On one of them, Bill was ranting like he seemed to want to atom bomb
someone - anyone - particularly if there were more anthrax cases.
It seemed to me to be the stupidest thing he's ever said on his show.
He wants to drop an atom bomb on some caves in mountain country? What
does he expect to achieve? First of all, the blast would be contained
by the mountains and would do little damage. Second, the fallout would
drift across Pakistan and India.
Can anyone really be so stupid as to want to drop atom bombs because
they feel a need for revenge? I guess Bill can.

Are you a cop? Freddie Mercury called; he wants his mustache back.
David,
I think he was frightened by that public thrashing he got, and that's
what made him so bitter. Some of the things he's saying are just plain
stupid. There's no other word for it.
And he keeps ranting about how anti-American "nearly all" of the Islamic
world is - because he sees the demonstrations on CNN. He doesn't seem
to realize that those demonstrators are well organized by bin Laden
agents and represent only a tiny fraction of the population in any given
place.
All these anthrax "cases" seem to be hitting people on the "left". When
the source is eventually tracked down, I won't be surprised if it turns
out some far-right kook is behind it. There are a lot of
survivalist-types who have wet dreams about the world falling apart
while they survive in their bunkers in Montana. They'll do all they can
to generate additional fears and hatreds at times like this.

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

You note the way he can generate a whole solo out of one note. The man
has serious musical talent.
