re: #73 William Barnett-Lewis

Everything you say is true, my to my disgust. However, the majority of the schism between Roman and the Orthodox churches had long before been done by the Filoque controversy en.wikipedia.org leading to schism in 1054. The damage done by the 1204 rampage in Constantinople was just more of the same hateful greed, violence and ignorance that was the
whole of the crusades in a nutshell.

William, your post reminded me of something. I’ve posted I was raised and schooled 12 years as a Catholic. I used to have an alternative-rock, all originals band back in ‘83 named in reference to Martin Luther’s works.

95 Posters.

No one ever figured out where it came from. 3 of us were Catholic school boy classmates. It fit us.

We had a cool song that left a lot of people stunned when ever we played it. Who’ll Bomb Beirut Today? I don’t know if the way we played it left them stunned, the content…or we sucked. I don’t think we sucked, but our words were not your ordinary lyrics.

And the song was full of the keyboardist doing high key combo organ notes that reflected Middle Eastern music, with the bass player doing slides into big bass chords like bombs, me on drums doing machine gun snare work along with the guitarist.

We broke up shortly after playing it out a couple times, so we never got it recorded in any form. Damn, what I would give to hear that again today.
