The oil leak goes on and on and on just I thought it would. Read Oil Spills — There's No Free Lunch.
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the worldIt's my own design
It''s my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
— Tears For Fears
The tune I've quoted, Everybody Wants To Rule the World, has an embedded limits-to-oil theme, which I certainly didn't understand when I first heard it & watched the video in 1985—all I wanted to do in 1985 was take drugs, dance the night away, and get laid. Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. Unfortunately, life forced me to sober up. Nothing, including oil, lasts forever.
Sticking with oil, Australia's Clarke & Dawe describe a tanker mishap that occurred Down Under when The Front Fell Off. Today's movie also has an oil theme. The clip is from 3 Days Of The Condor (1975) directed by Sidney Pollack and starring (a young!) Robert Redford, Cliff Robertson and Faye Dunaway. Be sure to watch the movie's final scene too.
