DO NOT--go lazy easy way and fwd to yr list--I am sure you don't want to invite hackers and neither do I.

I will try and get you a translation of the lyrics.

For now, my Ph.D. mentor and external examiner Dr Josef Silverstein said "I live a long time, and I remember everything, and everyone hates me."

Well, I remember how we were slighted too by so-called Burma experts whose tones are always literally off.

They love for instance to say, "I was just in Myann--mar last Wed." and "Are you one of the Burma bashers?"

I went up to introduce myself to a woman who looked like Modigliana's Woman in Yellow (riding jacket) and the anorhexic said, "I know your opinions already."

In Gottenberg in 2002, Zarni, Aung Zaw and others wanted Mun Awng to perform a concert.

The Burma Studies Board--Bored?? refused permission, so we had a street-side evening concert.  The tableau in the video are based on news photos from 1988.

Where are all the ass lickers now?? So silent.
