sound bites

All the turmoil in North Africa, what is it good for? Soundbite, it has a melody. Tell me what is it good for?

I always thought it was the goodlife in North Africa. But why did all the people from there come to Europe in the sixties, seventies and eighties?
We had of course, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Ike & Tina Turner, the Ramones, or on way to the disco era.



Of course they came here for the music. We all go where the music is.
We all come to churches where the music is. We come to the popconcerts where the music is.
So now we have to go to North Africa where the music is. But who cancelled our flights to where the music is?
Aren't we allowed by our own Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hear the sound of music in the streets of Tunis and Cairo?

You really should watch this Antwerp flash mob video..... we only need music to be happy.
But it's a shame that a company is behind it. It's not original anymore.

If I have this thought and let it apply on the situation in Egypt, then it isn't really the voice of the people but the voice of the movement behind it. Nevertheless such huge organized protests must have organisers. Hopefully the organisers do what is in the interest of the people of Egypt.
