Time for another Star Wars book! This is a rather wonky book, with political planning and action being the primary focus. Mon Mothma tries to build a coalition against the emperor, Bail Organa looks for evidence suppoorting the innocence of the Jedi, while Saw Guererra seeks the weapons cache of the broken Separatists.
One thing I didn't mention is how important Padme Amidala's memory is to both Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. At imes they'd reach a breaking point, but then stick together to honor the political vision of Padme, as well as their shared friendship. Those are beautiful but sad moments.
The Left Hand Of Darkness is today's science fiction masterpiece, by Ursula K. LeGuin.
While her books have spaceships and stuff, her real alternative worlds are more about alternate social makeups. In this book, Genly Ai, a male human, lands on a planet of adrogynous people who only show maleness or femaleness during "kemmer", each individual's mating time.
Today we review two graphic novels featuring Superman. But in both, he goes a little crazy with power, eventually becoming the bad guy. Power corrupts, absolute power... yadda yadda yadda.
Listen up. But also, I encourage others to play it too. I wanna see a million covers of this. Or write your own!
Yes, I published this a couple years ago, but it was less urgent than. Here we are again...
But keep the message simple: Nazis are BAD. (Duh!)
For musicians, here are the lyricds and chords:
Nazis Are Bad
E D A E D A, E A D A
We seem to have reached a time
When Nazis seem alright -- they're not
Nazis are bad, Nazis are bad
Nazis are bad, Nazis are bad
Nazis are bad
When skinheads speak their minds
It's up to us to decide
Is what they say shit or is it legit?
Some have been had, some think it's a fad
Nazis are bad
So you thought you'd stick with the guy
Who sticks his gun in everyone's eye
Fascists decide to give it a try
Italy tried, lots of men died
Nazis are bad
Solo Break
We need to take a stand to keep free our land
We don't need more hate to make this place great
We need to be kind, keeping in mind
Nazis are bad
We seem to have reached a time
When Nazis seem alright -- they're not
Nazis are bad, Nazis are bad
Nazis are bad, Nazis are bad
Nazis are bad
