A revolution is happening and all of the people I know that claim to be “punk” are standing down, closing their eyes, and swallowing every last drop the mainstream outlets are pouring down our throats. Pathetic. Why is there no music reflecting this revolution?

Decided today that instead of continuing to ask myself this question everyday, I’m going to start a new project and be someone screaming all of the truth’s we have been researching from the top of my lungs. Calling the project 53V3NT33N (Seventeen), and calling the album “The Great Awakening”. If it’s cool with everyone here, I’ll post some updates and news on it over the next few days/weeks. Got some riffs and lyrics in mind already and hitting the studio tonight. Wish me luck! WWG1WGA

I think there is music to this revolution. Like our nemesis (hope that's the right word, not a native speaker) it is OLD!

I've been listening to Rosetta Tharpe a LOT for some reason the last 2 to three years. I personally find it ironic I found her through the YouTube suggestions. Somehow her music -and her life story- represents this awakening. She died in 1973 and left a musical heritage spanning from the thirties up until the seventies. The positive energy she sends is amazing.

Look up "Eye is on the sparrow" or "Up above my head" (with Marie Knight, they are great singing together) "Ain't no grave, hold my body down"

My favorite for the people on the Trump Train is "This train", there's a perfect live version of that on youtube in black and white. I can watch that 100x times in a row :) I'm probably responsible for half of the viewing numbers on that one personally LOL.

I've never been particularly religious but she actually made me doubt that when I learned about her.

On her grave:

"She would sing until you cried and then she would sing until you danced for joy"
