The Reverend Double J: Music

Farewell And Goodbye

(J.J. Vicars)
Words & music by J.J. Vicars (c)2007 Gypsytattunes BMI
A pile-driving fuck-you-if-you-don't-like-it hard rocker that rails against the phony inhumanity that has overtaken so much of America; suburbs, strip malls, theme restaraunts and all the other trappings of an overly safe, isolated, pathetically bland and spiritually empty existence are unapologetically targeted as the source of discontent and alienation. "An artist's job is to realize the world as he see it not reform it as he knows it," wrote Oscar Wilde and this is what was seen in the Heartland- a shallow and empty way of life that robbed the country of its culture and the people of their humanity.
"The hero is the one who asserts his humanity in the face of the machine," wrote Joseph Cambell.
