The Doobie Brothers: World Gone Crazy

HOR

Forty years into a remarkable career, the Doobie Brothers’ latest LP, World Gone Crazy, shows the band ageing gracefully. The Doobie Brothers’ first studio effect after a decade-long hiatus, the album ranks among the best from the outfit’s last 30 years despite some inconsistencies. Highlights include a reworked version of the band’s first-ever single, “Nobody,” the poppy opening track “A Brighter Day” and special guest Willie Nelson’s contribution to “I Know We Won.” The sickly sweet “Don’t Say Goodbye,” “Far From Home” and “Little Prayer” each weigh the album down. While no one will ever confuse World Gone Crazy for classic Doobie LPs Toulouse Street and The Captain and Me, it’s an entertaining listen that stays true to the band’s sound.

People are going to die.The BP oil-spill will be directly repslnsiboe for the deaths of American people.No, I’m not kidding.1) When hurricanes hit the gulf, Cyclonic Transportation of the oil and toxins will occur. High winds combined with rain impact will lift and carry surface BP oil and BP added chemicals to several states across the south and east coast. This northward migration of a pollutant cocktail will effectively invade and poison lakes and streams, fresh water water supplies, farm fields and ready crops, live stock and animals, orchards, forests, fields, lawns, trees, etc. People will ingest these chemicals through a variety of delivery mechanisms and suffer both immediate and long-term health issues and, in significant numbers of cases probable death.2) In addition, Florida will see an inland invasion of their fresh water table which operates at sea-level and shallow levels. Therefore, inland Florida wells, fresh water springs and the St. Johns River, etc., and all of the wildlife and humans who drink from these sources etc. of breathe the resultant fumes, will receive deadly doses of cumulative toxins.3) Deadly disease transmission is also probable. The potentially hundreds of thousands (hopefully not millions) of dead fish, birds and dead animals that will not be harvested, and bake under extreme summer heat, will begin to rot and generate multiple forms of bacteria and disease. The lice, larva and flies who feed on these dead carcasses, will eventually bite significant numbers of the multi-million human inhabitants of several U.S. states and rapidly spread these deadly diseases across the country.We should be taking immediate pro-active approaches to avoid these further ripple-effect disasters which based on mathematical probabilities will result in significant numbers of human casualties. BP must be held accountable.
