[Music] Catchy Revolt
I saw Colour Revolt for the first time at The Joint on July 7. The last band to take the stage, they played a killer mini-set to a packed room that undoubtedly turned some new fans. The show revealed a band playing like a band, a set of independents bent to the holistic end. Bassist Drew Mellon and guitarist Jimmy Cajoleas thrashed and swayed on the far rights and lefts of the stage, grinning at the most deafening sections of the songs. Guitarists/vocalists Jesse Coppenbarger and Sean Kirkpatrick sang in the middle as if to center the group, and drummer Len Clark expertly knocked away behind it all. Each song pulled you in with Coppenbarger's lulled, earthy vocals and then shot back with a booming crash.
Gay Marriage
October 28, 2004 With countries such as Spain and many others making gay marriage legal, is it time that America takes the same step? That question has made gay marriage and civil unions the hot-button wedge issue of the 2004 election. Some analysts say Sen. John Kerry's reference in the last debate to Mary Cheney—the vice president's openly lesbian daughter—hurt him in the polls. Kerry's exact words were: "If you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as. If you talk to anybody, it's not choice. I've met people who struggled with this for years, people in a marriage and they struggled with it. I've met wives supportive of their husbands or vice versa when they finally broke out and allowed themselves to live who they were, who they felt God had made them. We have to respect that." Kerry proponents, and many homosexuals, point out that the only way one can view his answer as bad or offensive is if the person finds homosexuality to be bad or offensive.
