    "Idolatry of Ideology". Always relevant, I'm afraid. Thanks Bruce, for telling us the way it truly is!!

    Bruce is one of those rare birds who really sinks his teeth deep into the truth. Some people need to be scared. Real scared. Incompetence, inadequacy and bad intentions must not be ignored or accepted. Evil is as evil does and Bruce Cockburn has been exposing it for decades.

    I've listened to Bruce, well, since the beginning and maybe I should have said this a long time ago. If Bruce is a good representation of Canada and Canadians (which I believe he is) YOU GUYS ROCK! Expertly played smart rock, rock with an IQ, what a concept.

    • @USCHO67
      @USCHO67 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Canadian musicians occupy much of my favorite music . . . and some of them I didn't even know were Canadian until I found out later. Yes, I like Bruce here, but also The Guess Who, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, the Stampeders, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Crash Test Dummies, BTO, etc. And I always tend to forget to name a few.

    The biggest problem is that we have all been trained since birth to believe that Canada and the united States is a democracy. This is a half truth. Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy and the united States is a Republic where each individual can be free. The definition of free is to be under no legal restraint. The form of government each country has is a democracy. The government was never to interfere with the people, their rights or their property. If you are not a legal person, then you must figure out why the democracy (babylon) has control over you. You can not be seen as one of God's people if you have consented to be governed by a foreign jurisdiction.

    This fantastic Bruce Cockburn song is more relevant today than ever. Perhaps the best lyric ever written to sum up the world we are part of .And of course so few people even know it exists as it goes completely against he mainstream narrative .
    Now we have Mr Trump leader of the free democratic world [my ass], more like front man for the Mega industrial/Big Business corporation monster. The system is truly the beast .Lots of love from the Tripzville Godz check out our track "System is the beast" here on youtube.
