Your Weekend Holiday – Eid-Ul-Adha
Today is the awesome Islamic holiday of Eid-Ul-Adha. After dressing in their finest clothes and doing some praying, Muslims sacrifice their finest animals to Allah. Being the generous people they are, they give the slaughtered meat to less fortunate Muslims. It seems a bit similar to Thanksgiving, but without a huge, televised parade.
Steve Earle – John Walker’s Blues
Knowing there’s no such thing as bad publicity, Steve Earle wrote this song about the American Taliban who converted to Islam after seeing the Spike Lee film, Malcolm X.
If you didn’t understand the end of the song, here’s the lyrics:
الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا
Happy Eid-Ul-Adha!

Of course, now I can’t get this out of my head…
الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا
الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا
الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا
I just found your site. Very, very nice. Classy, but not too classy. And so far, your assessments have been right on the money as far as I’m concerned.
Merry Eid-Ul-Adha, every one!
Thanks Sean.
As far as the classy part, Frank Sinatra once said, “You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.”
I like to think of this site as a hard-ridden music-whore that Carl and us other contributors treat as a beautiful, nymphomaniac of a woman wearing a lovely red dress… but despite the facade, she’s still just a whore to the music.
Thanks for the comment and your continued visits!
