It is not my usual practice to show enthusiasm for Democratic presidential candidates, but still, this campaign is a veritable rainbow in the darkness of American politics.

    Dio for America: "The Mob Rules."

  2. jf   22 years ago

    Rainbow's Stargazer reads like a fable on the folly of big government programs. Perhaps he has libertarian leanings...

    Stargazer
    ----------
    High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
    Nine years worth of breakin' my back
    There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
    See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?
    Oh I see his face!

    Where is your star?
    Is it far, is it far, is it far?
    When do we leave?
    I believe, yes, I believe

    In the heat and the rain
    With the whips and chains
    To see him fly
    So many die
    We built a tower of stone
    With our flesh and bone
    Just to see him fly
    But don't know why
    Now where do we go?

    Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
    We feel that our time has arrived
    The world spins, while we put his dream together
    A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
    Oh I see his face!

    Where is your star?
    Is it far, is it far, is it far?
    When do we leave?
    Hey, I believe, I believe

    In the heat and the rain
    With the whips and chains
    Just to see him fly
    Too many die
    We built a tower of stone
    With our flesh and bone
    To see him fly
    But we don't know why
    Ooh, now where do we go

    All eyes see the figure of the wizard
    As he climbs to the top of the world
    No sound, as he falls instead of rising
    Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
    Oh I see his face!

    Where was your star?
    Was it far, was it far
    When did we leave?
    We believed, we believed, we believed

    continues...

    This is as good as any stump speech I've heard:

    I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel
    I can roll, I can feel
    And you can't stop me turning
    'Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
    I can move, I can run
    But you'll never stop me burning

    * Come down with fire
    Lift my spirit higher
    Someone's screaming my name
    Come and make me holy again
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the man on the silver mountain

    I'm the day, I'm the day
    I can show you the way
    And look I'm right beside you
    I'm the night, I'm the night
    I'm the dark and the light
    With eyes that see inside you

    * x 2

    Just look at me and listen
    I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
    Come down with fire
    Lift my spirit higher
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the night the light
    The black and the white
    The man on the silver mountain

  4. ron   22 years ago

    I know who I'm wasting my vote on this year!

  5. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    Oh crap, I think I spilled some bong water.

  6. Professor Jim   22 years ago

    Dio Rules. Maybe he'll rename the White House "The Temple of the King."

  7. Joe Majsterski   22 years ago

    I'll vote for him just because I could sure use a "get one free for every 10 stomach pumps" punch card.

  8. dj of raleigh   22 years ago

    This thread should be of interest to those supporters
    who plan to contribute & vote for this candidate.

  9. MK   22 years ago

    FUCK YEAH, DIO IN '04!!!

    Holy Diver
    You've been down too long in the midnight sea
    Oh what's becoming of me
    Ride the tiger
    You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
    Oh don't you see what I mean

  10. nobody   22 years ago

    I liked the first Elf album.
    Did he do something after that?

  11. MALAK   22 years ago

    At least the inaugural 'ball' would be a hot ticket again . . .

  12. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    Ralph Stanley for President!

  13. Geotech   22 years ago
