BÖC, Agents of Fortune. I always looked for the writers and musicians on each song. As a budding saxophonist, I heard the sax solo on “True Confessions,” saw that it was Mike Brecker, found the Brecker Brothers album Heavy Metal Bebop, and the rest is history!

“Up is Down” is an Alt-Jazz-Rock protest song, a bonus track only on the Bandcamp version of the new Stickman album Direct Message. Today feels like a good day to get it out there. #musiciansky #jazzsky #protestsong #jazzfusion #stickman stickmanbanddc.bandcamp.com/track/up-is-...

An image showing the lyrics to the song “Up Is Down”.

Lyrics:

Stateship aground
Democracy unwound
Silence resounds
Complacency hidebound

Lowlife becrowned
Mendacity astounds
Proceeds confound
Rapacity unbound

Upshot showdown
Kleptocracy impound
Uprise takedown
Insurgency downtown

Contemplate
Educate
Elevate
Universality (celebrate)

Congregate
Agitate
Eradicate

Reliving
Up is down
Day is night
In is out
Left is right

Contemplate
Educate
Elevate
Universality (celebrate)

Advocate
Demonstrate
Overwhelmingly (overcome)

Congregate
Agitate
Eradicate
Corporatocracy (liquidate)

Potentate
Adjudicate
Incarcerate

Everything’s
Upside down
Inside out
Day is night
Black is white
Right is wrong
Left is right
Up is down

Beautiful, in the midst of all the ugly. We moved into my childhood home on 7/20/69. I’m told that the first thing unpacked was the TV and we all gathered around to watch, but all I remember is breathlessly running loops on the sidewalks of my new neighborhood.
