If you haven’t heard already...well I am truly stoked at the fact we have been included in the film the Age of Stupid.
Honestly, this film is some serious sh*t!!! As much as I want to shun the real world and act as irresponsibly as possible at any given time, this, my friends, is a much deeper issue and it affects every single one of us.. For those of you in the younger generation, well sorry guys, but this is an issue that is going to affect you even more so, and I truely apologise for making this world so f**ked up that you lot have to take up the mantle to fix it. Well, actually we ALL need to step up to the challenge otherwise we leave behind a world of sh*t for those coming after us.
I have a nearly 4 year old daughter and a 3 month old son, so I at least owe it to them to not just try, but actually DO my bit where I can.
Global Warming friends, is FACT! If Sir David Attenborough and Prof. Stephen Hawking tell me so, then who the f**k are we to argue, and 99% of scientists are pretty damn sure it’s caused by us. Watch the Age of Stupid and get yourself educated if you are still in the dark about what it entails, as it also outlines possible solutions.
People, THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW!!!! We have to educate each other and make this moment OUR defining moment as humanity.
Recognise our mistakes and start correcting them.
If you have recycle bins, use them.
If can walk/cycle to school/work then do it – plus it’ll make your flabby self a leaner and meaner machine for slamming in the those circle pits right?
Drink cider NOT beer...cider is WAY more eco-friendly to produce than beer – and that my friends is FACT.
Don’t drink bottled water. What the f**k is the matter with the stuff from the tap? NOTHING and it’s FREE.
Wear those shoes ‘til your feet are showing through the bottom, wear those T-shirts until they look like they’ve got hot-rock burns down the front – you’ll look way cooler for it anyway.
Turn your computer off at night. If you’re downloading, then turn your monitor off – PROPERLY off.
Y’all mostly dark mofos anyway so I guess I don’t need to tell you to turn lights off when you leave a room cos you probably don’t have any lightbulbs in your house anyway.
Yes folks it’s all these small things that if we ALL start doing them, they WILL make a difference.
In a nutshell – this all points to the fact we have to stop being horrible, wasteful beings. Look after the place we live in as we’re only borrowing it for the time we’re here.
The metal community is one of the strongest and friendly out there and past experiences have always shown me that we know how to look after each other.
I remember a Sick Of It All gig, at the now defunct Islington Powerhaus, where I got my first stage dives in, and how people would pull me up every time I hit the deck and check I was OK.
Such friendliness amidst the chaos of a mosh pit. Awesome.
That was camaraderie I will never forget, and the likes I have never seen in any other music community. So let’s stretch that a little wider.
And if you think, well shut the f**k up P cos you sound like you’re f**king Bono, well look at this way – if it all does go to hell, at least I can look my kids in the eye and say ‘I f**king tried’.
Can you?
UncP.
