Top Texas Political Blogger Sings The Damned At Houston Ship Channel—Let Go As Life Is Brief And Brutal
Above is a video of me singing The Damned’s Wait For The Blackout at the Houston Ship Channel.
Life is short and you’d might as well just let go.
One way to let go is to tell the people you care about how much you care about them.
Life is brief and often brutal.
At the end of the song it says–”There is no vision here.”
Quoting the Bible, Franklin Roosevelt said in his 1933 inaugural address that “Without vision the people perish.”
I stand by both the song and by President Roosevelt’s speech.
Please don’t forget—I’ll be hosting the biggest punk rock event in the nation this August 15 in Newport, Kentucky. Newport is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.
My engagement in Cincinnati is in addition to my status as the top political blogger in all Texas.
Maybe even in all the world.
In any case, I was the top political blogger singing The Damned at the Houston Ship Channel yesterday.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
