"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" a Song by Gil Scott Heron - However, It Is Already being YouTubed, TikToked, FaceBorged... ETC...

https://youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?si=SAwRlpZFzcNgODL4

Lyrics: You will not be able to stay home, brother You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and Skip out for beer during commercials Because the revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In four parts without commercial interruptions The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell General Abrams and Spiro Agnew To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal The revolution will not get rid of the nubs The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner Because the revolution will not be televised, brother There will be no pictures of you and Willie May Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 Or report from 29 districts The revolution will not be televised There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Brothers on the instant replay There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Brothers on the instant replay There will be no pictures of Whitney Young Being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process There will be no slow motion or still lives of Roy Wilkens Strolling through Watts in a red, black and green Liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction Will no longer be so damned relevant And women will not care if Dick finally got down with Jane On "Search for Tomorrow" because black people Will be in the street looking for a brighter day The revolution will not be televised There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news And no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists And Jackie Onassis blowing her nose The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb Or Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink or the Rare Earth The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be right back After a message about a white tornado, white lightning or white people You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom The tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl The revolution will not go better with Coke The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath The revolution will put you in the driver's seat The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised Will not be televised, will not be televised The revolution will be no re-run, brothers The revolution will be live

Mad Magazine - a Major Part of Baby Boomer Childhoods! Don Martin Cartoons, Spy vs Spy... and The Satire of Classic Poetry and Tales... Like: Jabber-Whacky

I saw Plans for building a TV Commercial Silencer in Mad... I took Apart my Parent's TV and Installed a Switch on a Long Wire... Without Breaking the TV or Getting Electrocuted... and We Enjoyed Silence During TV Commercials for Years... Nowadays, Every remote has a MUTE Button... But Mad Magazine was Way Ahead of Its Time... With a DIY Plans Cartoon... I've Never Been Able to Find a Copy of those Plans... If you HAVE Them... Email Me: gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com  or Leave a Comment Below!

Don Martin Cartoon - In the Operating Room

Classic Poetry Satire!

On Dreaming, After Falling Asleep Watching TV

'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves,
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves
And in a Minute Maid.

"Beware the Station-Break, my son,
The voice that lulls, the ads that vex!
Beware the Doctors Claim, and shun
That horror called Brand-X!"

He took his Q-Tip'd swab in hand;
Long time the Tension Headache fought--
So Dristan he by a Mercury,
And Bayer-break'd in thought.

And as in Bufferin Gulf he stood
The Station-Break, with Rise of Tame,
Came Wisking through the Pride-hazed wood,
And Creme-Rinsed as it came!

Buy one! Buy two! We're almost through!
The Q-Tip'd Dash went Spic and Span!
He Tide Air-Wick, and with Bisquick
Went Aero-Waxing Ban.

"And hast thou Dreft the Station-Break?
Ajax the Breck, Excedrin boy!
Oh, Fab wash day, Cashmere Bouquet!"
He Handi-Wrapped in Joy.

'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.

At first glance, a person would think that this is a Pink Floyd lyric... but... What if the person that did the graffiti was actually asking God to Grant a wish? Did they realize that at the time I took the photograph I was actually there right then?

And God has granted His Wish!

Paris Left Bank Literary Promenade – Tracking The Lost Generation

https://www.parisinsidersguide.com/paris-left-bank-literary-promenade.html

They changed modern literature. Lost Generation writers like Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, George Orwell, and even William Faulkner flocked to Paris after World War I, lured by cheap accommodation, free-flowing alcohol, and a booming artistic scene. Let's follow in their footsteps on a Paris promenade to visit the apartments, hotels, restaurants, and bars they frequented and where they helped to create the Left Bank literary scene.

The only Time I Speak of France is When I Hashtag the Start Date of the Revolution: #France1789 

La seule fois où je parle de la France, c'est quand je hashtag la date de début de la révolution : #France1789

 J'écris rarement sur la France... Sauf quand j'admire la Révolution française et la solution guillotine à la guerre des classes... Nous avons un problème de guerre des classes ici aux États-Unis... Les milliardaires achètent des sénateurs, des membres du Congrès et des gouverneurs - et la seule tâche pour les dirigeants "élus", c'est PLUS de réductions d'impôts pour les riches... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I Rarely Write about France... Except when I admire the French Revolution and the Guillotine Solution to Class War... We Have a Class War Problem here in the USA... Billionaires BUY Senators and Congressmen and Governors - and The Only Task for the "Elected" Leaders is MORE Tax Cuts for the Rich... More Federal Subsidies and Fewer IRS Audits... 

TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!
