Clearing the Airwaves

Clearing the Airwaves
Where have I been for the last twenty-four hours? I've been at home, working on a new recording.

Why do we let our media lie to the world about talent? They wouldn't let them get away with that in Russia. They don't call that newspaper 'Truth' for nothing. In Russia the media are only allowed to lie about the government's achievements, not about the achievements of artists. And they wouldn't waste any time pulling bad shows off the air. Dateline Moscow was raided a while ago. Their studio was surrounded and attacked with smoke bombs and Katyusha rockets. Authorities terminated all the network offenders in one operation. Machine gun bursts ruptured the night. The next day, there were new faces on every channel of the TV and no one knew the difference. Why can't we do that?

And I think that eighteen is old enough for capital punishment. Once you're eighteen, you should know the difference between right and wrong. Too late for that 'I didn't know what I was doing!' routine. I know it seems like a waste with so many years in front of them but the law is the law.
