I'd understand NIMBYism in Scotland at least but the nicest countryside in England is still barely nicer than the Pennsylvania countryside which has been systematically drilled and mined for 150 years, that's the nicest English countryside. Most of it is an absolute shit hole like the vast majority of the blighted Island.

I have it on good authority England's land is rather green and even a bit on the pleasant side.

I imagine a chariot of fire would not be environmentally friendly.  :hmm:

And isn't there a risk that dark satanic mills are flammable? Smashing them with chariots of fire could be quite dangerous.

It's my favorite hymn.

Bizzarely, one of my favorite versionsf was done by Emerson, Lake and Palmer in the album Brain Salad Surgery (and, aside from the cover art by Gieger, it's the best thing on that album).

The dark satanic mills probably contain large amounts of asbestos, which needs careful disposal by professionals.

It's a wonderful hymn.

As a poem, though, it just shows how genuinely mad Blake was :lol:

Such is the price of brilliance.  Guy was probably the greatest artist Britain ever produced.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I won't spoil it, other than to say that if you are amused at how freaking insane Blake was, you will not be disappointed by the movie, which was very obviously made by someone who quite strongly felt the same way.  :D

Not to worry, they run on environmentally friendly natural gas.

Having been at Twickenham hearing it with 80 thousand people singing, it stirs some emotions in me. But, politics wise, I put them in the category with RATM and Manic Street Preachers, great music, useless politics/philosophy.
