Lisa. Beautiful inside & out. And it looks like progressively political too if the act & the actual person aren't too far removed.
Social-democratic Canada might be America's last best hope. Barring a completion of the American Revolution from below.
Not to say they don't have enough troubles of their own up north (where on this Earth is there no trouble?), but they appear to know how to deal with it.
Another kind of sensibility. More European. They've no trouble speaking French either. Fugging Freedom Fries...Remember yer President George Dubya? Where's he hiding these days? The only problem there is, history will treat him better than he deserves. A hundred years from now when there's finally--maybe--peace progress prosperity & democracy in the Mideast, Bush will be cited as the one who had the "courage" to send in the troops & save the world for the Corporate Militarists (e.g. the Carlyle Group), Big Oil, the Saudi Royals & other great hogs & cannibals of this planet.
Anyway, its good to see that Lisa & her group are on top of things. On top being the operative phrase...
Subtlety of lyric is an art not always appreciated by the untutored masses. But this is music, after all. Not flicking propaganda.
From the Muse. Truth & Beauty (see John Keats). What its all about. Heeding the Goddess. And Lisa, one of Her high priestesses.
I am but a humble devotee.

Very cool. Very collected. Very connected.
Rip the Universe
What day is it today?
Feels like a Monday, yeah
And things are awfully strange
When the streetlights are all on at noon
Another day is somehow lit by a full moon
As curious as it seems
As curious as it seems
I still smile while enjoying the scene
What is everyone gonna do
When everyone has to choose
Soon I'll rip the universe in two
One for me and one for you
What day is it today?
Feels much like Sunday, yeah yeah
And everyone is kinda lazy
When it's time to kiss the lady
But it's not the end and the beginning lately
No, all these fantastic toys
Leave these boys sadly unemployed
And what is everyone gonna do
When everyone has to choose
Soon I'll rip the universe in two
One for me and one for you
No, all these fantastic toys
Leave these boys sadly unemployed
No, all these fantastic toys
Leave these boys sadly unemployed
No, all these fantastic toys
Leave these boys (leave these boys)
Sadly unemployed (sadly unemployed)
Sadly unemployed (sadly unemployed)
Sadly unemployed
