Reboot Series" Land of Confusion

There's too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Just tell me why

This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and lets start trying

To make it a place worth living in." .. Phil Collins.. Land of Confusion

Phil Collins was one of my favorite singers  in the 80s, but I never really liked one of his more famous songs, Land of Confusion, b/c I thought the Video was weird




and it was weird, but it also had a message. One that I did not understand at the time.

I started thinking about this song and video again the other day when I was buying beer (Blue Moon) and heard a cool remake/re-boot of it by Disturbed (check it out good remake/re-boot)



So I went back and looked at the original video again



and now that I'm older I understand.

The message questions the conflict in the world and how our leaders are incapable of peacefully resolving it. Hell they made it worse,Unfortunately, 30 years later, the same message  resounds in politics

and yes in softball as well.

There remains a Land of Confusion in both. I'll skip the politics chatter and keep it to softball where moves made by our leaders leads to confusion, conflict, anger, resentment, and distrust.

In Softball many complain. Few help without an agenda. That is the True Confusion

There's too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Just tell me why

This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and lets start trying

To make it a place worth playing in." .
