Who runs Philip K Dicks myspace? The man has been gone for over twenty years. Maybe...just maybe, it is he himself who does it.

Hey all - check out the following rant - which I have written.

HUMANITY 101

Welcome to the party… but don’t be a smarty
Open yo’ ears & open yo’ mind…
It’s a revolution, of a brand new kind
Go find the blind an’ force ‘em to see
Trouble’s bein’ brewed
And we’re all gettin’ screwed
Hippittie-hoppittie there
Goes yo’ poppy… he’s
Votin’ for G-Dubbya,
Man we’re all in trouble’ya:
Gotta talk, you gotta scream:
“What happened to the dream???!!!”
The world of Bush’s sequel
Makes us ALL so unequal
People bein’ killed for defendin’
They homes, my friends &
Family all hearin’ me moan
Just seein’ me groan at all
The injustice, the world
Doesn’t trust us!
We Voted Bush in, that
Makes us responsible…
Fo’ the lives bein’ lost
The families bein’ tossed
Right into the street
Right under a bomb!
Go tell your Mom!
That her country is a sheet
Of Red, White, & Blue
That’s tied around her eyes
Our planes fill the skies
Oh yabba-dabba-dabba
So much propaganda
Runnin’ through the picket lines
Tryin’ hard to scream my rhymes
It’s like this: I…….
Love my country…
And I love my family…
But I also…
Really love humanity
Big & Small, short and tall
AREN’T WE ALL…
ON THIS SMALL
Little blue planet, carin’
‘bout the same things…
givin’ our women rings-
Don’t we all
Want to see
Our children grow
Up to be… somethin’
More than what we are
Gazin’ at a brighter star…

I wanted to say thank you for making the movie. Everyone associated with it is simply "the shit" in my book.
I got the DVD for Christmas, and have introduced at least a dozen people to it thus far. I'll keep up my end, just keep making movies that stir the human spirit and enliven the imagination.

*ROCK ON*

Man I can't wait for A Scanner Darkly to come out! Thanks for adding me, here's a little ditty I wrote about the truth.

Awaken brothers.... and get up all my sisters...
I need to know the truth: and I’m haunted all day long
I’ve got to know the reasons: the why and the how
and I’ve gotta know right now!
I walk around all day – hypnotized and desensitized
Programmed not to wonder - why I hardly feel a thing
I feel like poison I’m so angry, like I’m killing my own soul.
Whenever I try to tell the truth, defiant daytime blindness is what
you are crushing me with stealing my breath and wasting my time
Yet the truth is all I have, clinging to it’s fire though it burns............
If there’s no air - then there’s no flame, it’s your ignorance and shame,
it’s you that is to blame.. for smothering this fire!
And drowning out desire in the hearts of young and old
And hey – listen up now... if I may be so bold –
let us, for just once now, see something but green gold.
there’s power in the water, and power in the sky, let’s not give another cent
to that oil barron guy.

-Chorus-

It’s time now, to stop your worryin’,
‘cause it really won’t get you anywhere...
No no no... it’s like a rockin’ chair....
Your mind is so active yet you’re pacified,
crippled or ripped your mind is stripped
Your consciousness taken – crushed and then shaken
A black hole of worry inexorably pulling
and you’ll never go anywhere, yeah, we’ll never go anywhere



I have some truths to tell, yeah, if you want so bad to know
So hard to show... and hard to see or tell, what separates this life...
From Heaven or Hell. But the truth is right there. It’s everywhere.
You feel it every day, checkin’ your speed - and checkin’ your mirror
Obeying your creeds, and drinkin’ your beer,
The truth is I feel small, and I feel that my wall – is getting bigger
It’s this wall that separates me – from everything I love.
It’s this wall that separates me – from everything I hate.
It’s this wall that confines me – holding my broken heart - holding my broken mind.
It’s the truth that will save you, and the truth that’ll set you free!
I told my Momma one day... it’s like Jesus said, yeah... it’s like Jesus said-
I come to bring division, I come to bring war, fathers bark and bore, pushing more against their sons. Peace is so contagious,
and we can win this war - yeah, ‘cause it’s a war for your heart, yeah, a war for your soul.

Repeat Chorus



But it must be done, and God it is so hard. To live a life all the way, through the pain of love. Always at your own expense.
But what do we live for? Yeah, what do we live for?
Who is your Cesar? And who is your God? Who is your Christ, yeah, to whom do you nod?
Do you know at all? It’s not stuff and it’s not the oil.
It’s not the car that takes you - or the clothes that make you. It’s not the speeches,
it’s not the rhymes, it comes down to the love or hate, – the contribution that you make.
These words I scream, you need not fear. The power will be shaken, I’ll cut their claws and take them. This message must stop you and drop you and rock you,
this shit has to hit you and wake you up good - force you to see what you don't want to see:
that we are not free, not you and not me. I want you to feel it, this fire inside me
I'm angry and burning to pieces just yearning to save one more baby or Uncle or Mom –
and I’ll speak and I’ll wreak havoc and grief. I’ll shake an earthquake,
and destroy the bombs that keep us enslaved and keep us afraid. I’ll bring this fire to King George.
He lied to his people to take them to war. The only reason we have this fake king, is
Darth Cheney is worse. I think I saw him drivin' a hearse...
Stick to that Darth Cheney MAN! Stop this evil push and shove, don't muck up and fuck up this world I love!


End chorus:

Now it’s time, for you people, yeah it’s time to stop worryin’. Be not afraid, stand up and fight. You ARE right. Now stand up and fight.

It’s time now, to stop your worryin’,
‘cause it really won’t get you anywhere...
No no no... it’s like a rockin’ chair....
Your mind is so active yet you’re pacified,
crippled or ripped your mind is stripped
Your consciousness taken – crushed and then shaken
A black hole of worry inexorably pulling
and you’ll never go anywhere, yeah, we’ll never go anywhere

Quick Q for you.
So Phil wrote the book based on friends he had who were good people? The just made a few mistakes that cost them painfully. Did Bob ever end up remebering anything or was it all for nothing in the end?

Most likely this is a server run kinda site so i get it if theres no response.

Just curious.

Bob,
Brad.
