I always love a little bluegrass.

This video has made the social media rounds over the past few weeks so there is a good chance you may have already seen it. If you haven’t, it is well worth the watch. Physical injuries and death are not the only consequences of war.
Blessed are the Landmines
by Brave Saint Saturn
Blessed are the land-mines
Stretched across the desert floor
God, bless the hands that formed them
Filled their shrapnel hearts with war
May You bless the companies
The goose that laid the golden egg
May they make a million more
Blowing off a million legs
Blessed are the black-tongued ravens
Substituting fear for reason
To hate war is to hate us
If you love peace, then you must love treason
Beat your plowshares into swords
Beat your pulpits, turn your tables
Blessed are the hand-grenades
Bless the church who rattles sabers
This house, is burning
This poison still is worming
This temple, will cave in
There’s nothing here worth saving
Nail the gold up to the altar
Like Ahab taunts his crew to war
Blessed are the shareholders
Lack of faith is for the poor
Hold your wallets to the sky
A temple built to sooth yourself
Blessed is the church who tries
To help you build blessed wealth
I hope to be just as feisty, determined, and dedicated when I get old.
I’ve featured my friend George Griffin on here before, but he has really outdone himself this time. He was part of the crew that made this new Rend Collective Experiment music video who just happen to be one of my favourite bands.
I love it when my friends get up to rad things!
My friend Dave put this together a few years back and I just found out he won a competition with it. Way to go Dave!
I love when a band covers a song, but manages to make it completely their own.
