Open thread for Sunday, March 15th: Psycho

 Here is the open thread for Sunday, March 15th. Please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues arise during the course of the day. Nothing is off-topic here.

 This week we covered 12 stories, did you miss any of them? If so there is an easy way to make sure it does not happen again. I understand that all of you are busy and cannot always find the time to check the blog for updates so why not subscribe to America’s Watchtower and receive email updates whenever I write a new post? That is the easiest way to follow the blog to ensure you never miss another post.

  In addition to subscribing you can also follow America’s Watchtower on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the links on the right. But you will get more than that for I often post links to articles I probably will not be writing about so it is a great way to keep up with what is happening.

  The Twitter widget in the sidebar is fully interactive. This widget updates my tweets in real time and allows you to respond to or retweet my tweets right from the blog. It also allows you to tweet me right from America’s Watchtower. How cool is that! If you do not have a Twitter account what better reason do you need to sign up for one!?

  Now on to the musical selection of the week. As many of you probably know The Cure is my all time favorite band while Muse is my favorite band which is currently active. I had intended to post a video by The Cure this week but two days ago my son informed me that Muse was set to release a new album in June so I have changed my mind.

  Muse can be a very political band at times and lead singer and songwriter Matt Bellamy is a self-proclaimed left-leaning libertarian who often writes about government control and the conspiracies–such as the New World Order, HAARP, the Illuminati. In fact the album “The Resistance” has a 1984 feel to it and includes the brilliant track “The United States of Eurasia.”

  Muse’s new album is sure not to disappoint, here is his description of the forthcoming work which is going to be entitled “Drones”: “To me, drones are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behavior with no recourse,” he says. “The world is run by drones utilizing drones to turn us all into drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.”

 Sounds pretty interesting to me, I cannot wait for June 8th! Muse released a video for one of the songs and so I thought I would share it with you. It is entitled “Psycho” and although I do not like the anti-military theme to this song it probably sets up the rest of the album and it is still a pretty good song.

Please be advised that there are several F-Bombs in this song.
