My Sweet Lord / Knocking On Heaven's Door -- A Hybrid (Capitalism On The Precipice)

This is a song for the summer -- A "chill-out" hybrid (or "medley" one might say"? ) of two rock anthems. Apart from being a rather classic romp, there is a serious undertone: It's a critique of capitalism and focuses initially on the misery of foreclosure / repossession in this age of crooked and hypocritical banks -- Human nature you might say, but blame is firmly placed at the feet of capitalism. Here, it is not an individual knocking on heaven's door, or needing the Lord's compassion; it is Capitalism itself (on the precipice of extinction) <br /><br />Many thanks to the thoughts of the esteemed leading social theorist, David Harvey; an individual whose help is not appreciated enough in these all too revealing and disappointing times. <br /><br />Much respect to George Harrison (R.I.P.) and Bob Dylan -- I hope they will forgive me for putting their tunes in the Dave Butcher "blender" -- I like to think that such earthly and humanitarian icons would be with me on my mission at least, and their music so well conveyed that. <br /><br />So, lay back in your deck-chair with iced lemonade in hand - soaking up the summer, and "go with the flow"
