The East is Red.

Here's a lovely ditty about Chairman Mao, and probably some other stuff. No wait, I looked it up, and it's just about Chairman Mao.

Here, you can sort of sing along in the wrong language:
The east is red, the sun is rising
China has brought forth a Mao Zedong.
He works for the people's welfare.
Hurrah, He is the people's great savior.
Chairman Mao loves the people,
He is our guide,
To build a new China,
Hurrah, he leads us forward!
The Communist Party is like the sun,
Wherever it shines, it is bright.
Wherever there is a Communist Party,
Hurrah, there the people are liberated!
Why do I post this? Coz my friend Bryna (some of you know her) just sent me a bitchin little greeting card from China. She's stuck in some kind of quarantine, and her neighbor was playing that song over and over, and wanted me to share in the experience.
Hence, she wrote the URL in the card so I could listen to it while I read what she wrote.
Bryna is pretty rad.
I thought the song was pretty interesting.
And besides, we're terrorists, and we needed some propaganda on our page that is antithetical to our established cultural norms, so there you go.
