Hark to the Buddha... Baby!

Hark! Hark! The Newsboy's Dead- A lazy man's song for the animal rights activist in you? Or an honest man's anguished soul searching in a crushing world of information overload and moral ambiguity?

I'm just a man of virtue
I'm just a victim of circumstance
cirmcumstance
Not circumcision
got them in this condition
The cattle all have guilty consciences
trapped themselves in a razor wire fence

This song starts on quiet drums and a guitar line that quickly changes up to put some of the wet and sideways into the groove. Everything else comes right along with it. The Buddha All-Stars fill up your ears and settle in at the top of your spine for the rest of this track; a straight ahead rock groove, not afraid to get down and invite you to play in the dirt.

Hand-picked to lead off the Buddha Listening List.

Lest we forget, we are the cattle. And the cattle are we.

So Hark! Hark! The Newsboys Dead
The cadillac ran over his head
And no one got their papers today.

Who was driving the cadillac? What do the cattle have to do with this ? Besides I just don't have the time.
