Leary's snitching also formed some of the best lines in the very funny Alabama 3 song "Ain't Goin' To Goa" (1997) found at

http://www.elemental.music.co.uk/alabama3/goa.htm.

I guess Alabama 3 (releases in the U.S. on Geffen Records unfortunately had to use the name A3) never caught on because of their heavily layered irony but I thought it was great music, very funny, and damn good politics.

Peace,

Jim

It seems to me that you're scared to take power, even over your own lives, let alone working towards a society where wage slavery, exploitation and war are not the norm."
