Michael Moore Unveils The Nightwatchman

Tom Morello's acoustic folk protest alter-ego, The Nightwatchman, will release his first album, "One Man Revolution," on April 24th. The video for the first single, "The Road I Must Travel," made it's online debut on documentary filmmaker Michael Moore's official website this week. Peep it here. But if you're like me and you can't quite make out the quotes, you can view a larger version of the vid here.

And since we're all about the acoustic, folk, protest, anti-right (and alter-egos) here on AtD, though not so much radical socialism either (sorry Che Guevara fans), let's do some lyrics (courtesy of Mr. Morello himself):

Well I climbed the seven summits
And I swam the seven seas
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I fought in the jungles
And I fought in the streets
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Once I had a reason
Don't know what it could be
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

I walked the empty desert
And I was burned in the heat
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I crossed the frozen wasteland
And in the bitter cold did freeze
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will knock on every door
For I do not have a key
And the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

They shot a man in Soho
Couldn't guess his age
I found his empty journal
I filled up every page
I called up my state senator
They said he wasn't there
The secretary took my name
And man she sounded scared
So I counted my misfortunes
I added up the blame
I picked through all the garbage
I checked off all the names
I read in the newspaper
They'd questioned all my friends
They hoped that they could find me
Before I struck again
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

So when thirsty I will drink
When hungry I will steal
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So tonight I walk in anger
With worn shoes on my feet
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will sing to myself
That I'm gonna be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

There's a sign along the highway
But it's too dark now to read
Check out more tunes, tour dates, and a whole lot more at the official Nightwatchman site.

More Than Music, and By That I Mean Sex

Escape to a land without authority figures dragging you down. A world where you can be with who you want, they way you want, and when you want. Music can take you there, whether via Neo-soul and R&B artist Maxwell

and his seductively smooth sounds,









or country music siren Faith Hill

and her sweet and innocent melodies.

M usic let's your imagination roam free. When you are listening to music there is no need for you to be ashamed or scared of sexuality as it is out there. Some of us have trouble talking about sex, but singing about sex, that makes it so much easier.


"Let's talk about sex, baby, let's talk about you and me" - Salt-n-Peppa

We tend to be reserved about sex and nudity. I would argue that this topic, along with death
and those feelings associated with
loss, are the two most taboo subjects in our society today. We need not be ashamed
of our bodies. Every time we let the "ethical" end of corporations sideline a song,
we let them win. We should not censor bands nor should we prevent or discourage our friends and relatives from joining them. People can join bands to express themselves better or they could just join a band to get laid. We all have needs, after all.

In fact, in the Pussycat Dolls' recent reality show, one of the challenges was to show that you have confidence in yourself by dancing in a box for seedy old men. Not exactly what most people think rock stars should do.
