Photo of the week: The Lybian Guitar Hero

My random stumblings around the WWW lead me to this pretty fascinating picture out of Libya:

You've got to wonder what song was he was playing...

For me it symbolizes the final coming together of Libya and the bravery of Libyans themselves in fighting for their freedom. Even if you can't haul a gun, then you can haul a guitar and still be just as brave. May they stay strong and rebuild their shattered nation. And ay tyrants everywhere tremble at this simple man and his guitar.

Dedicated to all those fighting to free their country, at home and abroad.

About this blog

This blog is the post pad of Jack Cope, AKA Cpt_Jack.

If you're reading this, you probably stumbled into one of my many posts somewhere on the great pulsating mass known as the WWW and wanted to know more. Well, here you are.

Here you will also find copies of some of the articles I've written for various magazines and websites. You'll also find details on some of my projects at Band of Strangers as well as general ramblings.

I write about whatever comes to mind, whether it be politics or porpoises, faith or farts, life or long-johns. I'm not always serious, I'm not always funny and I'm certainly not always right.

If you've got something to say then say it, I can be reached by email at jackcope@bandofstrangers.org or through the comments section here.

Please, read, share, learn, educate, but mostly enjoy your time here.

Have fun

Jack
