Fleet Foxes - Your Protector
Here we are. The last day of the AP Fall Ball, bus idling outside of the Alter Bar in Pittsburgh, PA., reflecting upon tours of old and the culmination of the current one. We’ve met some people on the tour that have become close friends over the past 9 1/2 weeks (Mickey Rourke & Kim Basinger anyone?). We’d like to thank You Me at Six, Secret Handshake, Set Your Goals, Mayday Parade and all the crew on the tour, we had some good times; particularly last night, from which every last one of us have hangovers.
Now to the song! Here is a very good song from a very good band; FLEET FOXES, from their self titled album. Listen loud, listen close. Enjoy and Discuss.
Somebody get me a bloody mary…
10-Year-Old Who Refuses to Say 'Pledge of Allegiance' Until Gays Have Full Equality
Last week I mentioned Will Phillips, the 10-year-old Arkansan who has refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance until gays and lesbians have equal rights. CNN’s John Roberts asks Phillips why the issue is so important to him.
Says Phillips: “Because I have many — I’ve grown up with a lot of people and good friends with a lot of people that are gay and I really — I think they should have the rights all people should. And I’m not going to swear that they do.”
Roberts also asks Phillips what he said to the teacher after refusing to say the Pledge.
Said Phillips: “I eventually, very solemnly, with a little bit of malice in my voice, said, ‘Ma’am with all due respect, you can go jump off a bridge.’”
Phillips says that since taking a stand he has been repeatedly called a “gay-wad” by other students, which he calls a “discriminatory name for homosexuals.” [via.]
What a great kid.
