linked to terrorist organizations, but still remains free to spread its apologetics across American media outlets, including Saudi-influenced Fox News. As more and more dots are connected, however, by government agencies and the general public's mind, groups like CAIR should thankfully begin to lose their propaganda perch and toe-hold in the main stream media.

Here's a link to the original "Open Season" video. Be warned of the explicit visual content unsuitable for some.
