Termite TV - Life Stories

Okay. Yeah, I guess start out in Kindergarten. I went through that okay. Then I guess first grade I ran into a teach who was kind of more authoritarian. And I guess I'd have done better with a more brother and sisterly type of approach. So I guess I didn't pass and she used to kind of put signs on us that said baby and paddle us in front of the class. So I guess she was more, came from a time that was more authoritarian. So I guess I was a little bit, I guess somehow it left me scarred but I've come to terms with it now. And I guess I kind of, that was a good thing that came out of the sixties, I left those kind of authoritarian ways behind. That was a good thing that came outta the sixties. I guess when I got in high school I went to, I lived in Australia, I lived there for three years. They're kind of like , it's very unionized there. I guess at the same time we're in, in this country we had Reagan and Bush. So I kind of went from a worker's paradise kind of back to slave shop conditions. It kind of really did, in some places it got like the very greedy and the very needy, two classes of people. Like... what's his name... I forgot his name, he's in Flashback. He kind of like... It wasn't Kevin Bacon, I guess he said that too. Two classes of people, the very needy and the very greedy. So I went from a worker's paradise to kind of sweat shops. SO I've kinda been a believer, a strong believer in the New Deal so I guess I always vote Democratic 'cause I feel like they feel for the working class. I guess the people really in general with less opportunity. So, I guess you could describe people of less opportunity in a broad number of ways. SO that's kind of good, it kind of gives everyone an opportunity 'cause we never know then, we might be doing well now but we never know when we might have a problem later. So I guess the class system doesn't really work, cause the class system kind of puts other people out to pasture so it's better to have an opportunity. I kind of believe more of a worker's unite and that kind of gives everybody a chance. And good education and good healthcare and in the long run it'll mean fewer welfare cases if we have good education and good healthcare. It costs the... it brings up hospital costs more if a homeless person goes into the ER, it's higher costs and high hospital cost, they gotta raise the cost of the hospital every time someone that can't afford to pay has to go into the emergency room. So I believe that, nationalized healthcare can't be bad. You gotta do away with the class system, it gives everybody a chance. I guess we could be doing well now, but we never know when we might come on hard times in the future. So what else... I'm not very good at this, I'm not as good at this as some people can be. (You're doing good.) Thank you. See what else I'm gonna say... I'm just amazed, I think a lot of things have changed. I guess a lot of things since the birth of rock and roll has brought a lot of positive social change. I guess it is rebellion, but I guess the thing is really that are the people they're rebelling against any better or worse than the people that are rebelling. An establishment that's in control you wonder if they're any better in control to judge and call the rebels rebels. My theory is I guess, my parent kind of grew up with the World War 2 generation is that they just get jealous that they didn't think of it first. They didn't think of rock and roll first and they just get jealous. They weren't listening to Spinal Tap in the forties.
