the at. bluefield the moment the spirit of the people i would be they catch you and just imagine when you're out of libya and you're all. life have this nightmare on your heads and when they move. along. then. i was surprised when first time we get the internet and somebody say me go to the denmark shop be easy. and when we get to a place forty four after george michael i will come. and that this really sort of surprised me i was happy because of from me and you know

this is the moment. spring flume in the desert that turn everything to multiple colors before that it was a desert. so i went back and i decide to pursue between going to be. a lot of the structures amazing.

is that. what. this is but if you're going to lead this this might. remember all these little if you have nothing to do with this destruction. since if citizenship right and in between like and in the soup. i have a first time if you didn't bring anything. just. it would be awful some of it almost says yellin day after day. it was mccain. probably the first time they ever clean it or this but it would be clean. if the been proud to be as i am now no i'm saying how great these guys are. yes.

i am. just to tell you that. the concert. guys underground my so do i think once this is a good for them and super easy react with you know that move in with you and do whatever you want them to do to you says something really to be important not like you really tell us what. it's like i told everybody love them but. we decided to make plans to join the guys you know i mean would simple things what do you have this only. computer software and you know and not only me there is

a book for guys upstairs they make some metal music and everybody there they singing live that i mean. you know the big deal with little guy. and he. the. look here.

all human stuff on the steps of. the. ship not a top. down. to

the bottom of the. blade. to the. video but as there is no. exactly a. really amazing. victory. this very. soon to. be over. your review or. a medal.

for me i have yet to receive them there is they just got their card is a pretty good. i still worry about that another day. you're. going to. tell me but i'm not sure i know what is driving all this thing but i know from inside sometime between writing me and my god you know. and also to stay on the special they all. say.

but it's something. i want to be ok that's never a good thing because i think it's because i can see it's because. i am not crazy i'm content maybe that's. ok. i have it i now have somebody other than of a knob that other not. mine back it's was good. because you know how come i was kind of i just posted up. there are. like you find. that i. got the. chance to see. how she. said see. ya i just like to push this people to the world just to the world see see what

libya they have i mean this is my dream singing songs twenty years here. to maintain some big new concerts the front of the beastie or square or anyplace just leave the front of people i mean not the two speakers one week so it's not something really really big. losses. and since. i want to shoulder to face of the media it's all these artists musicians and i mean there is not only mom or with these two channels this is not believe that this is not the libyans i mean when you when you see all these people coming from the house i mean with this small flags and something really special. now see. logistics. stage equipment security imagine seeing i mean we don't have nothing now for the first time we

tried to simply be there. anyone can tell from the sides we have gotten one from you know. from others but it is a. good thing to. affect your life. as you get to your own shooting which. you see are refusing to get in we have training. almost all of the world and i'm sure if you grew up. one day you took this kind of us ride this was going to be like a disease going to spread the best right i wanted to have

a chance to enjoy life that's right siegrist that i could add frightening ok. this is the stage for the well. i was amazed to see it i mean the time on twenty five bands in the festival just to tell you how this city are full of artery . whites. that was the night and the day before it was you know you never see a meeting in benghazi that sustained civil to pearson really they came to the meeting and it was just a meeting between me and other guy to you know to negotiate the contract but i knew that this something was really going on you know in the back and they were trying

to ready i mean. i mean cancel the contract. you know without me. again i just said himself. it was dirty politics and shadia personality and you know apparently the muslim brotherhood some part in it and the first one appeared just to mean. sober. but moments in my life when i call the old guys one by one say guys saudi. nothing will happen now i was completely destroyed the day. i've got my mom and dad if you'd like to just today i think. they're well.

you know i want to make them but for the first minute for sure but the political now they don't want to music you. know i tried to with malcolm i no way they said we had sex because we have. people dying. to know their night. nick leeson all these tents and these. dollies you can find to se. just so good to see you released. in your. appearance here when their evolution was was taking place to be able they're

preparing themselves and when the deaf you died and shed their two thousand pieces these guys defined opportunity you know to fill the void. to be a star going from that tuor stuck here and there every day is getting worse and worse with these people. the killing of their chris down american bester that was the tipping point and from that point there was a glance for them ok to. kill and murder anything they want. or

like before. you know no. i mean war was played. of course get out of the house you know the backwash of what could definitely see this what you end up with these guys it was you know all over again musician they

went underground no i mean the games said you know change. thing what they're from . i don't miss a brother. brother who got shot. and i got arrested twice. and somebody would give to the bedroom miles we've been with russia go through of my adam pistols and guns like where you go get up get up and there's one someone ask you a couple of questions like. who are you i said i don't know who audio and he starts lead me around the said i ask question you know you're not and then this job beat me up on the tram but no the back of my car truck you buy i refuse that and know right away i'm not the one in one shot we should with the base but me see if.

there is some ice is a live and nobody can deny that i mean they control some some it's a rare but not big areas met another way like with the media but this is the environment for them to work on because they grow every minute. of the music instrument like where you expect from my says no the kind of heads. she had one law to help the law one must be made up somewhat on one leg up to the human woman and you so no one make you the one when you've got to deal on the first

as a woman and. i believe there will be shot that. so the truth is i believe that this was. not this issue. of well much to look at that. because i just push buttons now a lot. the bush people and other people you know i love to be right now i have to bring other people here. i lived through the miracle still more that they didn't miss that look i'm a doll a great deal more dependable start to bomb an audible than one million deadly masonic let me make your disgust when i and the mother. we still. make a music loan to yellow college to where the issue is simple equipment and of course

me i cannot stop with this is like. a lot you believe. if the music is in my blood. just blowing all. the way up to. the process of bullets as i told them not bullets. time is coming. but certainly as you forensic people stop saying so. saying this is more power than with a. song i was informed. as long. to. see. them from.
