Thanks to all the posts helping me to move out of the selfish thought sta=
ge. I just caught the news today(12/3) on this great list. But I'm stil=
l somewhat thinking selfishly...
I am a marathon runner(did 5 this year). Oil music on my portable mp3 ha=
s gotten me through many long training runs. New Oil music will be misse=
d. =20
Over a decade ago,I read an article in Nat. Geographic on Australia which=
included a short blip on the Oils and immediately purchased D&D as the a=
rticle mentioned their huge popularity in Australia. My wife and I freak=
ed on the music and purchased their entire collection shortly thereafter =
and all subsequent releases on their day of release. =20
I have an Environmental Science degrees and oil lyrics grabbed me first.
I want to thank every person on this planet that has been responsible for=
the music that is played on radio air waves that have chosen to play Oil=
music throughout the band's entire career to help spread their meaning/m=
essages. You have helped to bring great music and great meaning to many =
lives.
I want to say F - You to every irresponsible radio play decision =
makers who have overlooked the Oils in the U.S. for the past 25 years. =20
I am a prayerful person and am saying prayers of thanks for Midnight Oil.=
For their past and for their future contribution, impact on this planet=
.
Midnight Oil have called for action from each and every person who listen=
s to their words.
Whatever music may come in the future, I pray that it has a message. =20
(Last selfish thought)Because for me a band can have an awesome sound bu=
t if the lyrics mean shit I'll boycott.
When I see concrete I think Oils. When I see litter I think Oils. When =
I think of keeping my country clean I think Oils. To keep Midnight Oil a=
live is to live our lives akin to nature and other persons.
I must not be selfish when thinking about Midnight Oil but rather dwell o=
n how unselfish and giving of themselves they have been and will continue=
to be to the planet and its peoples with their music and their actions.
Thanks.
Tim G.
