"Agreeing with John"

Two Dogs wrote these words after watching the documentary "The U.S. vs. John Lennon". He wanted me to share them with you:

When silence is sickening
It’s time to scream
When words are not heard
It’s time to lean
Not to the left
Not to the right
Do not lose your legs
For there is no one else’s might
When you scream and scream
And you are still not heard
It’s time to pick up guitars
And gather the herd
And give peace a chance.

The piece is called "Agreeing with John." I agree, too.

  1. Jennie,

    Tell 2 dogs that he is my favorite poet.

    I have been listening to 'An Honest Measure' for a dishonest amount of time. I think maybe the bits are gonna wear out.

    I can hardly wait for the official release so that I can write a full review of the whole album. Suffice it to say that there are parts that move me to tears even though I have heard them over and over.

    2dogs and I have had our issues in the past, but I have never changed my opinion of him as a fantastically gifted songwriter.

    Please pass these comments along to him 4 me.

  2. Dear Dave,

    Two Dogs got the message, and he is mighty appreciative. That's what his music is for -- it's his communication.
