Shut 'Um Down

400 Years

400 years (400 years, 400 years)
Of the same philosophy
400 years (400 years, 400 years)
And, the people, they still can't see

Why do they fight against
The youth of today?
And without youths
You'd be gone, all gone astray

Come on! Let's make a move
(Make a move, make a move)
Now that the time, the time has come
Fools don't see (Fools don't see, fools don't see)
But I know, the weak is strong

This World

"Government leaving the youth on the shelf"

"You Can't Blame the Youth; You Can't Fool the Youth"

You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth
(Of today)
You can't fool the youth

You're teachin' youths to learn in school
That cow jump over moon
You're teachin' youths to learn in school
That the dish ran away with spoon

So you can't blame the youths
(When they don't learn)
You can't fool the youths
(Can't fool the youth)
You can't blame the youth
(Of today)
You can't fool the youth

You teach the youth about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youth about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man

So you can't blame the youths
(Of today)
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths

All these great men were doin'
Robbin', rapin', kidnappin' and killin'
So called great men were doin'
Robbin', rapin', kidnappin'

So you can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youth
(None at all)
You can't fool the youth

When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a pretty toy gun
When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a fancy toy gun

So you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youths

But what was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Is now revealed to the babes and the sucklin's
What was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Now revealed to the babes and the sucklin'

Lord, call upon the youth
'Cause He know the youth is strong
Jah, Jah, call upon the youths
'Cause He know the youth is strong

So you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth
(Save the children)
You can't fool the youth

Don't blame them, not their fault

Peter Tosh (1977)

9/21 - another run in the sky

Aright, sportsfans. I’d meant to get this posted earlier, but here it is now, all the same. (As though there were anyone reading this blog to get the word out to.)

Anyways.

Once again, it’s time for another wonderful long-ass run across the Skyline Drive. This year we’re looking at 40 miles. Here are the details.

Saturday, September 21 (officially still summer, fools!)

Start time: ~8 am

Course: Beginning at the top of Fairview Canyon, across the Skyline Drive (30 miles), and then down Ephraim Canyon (last 10 or so miles). This is level overall with some rolling hills and then down the canyon, mostly on improved dirt road at around 10,000 feet elevation.

Cost: None; free.

Also: There will be a couple food/drink caches, as well as some mobile support, along the way.

Also, also: You’re welcome to run, walk, bike, relay, whatever, all or any part of it as you like. No hurry. We can take all day. Hit me up here with any questions.

And here’s a link to a map where you can really zoom in on the course. Hope you can join us.

September comes around
