Fact #4: The world is business

see also the original version from The Network (1976)

Put it simple: stealing from the poor to pay the rich

Rich become richer and poor become poorer.

(Plus: poverty, wars, inequality are essential conditions for this business to operate and be maintained )

Yet there is nothing that can't be changed

History Lessons by Jaar

Nicolas Jaar Live at Sonar 2012

John the Revelator is a song that originates in the 30's. It refers to John of Patmos who is John the Evangelist, one of Jesus' students. He wrote the "Book of Revelation" which includes the "Book of the Seven Seals", an interesting and symbolic concept worth exploring.

It began as a Gospel/blues song by Blind Willie Johnson

but it develops throughout the decades through covers.
Music develops and the song goes on.

Nick Cave

Dave Matthews Band

The White Stripes

Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers

*personal favorite*

Live better

Smile wider

Hug harder

Think clearer

Judge fairer
