Gorillaz: Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head

-


If you wish for a band with no posers to engage, no egos to tolerate and no blind loyalties to pledge, Gorillaz it is. A virtual band of real people represented outwardly by cartoon caricatures, leaving fans not only with a biographical prank but with an eclectic mix of sounds and stories that partake in hypothetical and sometimes real world scenarios such as Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head where the baritone of Dennis Lee Hopper (1936-2010) the clever story telling of Albarn and noise of Danger Mouse comes together in a carnatic-reggae mix, taken well with lights dimmed and a dose of Algerian hashish.

Hopper’s sobering recital of the disguised little parable draws inference the atrocity of 911 where Oil refers to the Jewels, the Twin Towers point to the Monkey, the Perpetrators of the carnage the Strange Folk and the Ignorant who never expected the atrocity to occur, the Happy Folk. Generally, it is an allegory of social disintegration via greed and infusion of diabolical invaders, suggested perhaps in Daniel Greenfield’s The Way of the Cuckoo.

The placid conclusion is unembellished, but begs to be deciphered.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion.
