Quotes with mouth organ
Oh, that I
knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! I
would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth
with
arguments. I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what
he would say to me. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his
power? No; but he would give heed to me. There an upright person could
reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge.

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
If "heavy
metal" was the Anglo-American contribution to low culture, then "rap"
was the African-American donation. And if "metal"
came
from the garage where Junior had been sent with his guitar and
extension cord, then rap came from the street where young blacks played
the only instruments they could afford--the mouth organ and the foot
drum. Rap is performed in street clothes; metal in elaborate costumes of
leather and fringe. In metal, the volume carries the aggression; in rap
it is the words. Both are rife with adolescent misogyny, homophobia,
and threats of violence. They are rude, bawdy, boastful, with a kind of
"in your face" aggression (called "attitude") characteristic of insecure
masculinity. Both musical forms were unique, however, in that they
produced platinum records with little radio exposure. They found their
audience on MTV.
Surely,
this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you,
nor is it too far away. It is not in heaven, that
you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so
that we may hear it and observe it?" Neither is it beyond the sea, that
you should say, "Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and
get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?" No, the word is
very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to
observe. See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and
adversity
Whatever your lips utter you must diligently perform, just as you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth
Never be
rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be quick to utter a word before
God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; t
herefore let your words be few
