Court of the Crimson King,

Court of the Crimson King, yes! with lasting thanks to Fripp, Giles, Lake, McDonald, Sinfield:

The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun.
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the crimson king.

The keeper of the city keys
Puts shutters on the dreams.
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes.
The black queen chants the funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king.

The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower.
I chase the wind of a prison ship,
To taste the sweet and sour.
The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
The orchestra begin;
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king.

On soft grey mornings widows cry,
The wise men share a joke.
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax.
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king.

Rather a throwaway during

Rather a throwaway during Paul's descent into vapid rhymey dimey stuff like Another Day and then the brutal Wings Wild life. More impressive is Baby Blue and the seminal Without You. http://youtu.be/C53QAuOoSgc https://youtu.be/_bQGRRolrg0 Of course at the same time there was Tommy, Space Oddity, Let It Bleed, Electric Ladyland, Court of the Crimson King, 3 by Fairport Convention and Led Zep I & II.

I appreciate these comments.

I appreciate these comments. I'm mildly familiar with all this stuff - I saw the Monkees movie Head when I was a teen. Psychodelia was popular back then.

Re: The Magic Christian ... Paul McCartney wrote the best known song from the soundtrack, Come and Get It, which he gave to a group on the Apple label. Badfinger. The group basically just imitated McCartney's demo which was later released on the Beatles' Anthology album.

Trump reminds me of a movie from 1969, The Magic Christian, that starred Peter Sellers and Ringo Star. It was a satire on the rich, greed, human egos and capitalism. Trump is really exposing these traits in the GOP in some what entertaining way. The Magic Christian is a ocean liner.

I had a hard time picking a clip because several them remind me of the GOP. I like the one were they go bird hunting and one of them has artillery hidden to shoot the birds. GOP is always trying to make war. I settled on this that was at the end of the movie. Free Money. It shows how people are willing to swim through stinky crap for free money. That is what Trump is exposing all the stinky crap in the party.

You can see the full movie here. It has a great sound track.
