More From Roman Jakobson

It is fear which leads us to war, ... it is fear which leads us to believe that we must kill or be killed. fear which leads us to attack those who have not attacked us. fear which leads us to ring our nation in the very heavens with weapons of mass destruction.
War Believe Mass Destruction
The civil war defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things... it was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads.
War Hell Crossroads
How many crossroads are you allowed to have in life? i seem to have a lot of crossroads. i think maybe i crossed back across the same road too often.
Thinking Crossroads Seems
I can remember how i sang - a little more nasal-y back then. listening to those old recordings is like seeing a photograph of yourself from 10 years ago. you're wearing what you thought looked cool at the time. you had your hair styled the particular way you thought looked cool. it's an accurate depiction of who you were and what you looked and sounded like at that point in your life. it doesn't necessarily mean that it aged in a way that it feels as cool or sounds as good to you, or says what you thought it said, 10 years later. that's just the nature of growing older.
Mean Listening Remember
I got this big fear of doing smoking jokes in my act and showing up five years from now goin' [puts mic to his neck and speaks as if he had a mechanical larynx] 'good evening everybody, remember me, smoking's bad. [puts cigarette to neck and mimics smoking it] eeww. you ever seen somebody do that? i've seen someone do that. let me tell you something — if you're smoking out of a hole in your neck [mimics it again] i'd think about quitting. and that's just me, ya know.
Thinking Years Smoking
Confined on the ship, from which there is no escape, the madman is delivered to the river with its thousand arms, the sea with its thousand roads, to that great uncertainty external to everything. he is a prisoner in the midst of what is the freest, the openest of routes: bound fast at the infinite crossroads. he is the passenger par excellence: that is, the prisoner of the passage. and the land he will come to is unknown—as is, once he disembarks, the land from which he comes. he has his truth and his homeland only in that fruitless expanse between two countries that cannot belong to him.

The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by god himself. it would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. it has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
