Tea Party

there has been a lot of talk about Lost recently. i do not know why. And no, i will not even be talking about that during todays newsletter.



no, i will not talk about Lost. no, not at all. but i do have a lot to talk about today.

what i want to talk about is tea party. now you might be wondering which tea party i am referring to. there was one in boston, there seems to be a daily one all over england during a specified 'tea time' and now there is a political party that likes to talk politics while drinking their tea.

none of these are important.

the real 'tea party of tea parties' is the canadian rock band.

according to wikipedia, "The Tea Party was a Canadian rock band with blues, progressive rock, Indian and Middle Eastern influences, dubbed "Moroccan roll" by the media. Active throughout the 1990s up until 2005 when the band broke up, The Tea Party released eight albums on EMI Music Canada, selling 1.6 million records worldwide, and achieving a #1 Canadian single "Heaven Coming Down" in 1999."

some people might not find the band important, either politically or historically. but lets look at the facts. because of an obscure canadian rock band, the early american colonists dumped english tea into the harbor in Boston. because of canadian rock and roll, massachusetts now has a new senator who proscribes to a political party named after 'the tea party' band. also because of this canadian influence, millions of individuals in England, English territories, and former English colonies take a daily 'tea time' break to celebrate the 1.6 million records sold by the band.

the tea party has left a legacy, both in its progressive rock influences, and in its worldwide effects on international trade, tea consumption, and colonial warfare.

i would go so far as to say, because of the tea party, America is now a free country, Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, Henry Ford the model-t, and Al Gore the internet. and now, because of the tea party, we have masap.

lets thank the tea party for the foresight to write albums and change history!

MASAP salutes you!
