Secret Service cracks down on Dylan covers

These days, covering "Masters of War" merits a visit from the Secret
Service. I have to admit that "Coalition of the Willing" IS a lot
better name than "Tali-Banned," though.

BOULDER - Two secret service agents paid a visit to Boulder High School
Thursday to investigate rumors that a high school band had been
practicing a song that contained lyrics threatening President Bush.

hmmm.... a band called 'talibanned' sings the following lyrics....
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
I'd say that merits a little investigation..... a full on secret service
visit? i dunno... but colorado is probably on the hotlist after columbine.
cheers!

Oh for fuck's sake, it's a BOB DYLAN song. If you don't take the lyrics
out of context, it's perfectly clear that no one intends to assassinate
anyone:
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

the secret service visit anyone they consider to be an 'indirect' threat to
the president as well.... for example... if i wrote the president that they
should free hinckley... hand him an ak-47... and put him in a presidential
motorcade... that would be viewed as a threat against the president...
as i stated previously... colorado probably has a hotlist on it after
columbine... it could also be that the kids in question had uncles/fathers
who were in the military, owned a weapons store, had belonged to the black
panthers, had advocated violent overthrow of the government in the 60s....
we are seeing the story out of context.... there are a number of reasons
that the secret service could have been twigged... somehow I seriously doubt
it was just the words to the song.... probably more like the song... the
images of bush (maybe altered?)... and the background of some of the band
members... the secret service doesn't LIKE to go out to buttfuck, colorado
when they can be kickin' back watchin' football and drinkin' beer in denver.
cheers!

Yes, they got a bunch of calls from the usual bluehaired 'concerned
citizens'.
