Comment:

First of all, A very Happy New Year to all my friends on AOTM. The last year has been a richly rewarding time for me, and not just in a musical sense, but also the friends I have made thru this site have made my life all the better. So, thanks all! This is a punky mix. That seems to be the flavour of the moment on AOTM. Some well-known, and some a little more obscure. I don't make any apologies for the anti-war stance. I am not in ANY WAY anti-American, or indeed anti-anynationality. I am anti-war and pro peace. I don't want to see one human being killed to make anyone rich. The people who wage war for profits have lost their humanity and it's up to anyone worldwide with a social conscience to stop this abomination. They should be feeding, clothing and educating people around the world with the hideously large amounts of money spent on arms. The first track says it all, and the last track is the way it can be. Peace, Love, Happiness to everyone in 2003.

Happy New Year to you, Gerry. I agree, but I'll take you one further: threatening war is terrorism. Let's hope they come to their senses...oh, and I love the Rage, Kennedys and especially the Crass choices. Peace.

You should send this mix to Dubya. Maybe he would get something out of it.

Perfect start to the year Gerry. Love the SY and Jam picks especially. If only the beating of these drums could drown out the war drums...

Testify! this rocks Gerry. I'd take you up on the c.d. burner offer but you'd probably have to buy me a new computer so it would handle it.

Love the Rage track. And I definately agree about war. If Sadam's such a problem, just send over some good snipers. Or maybe a suicidal person with a bomb strapped to him. It's better than having a few thousand soldiers killed.

i think this is a well put together mix, but i can't say i agree with your sentiments (i'm in the minority on this message board i think.) unfortunately people have to die to pave the way to "peace"...our grandfathers and great grandfathers gave their lives for the "peace" we enjoy today. new generations have to step up to the plate if we want our kids and grandchildren to live in freedom. we can't just ignore bad people who possess the means to destroy us (and they're out there.)

great mix, gerry. happy new year to you, too. you know, as much as i hate the thought of war, there is some truth in what brave little toaster says. for example, if america got rid of its nukes, most likely iraq (or n. korea, etc.) would use the fact that they're nuke free and nuke the hell outta them. in perth, their protesting the fact that the american soldiers are on a r&r tour here, thus, perth is a potential terrorist target - but it is anyway, as are all western nations, really. anyway, let's hope for peace.

who are the bad people? Bush and Blair must top the list. They sold the arms to the "bad guys". Bush and Blair also choose to ignore many other dictators who have appalling human rights records, as long as they are on the side of US/UK it doesn't matter what they do to their own people. Just because the US/UK may have "Fought the good fight" against Nazism in the second world war does not forgive them for the appalling mess they have left behind in every other country they have plundered and annexed in times before and since.

I hear what you're saying Toaster and Sue, but it's got nothing to do with "Fighting the good fight". That's what they want people to think. It's all about getting their hands on oil for the west. I just hate to see people losing their lives over money. Believe me, that's what it's all about.

Awesome mix. That's the beauty of this country... the ability to speak out knowing you're free to do so. I can't say I agree with your war stance, but it makes me proud to be an American to know that you're able to express it however you want. Bravo!

the war on terrorism is just the new war on communism. same faceless enemy, same strategic positioning of super powers and vassal states, same endorsing of GOOD dictators...it makes me sick. yup. nice mix, yet again.
