The Days of my life

A few people, who i know and who occasionally happen to stumble upon my stupid, sometimes radical and most times self-indulgent and politically incorrect posts couldn't help but ask me about the new profile pic that i have put up. So here is to all of you devout readers, the pic is a album cover of a band that used to play, sadly they have broken up now :(. And my obsession with their music has been shown in this space before. This was their debut in mainstream music and they later on influenced and paved the way for much lesser acts like Korn, Limp Bizkit and of late, Linkin Park, LP though, have different influences as well. Heck, i sound like a overpaid editor from rollingstone, so back to the point

The picture, like many others, speaks a few words, in this case, however the number is closer to a million than a thousand !!!!!! A photo of Thích Quang Ðuc, a Buddhist monk who burnt himself to death as a protest against Vietnamese Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem's administration's practices against the Buddhist religion, features on the cover of the first Rage Against the Machine album. Sadly that is the name of the game these days, where people still die in the name of religion and something called as 'god'. Im not a KAAFIR , though, and i do believe in a higher powe, sadly i think, too many people go about religion in a wrong way.

Back to the post, since most of u wud knw by now, this is mostly a result of boredom as i have to leave and i dont have anything better to kill time, so i sit here and listen to, yes, you guessed it, RATM, and of course the song is one of great choice and prudence, and above all, real relevance, its called killing in the name....

Do check out their music, may not be very Sureela , if you have a liking for Jagjit singh and his likes (not that they are bad), but does make for good listening and a strong message. Sadly, inspite of being monarchists, ooops, marxists, they managed to sell a few records and fill up their pockets, but it was all for a good cause, wasn't it?
