Daytime Drama, spun off from "Another World," which followed Iris Carrington from Bay City as she rediscovered Alex Wheeler, a former love, and moved to the Houston area. The stories centered around the daily lives of the wealthy Wheelers and Bellmans and the middle-class Marshalls and their ranching and oil interests. Beverlee McKinsey, as Iris, was the first daytime performer to be given starring credit.

Train crashes into truck in Midland County, Texas, sending pipes flying through the air- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 1:03
- Updated: 11 Oct 2013
Subscribe to ITN News: http://bit.ly/itnytsub A train has slammed into a truck laden with pipes at a railroad crossing in Texas. The 18-wheel truck had come to rest on the rails in Midland County on Wednesday after letting other drivers pass, and then broken down. As the train approached the driver repeatedly sounded the horn but ended up smashing into the side of the truck, pushing numerous pipes flying into the air like arrows. The accident was all caught on camera. The driver managed to get out of the truck and no-one onboard the train was injured. Report by Ashley Fudge.

Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Freedom fightin' machine, big-ass hatchet in hand Why'd you have to kill my bros? I'm-a slash your face, man I'm a very skilled assassin killin' dudes in ones and twos Blood flowin' like a river, need a box of tissues When I'm huntin', I be stuntin', you can never find me In the bushes, in the hay stacks, in your mother's laundry Watch me comin', free runnin', up the walls like a boss What you lookin' at, bitch? Taste my tomahawk chop! How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow From Boston to NY, always up to no good Don't know how I can see out this big-ass hood Walkin' through the crowds touchin' you on the back Using my hidden blade for a secret attack Jumpin' off of giant buildings like I was a super man Use your momma as a meat shield every time that I can Take a break from the war to hunt for some meat What? A man's gotta eat... How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Up first in the verse feel the clack of wooden teeth Bread and butter, lift the covers and you'll find the fu**in' heat Revolution I lead, with the world I got beef I dig my wigs powdered, wear boxers- I don't wear briefs You can't step up to me and my gang Horse and carriage, drive bys, bullet in the chamb' Ridin' over your clique like the Delaware, son I'll get my face on that dollar before this sh*t's done How many fools can I kill today?

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same So, don't even bother asking if you look ok You know I'll say When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change Cause you're amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are The way you are, the way you are Girl you're amazing, just the way you are When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change Cause you're amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah.

Directed by Phil Pinto & Bruno Mars http://brunomars.com http://facebook.com/brunomars http://twitter.com/brunomars LYRICS If you ever leave me, baby, Leave some morphine at my door 'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication To realize what we used to have, We don't have it anymore. There's no religion that could save me No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh) So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin' To keep you by my side To keep you from walkin' out the door. 'Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby There'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same, if you walk away Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain I'll never be your mother's favorite Your daddy can't even look me in the eye Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing Sayin' "There goes my little girl Walkin' with that troublesome guy" But they're just afraid of something they can't understand Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds Yeah for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding If that'll make you mine 'Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby There'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same, if you walk away Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain Oh, don't just say (don't just say) goodbye (goodbye), Don't just say (don't just say) goodbye (goodbye) I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding If that'll make it right 'Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby There'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same, if you walk away Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Now you can: http://twitter.com/smosh ==LYRICS== Yeah my name is Link, man, I'm more well known than Lil Wayne Oh you thought my name was Zelda? THAT'S A F**KING GIRL'S NAME! I've saved the world like fifteen times and and saved the princess from demise And I do it all alone, with no help and no advice "Hey, Look, Listen" Hey, look, listen, you f**king annoying fairy I'd rather be forced to listen to constant Katy Perry I think it's time I got some recognition, don't you think? Legend of Zelda? SCREW THAT! Legend of LINK. ---------- 'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil ---------- I'll break all your pots and I best not hear your bitchin' I've got the Triforce of courage, BITCH! So you better listen (that's right) I'm called bushwhacker and my bank account's maxed out Got 999 rupees and my leather wallet's packed now Can't back down, can't slack now, the world needs me to attack now Yet I'm forced to pay out the ass for these bombs in Castle Town Just give me some heart containers and let me spit on my ocarina So I can kick that dumbass Ganon all the way to Argentina ---------- 'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil ---------- Yo, you low-life elf, need a ride up to the North Pole?

Oh snap, it's Ganondorf tryin' to jock on my style Batman's cape, Lincoln's beard, were you dressed by a child? You're a ginger with no soul and you look like a f**king troll Isn't kidnapping helpless girls getting a little bit old? You think Zelda's stupid enough to get kidnapped so often? She runs off to my castle, into my room and begs to get locked in. Yeah, she's sick of your little Deku nuts and your girly fairy face L-I-N-K? More like L-I-N-Gay. Man, you should've been aborted, just like the Jersey Shore It's a damn lie you told about Zelda 'cause she loves my master sword It's a shame your whole life's been a waste trying to rule Hyrule 'cause today will be the day known as "The day you got schooled" ---------- 'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel And he ain't gon' stop 'til the world is free of evil ---------- This video is extra special to us, so we went all-out this time and got a ton of help from our amazing friends: ==CREDITS== Written, Directed, Produced: Anthony Padilla & Ian Hecox Producer: Ryan Todd (http://youtube.com/electrongunvidz) Director of Photography: John Alexander Jimenez Editor & FX: Anthony Padilla & Michael Barryte (http://youtube.com/belatedmedia) Post Production Supervisor: Ryan Finnerty ==SONG CREDITS== -Beat by: Taylor Lipari (http://youtube.com/taylorlipari) -Lyrics: Anthony Padilla & Ian Hecox -Final Mix & Vocal Recording: Peter DeLeon -Link Vocals: Ian Hecox -Ganondorf Vocals: Anthony Padilla -Zelda Vocals: Kresta Ria Tabaranza (http://youtube.com/KO0LSAUCE) -Hook Melody: Ryan Finnerty -Vocals Recorded at: Track Shack Studios ==CAST== -Link: Ian Hecox -Zelda: Jacqueline Goehner (http://youtube.com/jackiegoehner) -Ganondorf: Anthony Padilla -Tingle: Anthony Padilla -Bomb Shopkeeper: Ethan Ireland -Santa Claus: Gary Agid ==ADDITIONAL CREW== -Link, Zelda, Ganondorf Costume Design & Assistant Make-up: Jacqueline Goehner -Make-up & Tingle Costume Design: Paula Barkley -Ganondorf Make-up & prosthetics: Margaret Cargan -Colorist: Mike Burton -Assembly Editor: Elyjah Wilber -Art Director: Patrick Egan -Additional props: Jacqueline Goehner -Production Designer (Castle Walls): Edward Duffy -Set Painter: Lynn Malmberg -Assistant Director: Ethan Ireland -Gaffer: Tobija A.

A rotating supercell. And not just a rotating supercell, but one with insane structure and amazing movement. I've been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. Usually it's just for a day, or three, or two...but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I'd been looking for. And boy did we find it. No, there was no tornado. But that's not really what I was after. I'm from Arizona. We don't get structure like this. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth. We chased this storm from the wrong side (north) and it took us going through hail and torrential rains to burst through on the south side. And when we did...this monster cloud was hanging over Texas and rotating like something out of Close Encounters. The timelapse was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens. It's broken up into four parts. The first section ends because it started pouring on us. We should have been further south when we started filming but you never know how long these things will last, so I started the timelapse as soon as I could. One thing to note early on in the first part is the way the rain is coming down on the right and actually being sucked back into the rotation. Amazing. A few miles south is where part two picks up. And I didn't realize how fast it was moving south, so part three is just me panning the camera to the left. During that third part you can see dust along the cornfield being pulled into the storm as well...part of the strong inflow. The final part is when the storm had started dying out and we shot lightning as it passed over us. Between the third and fourth portions we drove through Booker, Texas where tornado sirens were going off...it was creepy as all heck. And intense. I hope you enjoy this. Once thing I've learned about timelapsing is that I always wish it would be longer or wouldn't end. I wish I had been south and been able to record this storm come at me for 45 minutes. But I love it the way it is. I wasn't ever certain I'd see structure like this even though it's been such a goal of mine. But we did it. And by we, I mean myself and my buddy Andy Hoeland, who knows his crap and got us into position so we could chase this storm. Without him along I don't know if I get this timelapse.3:43

It appears you are traveling in the midst of a dream, half-sleeping, half-waking, and touching the arch connecting heaven and earth." I discovered my passion for photography shortly after my mother’s passing while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 3 years ago. This time-lapse video is my visual representation of how the night sky and landscapes co-exist within a world of contradictions. I hope this connection between heaven and earth inspires you to discover and create your own opportunities, to reach your rightful place within two worlds. Please feel free to share #withintwoworlds!

Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Freedom fightin' machine, big-ass hatchet in hand Why'd you have to kill my bros? I'm-a slash your face, man I'm a very skilled assassin killin' dudes in ones and twos Blood flowin' like a river, need a box of tissues When I'm huntin', I be stuntin', you can never find me In the bushes, in the hay stacks, in your mother's laundry Watch me comin', free runnin', up the walls like a boss What you lookin' at, bitch? Taste my tomahawk chop! How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow From Boston to NY, always up to no good Don't know how I can see out this big-ass hood Walkin' through the crowds touchin' you on the back Using my hidden blade for a secret attack Jumpin' off of giant buildings like I was a super man Use your momma as a meat shield every time that I can Take a break from the war to hunt for some meat What? A man's gotta eat... How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Up first in the verse feel the clack of wooden teeth Bread and butter, lift the covers and you'll find the fu**in' heat Revolution I lead, with the world I got beef I dig my wigs powdered, wear boxers- I don't wear briefs You can't step up to me and my gang Horse and carriage, drive bys, bullet in the chamb' Ridin' over your clique like the Delaware, son I'll get my face on that dollar before this sh*t's done How many fools can I kill today?

A rotating supercell. And not just a rotating supercell, but one with insane structure and amazing movement. I've been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. Usually it's just for a day, or three, or two...but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I'd been looking for. And boy did we find it. No, there was no tornado. But that's not really what I was after. I'm from Arizona. We don't get structure like this. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth. We chased this storm from the wrong side (north) and it took us going through hail and torrential rains to burst through on the south side. And when we did...this monster cloud was hanging over Texas and rotating like something out of Close Encounters. The timelapse was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens. It's broken up into four parts. The first section ends because it started pouring on us. We should have been further south when we started filming but you never know how long these things will last, so I started the timelapse as soon as I could. One thing to note early on in the first part is the way the rain is coming down on the right and actually being sucked back into the rotation. Amazing. A few miles south is where part two picks up. And I didn't realize how fast it was moving south, so part three is just me panning the camera to the left. During that third part you can see dust along the cornfield being pulled into the storm as well...part of the strong inflow. The final part is when the storm had started dying out and we shot lightning as it passed over us. Between the third and fourth portions we drove through Booker, Texas where tornado sirens were going off...it was creepy as all heck. And intense. I hope you enjoy this. Once thing I've learned about timelapsing is that I always wish it would be longer or wouldn't end. I wish I had been south and been able to record this storm come at me for 45 minutes. But I love it the way it is. I wasn't ever certain I'd see structure like this even though it's been such a goal of mine. But we did it. And by we, I mean myself and my buddy Andy Hoeland, who knows his crap and got us into position so we could chase this storm. Without him along I don't know if I get this timelapse.3:43

It appears you are traveling in the midst of a dream, half-sleeping, half-waking, and touching the arch connecting heaven and earth." I discovered my passion for photography shortly after my mother’s passing while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 3 years ago. This time-lapse video is my visual representation of how the night sky and landscapes co-exist within a world of contradictions. I hope this connection between heaven and earth inspires you to discover and create your own opportunities, to reach your rightful place within two worlds. Please feel free to share #withintwoworlds!

And by we, I mean myself and my buddy Andy Hoeland, who knows his crap and got us into position so we could chase this storm. Without him along I don't know if I get this timelapse.3:43

It appears you are traveling in the midst of a dream, half-sleeping, half-waking, and touching the arch connecting heaven and earth." I discovered my passion for photography shortly after my mother’s passing while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 3 years ago. This time-lapse video is my visual representation of how the night sky and landscapes co-exist within a world of contradictions. I hope this connection between heaven and earth inspires you to discover and create your own opportunities, to reach your rightful place within two worlds. Please feel free to share #withintwoworlds!

A rotating supercell. And not just a rotating supercell, but one with insane structure and amazing movement. I've been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. Usually it's just for a day, or three, or two...but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I'd been looking for. And boy did we find it. No, there was no tornado. But that's not really what I was after. I'm from Arizona. We don't get structure like this. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth. We chased this storm from the wrong side (north) and it took us going through hail and torrential rains to burst through on the south side. And when we did...this monster cloud was hanging over Texas and rotating like something out of Close Encounters. The timelapse was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens. It's broken up into four parts. The first section ends because it started pouring on us. We should have been further south when we started filming but you never know how long these things will last, so I started the timelapse as soon as I could. One thing to note early on in the first part is the way the rain is coming down on the right and actually being sucked back into the rotation. Amazing. A few miles south is where part two picks up. And I didn't realize how fast it was moving south, so part three is just me panning the camera to the left. During that third part you can see dust along the cornfield being pulled into the storm as well...part of the strong inflow. The final part is when the storm had started dying out and we shot lightning as it passed over us. Between the third and fourth portions we drove through Booker, Texas where tornado sirens were going off...it was creepy as all heck. And intense. I hope you enjoy this. Once thing I've learned about timelapsing is that I always wish it would be longer or wouldn't end. I wish I had been south and been able to record this storm come at me for 45 minutes. But I love it the way it is. I wasn't ever certain I'd see structure like this even though it's been such a goal of mine. But we did it.

The name, based on the Caddo word "Tejas" meaning "friends" or "allies", was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas.[10] Located in the South Central United States, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south, and borders the US states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and a growing population of 25.7 million residents.[11]During the Spanish colonial rule, the area was officially known as the Nuevo Reino de Filipinas: La Provincia de Texas.[12] Antonio Margil de Jesús was known to be the first person to use the name in a letter to the Viceroy of Mexico in July 20, 1716. The name was not popularly used in daily speech but often appeared in legal documents until the end of the 1800s.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan areas, respectively. Other major cities include El Paso and Austin—the state capital. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texas state flag and on the Texas state seal today.[13]
Due to its size and geologic features such as the Balcones Fault, Texas contains diverse landscapes that resemble both the American South and Southwest.[14] Although Texas is popularly associated with the Southwestern deserts, less than 10% of the land area is desert.[15] Most of the population centers are located in areas of former prairies, grasslands, forests, and the coastline. Traveling from east to west, one can observe terrain that ranges from coastal swamps and piney woods, to rolling plains and rugged hills, and finally the desert and mountains of the Big Bend.
The term "six flags over Texas" came from the several nations that had ruled over the territory. Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas. France held a short-lived colony in Texas. Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence, becoming an independent Republic. In 1845 it joined the United States as the 28th state. The state's annexation set off a chain of events that caused the Mexican–American War in 1846. A slave state, Texas declared its secession from the United States in early 1861, joining the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. After the war and its restoration to the Union, Texas entered a long period of economic stagnation.
One Texas industry that thrived after the Civil War was cattle. Due to its long history as a center of the industry, Texas is associated with the image of the cowboy. The state's economic fortunes changed in the early 20th century, when oil discoveries initiated an economic boom in the state. With strong investments in universities, Texas developed a diversified economy and high tech industry in the mid-20th century. As of 2010 it shares the top of the list of the most Fortune 500 companies with California at 57.[16] With a growing base of industry, the state leads in many industries, including agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers and electronics, aerospace, and biomedical sciences. It leads the nation in export revenue since 2002 and has the second-highest gross state product.

Geography[link]
Main article: Geography of TexasTexas is the second largest U.S. state, behind Alaska, with an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2). It is 10% larger than France and almost twice as large as Germany or Japan, though it ranks only 27th worldwide amongst country subdivisions by size. If it were a country, Texas would be the 40th largest behind Chile and Zambia.
Texas is in the south-central part of the United States of America. Three of its borders are defined by rivers. The Rio Grande river forms a natural border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south. The Red River forms a natural border with Oklahoma and Arkansas to the north. The Sabine River forms a natural border with Louisiana to the east. The Texas Panhandle has an eastern border with Oklahoma at 100° W, a northern border with Oklahoma at 36°30' N and a western border with New Mexico at 103° W. El Paso lies on the state's western tip at 32° N and the Rio Grande.[17]
With 10 climatic regions, 14 soil regions, and 11 distinct ecological regions, regional classification becomes problematic with differences in soils, topography, geology, rainfall, and plant and animal communities.[18] One classification system divides Texas, in order from southeast to west, into the following: Gulf Coastal Plains, Interior Lowlands, Great Plains, and Basin and Range Province. The Gulf Coastal Plains region wraps around the Gulf of Mexico on the southeast section of the state. Vegetation in this region consists of thick piney woods. The Interior Lowlands region consists of gently rolling to hilly forested land and is part of a larger pine-hardwood forest. The Great Plains region in central Texas is located in spans through the state's panhandle and Llano Estacado to the state's hill country near Austin. This region is dominated by prairie and steppe. "Far West Texas" or the "Trans-Pecos" region is the state's Basin and Range Province. The most varied of the regions, this area includes Sand Hills, the Stockton Plateau, desert valleys, wooded mountain slopes and desert grasslands.
File:Lake Alan Henry.jpgLake Alan HenryTexas has 3,700 named streams and 15 major rivers.[19][20] The largest of these rivers is the Rio Grande. Other major rivers include the Pecos, the Brazos, Colorado, and Red River, which forms the border with Oklahoma. While Texas has few natural lakes, Texans have built over 100 artificial reservoirs.[21]
The size and unique history of Texas make its regional affiliation debatable: it can be fairly considered a Southern or a Southwestern state, or both. The vast geographic, economic, and cultural diversity within the state itself prohibits easy categorization of the whole state into a recognized region of the United States. Notable extremes range from East Texas which is often considered an extension of the Deep South, to Far West Texas which is generally acknowledged to be part of the interior Southwest.
Geology[link]
Main article: Geology of Texas
Shaded Relief Map of the Llano Estacado
Texas is the southernmost part of the Great Plains, which ends in the south against the folded Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico. The continental crust forms a stable Mesoproterozoic craton which changes across a broad continental margin and transitional crust into true oceanic crust of the Gulf of Mexico. The oldest rocks in Texas date from the Mesoproterozoic and are about 1,600 million years old. These Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks underlie most of the state, and are exposed in three places: Llano uplift, Van Horn, and the Franklin Mountains, near El Paso. Sedimentary rocks overlay most of these ancient rocks. The oldest sediments were deposited on the flanks of a rifted continental margin, or passive margin that developed during Cambrian time. This margin existed until Laurasia and Gondwana collided in the Pennsylvanian subperiod to form Pangea. This is the buried crest of the Appalachian Mountains–Ouachita Mountains zone of Pennsylvanian continental collision. This orogenic crest is today buried beneath the Dallas–Waco—Austin–San Antonio trend.
The late Paleozoic mountains collapsed as rifting in the Jurassic period began to open the Gulf of Mexico. Pangea began to break up in the Triassic, but seafloor spreading to form the Gulf of Mexico occurred only in the mid and late Jurassic. The shoreline shifted again to the eastern margin of the state and the Gulf of Mexico passive margin began to form.
Today 9 miles (14 km) to 12 miles (19 km) of sediments are buried beneath the Texas continental shelf and a large proportion of remaining US oil reserves are located here. At the start of its formation, the incipient Gulf of Mexico basin was restricted and seawater often evaporated completely to form thick evaporite deposits of Jurassic age. These salt deposits formed salt dome diapirs, and are found in East Texas along the Gulf coast.[22]
East Texas outcrops consist of Cretaceous and Paleogene sediments which contain important deposits of Eocene lignite. The Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sediments in the north; Permian sediments in the west; and Cretaceous sediments in the east, along the Gulf coast and out on the Texas continental shelf contain oil. Oligocene volcanic rocks are found in far west Texas in the Big Bend area. A blanket of Miocene sediments known as the Ogallala formation in the western high plains region is an important aquifer.[23] Located far from an active plate tectonic boundary, Texas has no volcanoes and few earthquakes.[24]
Climate[link]
Main article: Climate of TexasFile:Map of Texas precipitations.jpgAverage annual precipitation in TexasFile:Map of Texas temperatures.jpgAverage annual temperature in Texas
Damage from the 1915 Galveston hurricane.The large size of Texas and its location at the intersection of multiple climate zones gives the state highly variable weather. The Panhandle of the state has colder winters than North Texas, while the Gulf Coast has mild winters. Texas has wide variations in precipitation patterns. El Paso, on the western end of the state, averages 8.7 inches (220 mm) of annual rainfall,[25] while parts of southeast Texas average as much as 64 inches (1,600 mm) per year.[26] Dallas in the North Central region averages a more moderate 37 inches (940 mm) per year.
Snow falls multiple times each winter in the Panhandle and mountainous areas of West Texas, once or twice a year in North Texas, and once every few years in Central and East Texas. Snow rarely falls south of San Antonio or on the coast except in rare circumstances. Of note is the 2004 Christmas Eve Snowstorm, when 6 inches (150 mm) of snow fell as far south as Kingsville, where the average high temperature in December is 65 °F.[27]
Maximum temperatures in the summer months average from the 80s °F (26 °C) in the mountains of West Texas and on Galveston Island to around 100 °F (38 °C) in the Rio Grande Valley, but most areas of Texas see consistent summer high temperatures in the 90 °F (32 °C) range.
Night-time summer temperatures range from the upper 50s °F (14 °C) in the West Texas mountains[28] to 80 °F (27 °C) in Galveston.[29]
Thunderstorms strike Texas often, especially the eastern and northern portions of the state. Tornado Alley covers the northern section of Texas. The state experiences the most tornadoes in the United States, an average of 139 a year. These strike most frequently in North Texas and the Panhandle.[30] Tornadoes in Texas generally occur in the months of April, May, and June.[31]
Some of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history have impacted Texas. A hurricane in 1875 killed approximately 400 people in Indianola, followed by another hurricane in 1886 that destroyed the town. These events allowed Galveston to take over as the chief port city. The Galveston hurricane of 1900 subsequently devastated that city, killing approximately 8,000 people (possibly as many as 12,000), making it the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Other devastating Texas hurricanes include the 1915 Galveston Hurricane, Hurricane Audrey in 1957 which killed over 600 people, Hurricane Carla in 1961, Hurricane Beulah in 1967, Hurricane Alicia in 1983, Hurricane Rita in 2005, and Hurricane Ike in 2008.[32] Tropical storms have also caused their share of damage: Allison in 1989 and again during 2001, and Claudette in 1979 among them.
Texas emits the most greenhouse gases in the U.S.[33][34][35] The state emits nearly 1.5 trillion pounds (680 billion kg) of carbon dioxide annually. As an independent nation, Texas would rank as the world's seventh-largest producer of greenhouse gases.[34] Causes of the state's vast greenhouse gas emissions include the state's large number of coal power plants and the state's refining and manufacturing industries.[34]

Pre-European era[link]
Further information: Pre-Columbian MexicoTexas lies between two major cultural spheres of Pre-Columbian North America: the Southwestern and the Plains areas. Archaeologists have found that three major indigenous cultures lived in this territory, and reached their developmental peak before the first European contact. These were:[36]
- the Pueblo from the upper Rio Grande region, centered west of Texas;
- the Mississippian culture, also known as Mound Builder, which extended along the Mississippi River Valley east of Texas; and
- the civilizations of Mesoamerica, centered south of Texas. Influence of Teotihuacan in northern Mexico peaked around AD 500 and declined over the 8th to 10th centuries.
No culture was dominant in the present-day Texas region, and many peoples inhabited the area.[36] Native American tribes that lived inside the boundaries of present-day Texas include the Alabama, Apache, Atakapan, Bidai, Caddo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Choctaw, Coushatta, Hasinai, Jumano, Karankawa, Kickapoo, Kiowa, Tonkawa, and Wichita.[37][38] The name Texas derives from táyshaʔ, a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai, which means "friends" or "allies".[3][39][40][41][42]
Whether a Native American tribe was friendly or warlike was critical to the fates of European explorers and settlers in that land.[43] Friendly tribes taught newcomers how to grow indigenous crops, prepare foods, and hunt wild game. Warlike tribes made life difficult and dangerous for Europeans through their attacks and resistance to the newcomers.[44]
Colonization[link]

Texas in 1718, Guillaume de L'Isle map, approximate state area highlighted, northern areas indefinite
Stephen F. Austin was the first American empresario given permission to operate a colony within Mexican Texas.The first historical document related to Texas was a map of the Gulf Coast, created in 1519 by Spanish explorer Alonso Álvarez de Pineda.[45][46] Nine years later, shipwrecked Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and his cohort became the first Europeans in Texas.[47][48] Cabeza de Vaca reported that in 1528, when the Spanish landed in Texas, “half the natives died from a disease of the bowels and blamed us.”[49] European powers ignored Texas until accidentally settling there in 1685. Miscalculations by René Robert Cavelier de La Salle resulted in his establishing the colony of Fort Saint Louis at Matagorda Bay rather than along the Mississippi River.[50] The colony lasted only four years before succumbing to harsh conditions and hostile natives.[51]
In 1690 Spanish authorities, concerned that France posed competitive threat, constructed several missions in East Texas.[52] After Native American resistance, the Spanish missionaries returned to Mexico.[53] When France began settling Louisiana, mostly in the southern part of the state, in 1716 Spanish authorities responded by founding a new series of missions in East Texas.[54][55] Two years later, they created San Antonio as the first Spanish civilian settlement in Texas.[56]
Hostile native tribes and distance from nearby Spanish colonies discouraged settlers from moving to Texas. It was one of New Spain's least populated provinces.[57] In 1749, the Spanish peace treaty with the Lipan Apache[58] angered many tribes, including the Comanche, Tonkawa, and Hasinai.[59] The Comanche signed a treaty with Spain in 1785[60] and later helped to defeat the Lipan Apache and Karankawa tribes.[61][62] With more numerous missions being established, priests led a peaceful conversion of most tribes. By the end of the 18th century only a few nomadic tribes had not converted to Christianity.[63]
When the United States purchased Louisiana from France in 1803, American authorities insisted that the agreement also included Texas. The boundary between New Spain and the United States was finally set at the Sabine River in 1819.[64] Eager for new land, many United States settlers refused to recognize the agreement. Several filibusters raised armies to invade Texas.[65] In 1821, the Mexican War of Independence included the Texas territory, which became part of Mexico.[66] Due to its low population, Mexico made the area part of the state of Coahuila y Tejas.[67]
Hoping that more settlers would reduce the near-constant Comanche raids, Mexican Texas liberalized its immigration policies to permit immigrants from outside Mexico and Spain.[68] Under the Mexican immigration system, large swathes of land were allotted to empresarios, who recruited settlers from the United States, Europe, and the Mexican interior. The first grant, to Moses Austin, was passed to his son Stephen F. Austin after his death.
Austin's settlers, the Old Three Hundred, made places along the Brazos River in 1822.[69] Twenty-three other empresarios brought settlers to the state, the majority of whom were from the United States.[69][70] The population of Texas grew rapidly. In 1825, Texas had a population of approximately 3,500, with most of Mexican descent.[71] By 1834, Texas had grown to approximately 37,800 people, with only 7,800 of Mexican descent.[72]
Many immigrants openly flouted Mexican law, especially the prohibition against slavery. Combined with United States' attempts to purchase Texas, Mexican authorities decided in 1830 to prohibit continued immigration from the United States.[73] New laws also called for the enforcement of customs duties angering both native Mexican citizens (Tejanos) and recent immigrants.[74]
The Anahuac Disturbances in 1832 were the first open revolt against Mexican rule and they coincided with a revolt in Mexico against the nation's president.[75] Texians sided with the federalists against the current government and drove all Mexican soldiers out of East Texas.[76] They took advantage of the lack of oversight to agitate for more political freedom. Texians met at the Convention of 1832 to discuss requesting independent statehood, among other issues.[77] The following year, Texians reiterated their demands at the Convention of 1833.
Republic[link]

Proposals of 1850 for Texas northwestern boundaryWithin Mexico, tensions continued between federalists and centralists. In early 1835, wary Texians formed Committees of Correspondence and Safety.[78] The unrest erupted into armed conflict in late 1835 at the Battle of Gonzales.[79] This launched the Texas Revolution, and over the next two months, the Texians successfully defeated all Mexican troops in the region.[80] Texians elected delegates to the Consultation, which created a provisional government.[81] The provisional government soon collapsed from infighting, and Texas was without clear governance for the first two months of 1836.[82][83]
During this time of political turmoil, Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna personally led an army to end the revolt.[84] The Mexican expedition was initially successful. General Jose de Urrea defeated all the Texian resistance along the coast culminating in the Goliad Massacre.[85] Santa Anna's forces, after a thirteen-day siege, overwhelmed Texian defenders at the Battle of the Alamo. News of the defeats sparked panic amongst Texas settlers.[86] The newly elected Texian delegates to the Convention of 1836 quickly signed a Declaration of Independence on March 2, forming the Republic of Texas. After electing interim officers, the Convention disbanded.[87] The new government joined the other settlers in Texas in the Runaway Scrape, fleeing from the approaching Mexican army.[86] After several weeks of retreat, the Texian Army commanded by Sam Houston attacked and defeated Santa Anna's forces at the Battle of San Jacinto.[88] Santa Anna was captured and forced to sign the Treaties of Velasco, ending the war.[89]
While Texas had won their independence, political battles raged between two factions of the new Republic. The nationalist faction, led by Mirabeau B. Lamar, advocated the continued independence of Texas, the expulsion of the Native Americans, and the expansion of the Republic to the Pacific Ocean. Their opponents, led by Sam Houston, advocated the annexation of Texas to the United States and peaceful co-existence with Native Americans. The conflict between the factions was typified by an incident known as the Texas Archive War.[90] Mexico launched two small expeditions into Texas in 1842. The town of San Antonio was captured twice and Texans were defeated in battle in the Dawson Massacre. Despite these successes, Mexico did not keep an occupying force in Texas, and the republic survived.[91] The republic's inability to defend itself added momentum to Texas's eventual annexation into the United States.
Statehood[link]
Main articles: Texas Annexation and Mexican American WarAs early as 1837, the Republic made several attempts to negotiate annexation with the United States.[92] Opposition within the republic from the nationalist faction, along with strong abolitionist opposition within the United States, slowed Texas's admission into the Union. Texas was finally annexed when the expansionist James K. Polk won the election of 1844.[93] On December 29, 1845, Congress admitted Texas to the U.S. as a constituent state of the Union.[94]
After Texas's annexation, Mexico broke diplomatic relations with the United States. While the United States claimed that Texas's border stretched to the Rio Grande, Mexico claimed it was the Nueces River. While the former Republic of Texas could not enforce its border claims, the United States had the military strength and the political will to do so. President Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor south to the Rio Grande on January 13, 1846. A few months later Mexican troops routed an American cavalry patrol in the disputed area in the Thornton Affair starting the Mexican-American War. The first battles of the war were fought in Texas: the Siege of Fort Texas, Battle of Palo Alto and Battle of Resaca de la Palma. After these decisive victories, the United States invaded Mexican territory ending the fighting in Texas.[95]
After a series of United States victories, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the two year war. In return, for US$18,250,000, Mexico gave the U.S. undisputed control of Texas, ceded the Mexican Cession in 1848, most of which today is called the American Southwest, and Texas's borders were established at the Rio Grande.[95]
The Compromise of 1850 set Texas's boundaries at their present form. Texas ceded its claims to land which later became half of present day New Mexico, a third of Colorado, and small portions of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming to the federal government, in return for the assumption of $10 million of the old republic's debt.[17] Post-war Texas grew rapidly as migrants poured into the cotton lands of the state.[96]
Civil War and Reconstruction[link]
Main article: Texas in the American Civil War
Civil war monument in Galveston, TexasTexas was at war again after the election of 1860. Abraham Lincoln's election triggered South Carolina's declaration of secession from the Union, which was quickly followed by that of five other Lower South states. A State Convention considering secession opened in Austin on January 28, 1861. On February 1, by a vote of 166–8, the Convention adopted an Ordinance of Secession from the United States. Texas voters approved this Ordinance on February 23, 1861. Texas joined the Confederate States of America, ratifying the permanent C.S. Constitution on March 23, 1861.[3][97] Not all Texans favored secession initially, although many of the same would later support the Southern cause. Texas's most notable unionist was the state Governor, Sam Houston. Not wanting to aggravate the situation, Houston refused two offers from President Lincoln for Union troops to keep him in office. After refusing to swear an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, Houston was deposed as governor.[98]
While far from the major battlefields of the American Civil War, Texas contributed large numbers of men and equipment to the rest of the Confederacy.[99] Union troops briefly occupied the state's primary port, Galveston. Texas's border with Mexico was known as the "backdoor of the Confederacy" because trade occurred at the border, bypassing the Union blockade.[100] The Confederacy repulsed all Union attempts to shut down this route,[99] but Texas's role as a supply state was marginalized in mid-1863 after the Union capture of the Mississippi River. The final battle of the Civil War was fought near Brownsville, Texas at Palmito Ranch[101] with a Confederate victory.
Texas descended into anarchy for two months between the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia and the assumption of authority by Union General Gordon Granger. Violence marked the early months of Reconstruction.[102] Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston by General Gordon Granger, over two and a half years after the original announcement.[103][104] President Johnson, in 1866, declared the civilian government restored in Texas.[105] Despite not meeting reconstruction requirements, Congress readmitted Texas into the Union in 1870. Social volatility continued as the state struggled with agricultural depression and labor issues.[106]
20th century to present[link]
SpindletopOn January 10, 1901, the first major oil well in Texas, Spindletop, was found south of Beaumont. Other fields were later discovered nearby in East Texas, West Texas, and under the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting "Oil Boom" transformed Texas.[107] Oil production eventually averaged three million barrels per day at its peak in 1972.[108]
The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl dealt a double blow to the state's economy, which had significantly improved since the Civil War. Migrants abandoned the worst hit sections of Texas during the Dust Bowl years. Especially from this period on, blacks left Texas in the Great Migration to get work in the Northern United States or California and to escape the oppression of segregation.[109] In 1940, Texas was 74% Anglo, 14.4% black, and 11.5% Hispanic.[110]
World War II had a dramatic impact on Texas, as federal money poured in to build military bases, munitions factories, POW detention camps and Army hospitals; 750,000 young men left for service; the cities exploded with new industry; the colleges took on new roles; and hundreds of thousands of poor farmers left for much better paying war jobs, never to return to agriculture.[111][112]
Texas modernized and expanded its system of higher education through the 1960s. The state created a comprehensive plan for higher education, funded in large part by oil revenues, and a central state apparatus designed to manage state institutions more efficiently. These changes helped Texas universities receive federal research funds.[113]
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.[114]
Government and politics[link]
The current Texas Constitution was adopted in 1876. Like many states, it explicitly provides for a separation of powers. The state's Bill of Rights is much larger than its federal counterpart, and has provisions unique to Texas.[115]
State government[link]
Main article: Government of TexasSee also: List of Texas state agencies
Texas State Capitol at night.Texas has a plural executive branch system limiting the power of the Governor. Except for the Secretary of State, voters elect executive officers independently; thus candidates are directly answerable to the public, not the Governor.[116] This election system has led to some executive branches split between parties. When Republican President George W. Bush served as Texas's governor, the state had a Democratic Lieutenant Governor, Bob Bullock. The executive branch positions consist of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Land Commissioner, Attorney General, Agriculture Commissioner, the three-member Texas Railroad Commission, the State Board of Education, and the Secretary of State.[116]
The bicameral Texas Legislature consists of the House of Representatives, with 150 members, and a Senate, with 31 members. The Speaker of the House leads the House, and the Lieutenant Governor, the Senate.[117] The Legislature meets in regular session biennially, but the Governor can call for special sessions as often as desired.[118] The state's fiscal year spans from the previous calendar year's September 1 to the current year's August 31. Thus, the FY 2012 dates from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012.
The judicial system of Texas is one of the most complex in the United States, with many layers and overlapping jurisdictions. Texas has two courts of last resort: the Texas Supreme Court, for civil cases, and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Except for some municipal benches, partisan elections select judges at all levels of the judiciary; the Governor fills vacancies by appointment.[119] Texas leads the nation in executions– 442 as of October 2009 (see Capital punishment in Texas).
The Texas Ranger Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety is a law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction. Over the years, the Texas Rangers have investigated crimes ranging from murder to political corruption. They have acted as riot police and as detectives, protected the Texas governor, tracked down fugitives, and functioned as a paramilitary force both for the republic and the state. The Texas Rangers were unofficially created by Stephen F. Austin in 1823 and formally constituted in 1835. The Rangers were part of several important events of Texas history and some of the best-known criminal cases in the history of the Old West.[120]

Lyndon B. Johnson, Texan and 36th president of the United StatesAs in other "Solid South" states, whites resented the Republican Party after the American Civil War, and the Democratic Party dominated Texas politics from the end of Reconstruction until the late 20th century. The state has since become a Republican stronghold.[121]
The Texas political atmosphere leans towards fiscal and social conservatism.[122][123] Since 1980, most Texas voters have supported Republican presidential candidates. In 2000 and 2004, Republican George W. Bush won Texas with 60.1% of the vote, partly due to his "favorite son" status as a former Governor of the state. John McCain won the state in 2008, but with a smaller margin of victory compared to Bush at 55% of the vote. Austin consistently leans Democratic in both local and statewide elections. Counties along the Rio Grande generally vote for Democrats, while most rural and suburban areas of Texas vote Republican.[124][125]
The 2003 Texas redistricting of Congressional districts led by the Republican Tom Delay, was called by the New York Times "an extreme case of partisan gerrymandering".[126] A group of Democratic legislators, the "Texas Eleven", fled the state in a quorum-busting effort.[127] Despite these efforts, the legislature passed a map heavily in favor of Republicans. Protests of the redistricting reached the national Supreme Court in the case League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry, but the ruling went in the Republicans' favor.[128]
As of the general elections of 2010, a large majority of the members of Texas's U.S. House delegation are Republican, along with both U.S. Senators. In the 112th United States Congress, of the 32 Congressional districts in Texas, 23 are held by Republicans and 9 by Democrats. Texas's Senators are Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn. Since 1994, Texans have not elected a Democrat to a statewide office. The state's Democratic presence comes primarily from some minority groups in East Texas and South Texas as well as urban voters, particularly in Beaumont, El Paso, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston.
Administrative divisions[link]
See also: List of Texas countiesTexas has 254 counties— the most nationwide. Each county runs on Commissioners' Court system consisting of four elected commissioners (one from each of four precincts in the county, roughly divided according to population) and a county judge elected at large from the entire county. County government runs similar to a "weak" mayor-council system; the county judge has no veto authority, but votes along with the other commissioners.
Although Texas permits cities and counties to enter "interlocal agreements" to share services, the state does not allow consolidated city-county governments, nor does it have metropolitan governments. Counties are not granted home rule status; their powers are strictly defined by state law. The state does not have townships— areas within a county are either incorporated or unincorporated. Incorporated areas are part of a municipality. The county provides limited services to unincorporated areas. Municipalities are classified either "general law" cities or "home rule".[129] A municipality may elect home rule status once it exceeds 5,000 population with voter approval. Municipal elections are nonpartisan[130] as are elections for school boards and community college districts.
Economy[link]
Main article: Economy of Texas
As of 2010, Texas had a gross state product (GSP) of $1.207 trillion, the second highest in the U.S.[131] Its GSP is comparable to the GDP of India or Canada, which are the world's 12th- and 11th-largest economies, respectively. Texas' economy is the fourth-largest of any country subdivision globally, behind England (as part of the UK), California, and Tokyo Prefecture. Its Per Capita personal income in 2009 was $36,484, ranking 29th in the nation. Texas's large population, abundance of natural resources, thriving cities and leading centers of higher education have contributed to a large and diverse economy. Since oil was discovered, the state's economy has reflected the state of the petroleum industry. In recent times, urban centers of the state have increased in size, containing two-thirds of the population in 2005. The state's economic growth has led to urban sprawl and its associated symptoms.[132]
As of November 2011, the state's unemployment rate is 8.1%.[133]
Texas has a "low taxes, low services" reputation.[122] According to the Tax Foundation, Texans' state and local tax burdens rank among the lowest in the nation, 7th lowest nationally; state and local taxes cost $3,580 per capita, or 8.4% of resident incomes.[134] Texas is one of seven states that lack a state income tax.[134][135] Instead, the state collects revenue from a state property tax and sales tax, which is charged at the rate of 6.25%,[134][136] but local taxing jurisdictions (cities, counties, special purpose districts, and transit authorities) may also impose sales and use tax up to 2% for a total maximum combined rate of 8.25%.[137] Texas is a "tax donor state"; in 2005, for every dollar Texans paid to the federal government in federal income taxes, the state received approximately $0.94 in benefits.[134]
In 2010, Site Selection Magazine ranked Texas as the most business-friendly state in the nation, in part because of the state's three-billion-dollar Texas Enterprise Fund.[138] Texas has the joint-highest number of Fortune 500 company headquarters in the United States, along with California.[139][140]
In 2010, there were 346,000 millionaires in Texas, constituting the second-largest population of millionaires in the nation.[141][142]

Texas has the most farms and the highest acreage in the United States.[143] Texas leads the nation in livestock production.[143] Cattle is the state's most valuable agricultural product, and the state leads nationally in production of sheep and goat products. Texas leads the nation in production of cotton.[143] The state grows significant amounts of cereal crops and produce.[143] Texas has a large commercial fishing industry. With mineral resources, Texas leads in creating cement, crushed stone, lime, salt, sand and gravel.[143]
Energy[link]
Ever since the discovery of oil at Spindletop, energy has been a dominant force politically and economically within the state.[144] According to the Energy Information Administration, Texans consume the most energy in the nation per capita and as a whole.[145] Unlike the rest of the nation, most of Texas is on its own alternating current power grid, the Texas Interconnection. Texas has a deregulated electric service.
The Railroad Commission of Texas, contrary to its name, regulates the state's oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipeline safety, safety in the liquefied petroleum gas industry, and surface coal and uranium mining. Until the 1970s, the commission controlled the price of petroleum because of its ability to regulate Texas's oil reserves. The founders of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) used the Texas agency as one of their models for petroleum price control.[146]
Texas has known petroleum deposits of about 5 billion barrels (790,000,000 m3), which makes up approximately one-fourth of the known U.S. reserves.[145] The state's refineries can process 4.6 million barrels (730,000 m3) of oil a day.[145] The Baytown Refinery in the Houston area is the largest refinery in America.[145] Texas also leads in natural gas production, producing one-fourth of the nation's supply.[145] Several petroleum companies are based in Texas such as: Conoco-Phillips, Exxon-Mobil, Halliburton, Valero, and Marathon Oil.
The state is a leader in renewable energy sources; it produces the most wind power in the nation.[145][147] The Roscoe Wind Farm in Roscoe, Texas, is the world's largest wind farm as of October 2009 with a 781.5 megawatt (MW) capacity.[148] The Energy Information Administration states that the state's large agriculture and forestry industries could give Texas an enormous amount biomass for use in biofuels. The state also has the highest solar power potential for development in the nation.[145]
Technology[link]
With large universities systems coupled with initiatives like the Texas Enterprise Fund and the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, a wide array of different high tech industries have developed in Texas. The Austin area is nicknamed the "Silicon Hills" and the north Dallas area the "Silicon Prairie". Texas has the headquarters of many high technology companies, such as Dell, Inc., Texas Instruments, Perot Systems, Rackspace and AT&T.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (NASA JSC) located in Southeast Houston, sits as the crown jewel of Texas's aeronautics industry. Fort Worth hosts both Lockheed Martin's Aeronautics division and Bell Helicopter Textron.[149][150] Lockheed builds the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the largest Western fighter program, and its successor, the F-35 Lightning II in Fort Worth.[151]
Commerce[link]
Texas's affluence stimulates a strong commercial sector consisting of retail, wholesale, banking and insurance, and construction industries. Examples of Fortune 500 companies not based on Texas traditional industries are AT&T, Kimberly-Clark, Blockbuster, J. C. Penney, Whole Foods Market, and Tenet Healthcare.[152] Nationally, the Dallas–Fort Worth area, home to the second shopping mall in the United States, has the most shopping malls per capita of any American metropolitan area.[153]
Mexico, the state's largest trading partner, imports a third of the state's exports because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). NAFTA has encouraged the formation of controversial maquiladoras on the Texas/Mexico border.[154]
Demographics[link]
Main article: Demographics of Texas
Texas population density mapThe United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Texas was 25,674,681 on July 1, 2011, a 2.10% increase since the 2010 United States Census.[5] The state's rate of natural increase (births and deaths) since the last census was 1,389,275 people, immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 801,576 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase of 451,910 people.[3] As of 2004, the state had 3.5 million foreign-born residents (15.6 percent of the state population), of which an estimated 1.2 million are illegal aliens. Texas from 2000–2006 had the fastest growing illegal immigration rate in the nation.[155] In 2010, illegal aliens constituted an estimated 6.0% of the population. This was the fifth highest percentage of any state in the country.[156][157]
Texas's population density is 34.8 persons/km2 which is slightly higher than the average population density of the US as a whole, at 31 persons/km2. In contrast, while Texas and France are similarly sized geographically, the European country has a population density of 116 persons/km2.
Two-thirds of all Texans live in a major metropolitan area such as Houston. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area is the largest in Texas. While Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States, the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is considerably larger than that of Houston.

According to the 2010 United States census, the racial and ethnic composition of Texas was the following:
- White: 70.4% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 45.3%)
- Black or African American: 11.8%
- Native American: 0.7%
- Asian: 3.8% (1.0% Indian, 0.8% Vietnamese, 0.6% Chinese, 0.4% Filipino, 0.3% Korean, 0.2% Pakistani, 0.07% Japanese, 0.05% Laotian, 0.05% Cambodian)
- Pacific Islander: 0.1% (0.02% Guamanian, 0.01% Samoan, 0.01% Tongan, 0.01% Native Hawaiian)
- Some other race: 10.5%
- Two or more races: 2.7%
- Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 37.6% (31.6% Mexican, 0.5% Puerto Rican, 0.2% Cuban)
White Americans are the racial majority in Texas. However, non-Hispanic whites represent roughly 48% of the population; therefore, Texas is a minority-majority state. Just over 17,020,000 Texans are white (both non-Hispanic and Hispanic), and roughly 11.4 million are non-Hispanic whites. German, Irish, and English Americans are the three largest European ancestry groups in Texas. German Americans make up 11.3% of the population, and number over 2.7 million members. Irish Americans make up 8.2% of the population, and number over 1.9 million members. There are roughly 600,000 French Americans and 472,000 Italian Americans residing in Texas; these two ethnic groups make up 2.5% and 2.0% of the population respectively. In the 1980 United States census the largest ancestry group reported in Texas was English with 3,083,323 Texans citing that they were of English or mostly English ancestry making them 27% of the state at the time.[158] Their ancestry primarily goes back to the original thirteen colonies and for this reason many of them today simply claim "American" ancestry, though they are of predominately English stock.
Black Americans are the largest racial minority in Texas. Blacks of both Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin make up 11.5% of the population; blacks of non-Hispanic origin form 11.3% of the populace. Black Americans of both Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin number at roughly 2.7 million individuals.
Native Americans are a smaller minority in the state. Native Americans make up 0.5% of Texas' population, and number over 118,000 individuals. Native Americans of non-Hispanic origin make up 0.3% of the population, and number over 75,000 individuals. Cherokee Indians made up 0.1% of the population, and numbered over 19,400 members. In contrast, only 583 were identified as Chippewa.
Asian Americans are a sizable minority group in Texas. Americans of Asian descent form 3.8% of the population, with those of non-Hispanic descent making up 3.7% of the populace. Altogether, they number over 808,000 individuals. Non-Hispanic Asians number over 795,000. Just over 200,000 Indians make Texas their home. Texas is also home to over 187,000 Vietnamese and 136,000 Chinese. In addition to 92,000 Filipinos and 62,000 Koreans, there are 18,000 Japanese Americans living in the state. Lastly, over 111,000 people are of other Asian ancestry groups, such as Cambodian, Thai, and Hmong. Sugar Land, a city within the Houston metropolitan area, and Plano, located within the Dallas metropolitan area, both have high concentrations of Chinese and Korean residents. The Houston and Dallas areas, and to a lesser extent, the Austin metropolitan area, all contain substantial Vietnamese communities.
Americans with origins from the Pacific are the smallest minority in Texas. According to the survey, only 18,000 Texans are Pacific Islanders; 16,400 are of non-Hispanic descent. There are roughly 5,400 Native Hawaiians, 5,300 Guamanians, and 6,400 people from other groups. Samoan Americans were very scant; only 2,920 people were from this group. The city of Euless, a suburb of Fort Worth, contains a sizable population of Tongan Americans, at nearly 900 people, over one percent of the city's population. Killeen has a sufficient population of Samoans and Guamanian, and people of Pacific Islander descent surpass one percent of the city's population.
Multiracial individuals are also a visible minority in Texas. People of multiracial heritage form 1.9% of the population, and number over 448,000 people. Almost 80,000 Texans claim European and African heritage, and make up 0.3% of the population. People of European and Native American heritage number over 108,800 (close to the number of Native Americans), and make up 0.5% of the population. People of European and Asian heritage number over 57,600, and form just 0.2% of the population. People of African and Native American heritage were even smaller in number (15,300), and make up just 0.1% of the total population.
Hispanics and Latinos are the second largest group in Texas after non-Hispanic European Americans. Over 8.5 million people claim Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This group forms 36% of Texas' population. People of Mexican descent alone number over 7.3 million, and make up 30.7% of the population. Over 104,000 Puerto Ricans live in the state. Roughly 38,000 Cubans reside in the state. Over 1.1 million people (4.7% of the population) are of varying Hispanic and Latino ancestries, such as Costa Rican, Venezuelan, and Argentine.[159][160]
German descendants inhabit much of central and southeast-central Texas. Over one-third of Texas residents are of Hispanic origin;[161] while many have recently arrived, some Tejanos have ancestors with multi-generational ties to 18th century Texas. In addition to the descendants of the state's former slave population, many African American college graduates have come to the state for work recently in the New Great Migration.[162] Recently, the Asian population in Texas has grown—primarily in Houston and Dallas. Other communities with a significantly growing Asian American population is in Austin, Corpus Christi, and the Sharyland area next McAllen, Texas. Currently, three federally recognized Native American tribes reside in Texas: the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe, the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe, and the Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo.[38]
In 2010, 49% of all births were Hispanics; 35% were non-Hispanic whites; 11.5% were non-Hispanic blacks, and 4.3% were Asians/Pacific Islanders.[163] Based on Census Bureau data released at Medio February 2011, for the first time in recent history, Texas' white population is below 50 percent (45 percent) and Hispanics grew to 38 percent. Between 2000 and 2010, the total population growth by 20.6 percent, but Hispanics growth by 65 percent, whereas non-Hispanic whites only grew by 4.2 percent.[164]
Cities and towns[link]
See also: List of cities in Texas, List of counties in Texas, List of Texas metropolitan areas, and Population of Texas cities in 2000The state has three cities with populations exceeding one million: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas.[165] These three rank among the 10 most populous cities of the United States. As of 2000, six Texas cities had populations greater than 500,000 people. Austin, Fort Worth, and El Paso are among the 25 largest U.S. cities. Texas has four metropolitan areas with populations greater than a million: Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington, Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown, San Antonio–New Braunfels, and Austin–Round Rock–San Marcos. The Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas number about 6.3 million and 5.7 million residents, respectively. Three interstate highways—I-35 to the west (Dallas–Fort Worth to San Antonio, with Austin in between), I-45 to the east (Dallas to Houston), and I-10 to the south (San Antonio to Houston) define the Texas Urban Triangle region. The region of 60,000 square miles (160,000 km2) contains most of the state's largest cities and metropolitan areas as well as 17 million people, nearly 75 percent of Texas's total population.[166] Houston and Dallas have been recognized as beta world cities.[167] These cities are spread out amongst the state. Texas has 254 counties, which is more than any state by 95 (Georgia).[168]
In contrast to the cities, unincorporated rural settlements known as colonias often lack basic infrastructure and are marked by poverty.[169] As of 2007, Texas had at least 2,294 colonias, located primarily along the state's 1,248-mile (2,008 km) border with Mexico.[169] Texas has the largest concentration of people, approximately 400,000, living in colonias.

Known as the buckle of the Bible Belt, East Texas is socially conservative.[173] Dallas-Fort Worth is home to three major evangelical seminaries and a host of monasteries. Lakewood Church in Houston, boasts the largest attendance in the nation averaging more than 43,000 weekly.[174] Lubbock, according to local lore, has the most churches per capita in the nation.[173]
Adherents of many non-Christian religions reside predominantly in the urban centers of Texas. In 1990, the Islamic population stood at approximately 140,000 with more recent figures putting the current population of Muslims between 350,000 to 400,000.[175] The Jewish population stands at around 128,000.[176] Approximately 146,000 adherents of non-Abrahamic religions such as Hinduism and Sikhism live in Texas.[177]
Culture[link]
Main article: Culture of TexasSee also: List of people from Texas and List of Texas symbols
The Alamo is one of the most recognized symbols of Texas.Historically, the whole of Texas culture comes from a blend of Southern (Dixie), Western (frontier), and Southwestern (Mexican/Anglo fusion) influences, varying in degrees of such from one intrastate region to another. A popular food item, the breakfast burrito, draws from all three, having a soft flour tortilla wrapped around bacon and scrambled eggs or other hot, cooked fillings. Adding to Texas's traditional culture, established in the 18th and 19th centuries, immigration has made Texas a melting pot of cultures from around the world.
Arts[link]
Further information: Music of Texas
Houston is one of only five American cities with permanent professional resident companies in all of the major performing arts disciplines: the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Ballet, and The Alley Theatre.[178] Known for the vibrancy of its visual and performing arts, the Houston Theatre District—a 17-block area in the heart of Downtown Houston— ranks second in the country in the number of theater seats in a concentrated downtown area, with 12,948 seats for live performances and 1,480 movie seats.[178]
Founded in 1892, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, also called "The Modern", is Texas's oldest art museum. Fort Worth also has the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and the Bass Performance Hall downtown. The Arts District of Downtown Dallas has arts venues such as the Dallas Museum of Art, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, the Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art, and the Nasher Sculpture Center.[179]
The Deep Ellum district within Dallas became popular during the 1920s and 1930s as the prime jazz and blues hotspot in the Southern United States. The name Deep Ellum comes from local people pronouncing "Deep Elm" as "Deep Ellum".[180] Artists such as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, and Bessie Smith played in early Deep Ellum clubs.[181]
Austin, The Live Music Capital of the World, boasts "more live music venues per capita than such music hotbeds as Nashville, Memphis, Los Angeles, Las Vegas or New York City."[182] The city's music revolves around the nightclubs on 6th Street; events like the film, music, and multimedia festival South by Southwest; the longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin City Limits; and the Austin City Limits Music Festival held in Zilker Park.[183]
Since 1980, San Antonio has evolved into the "The Tejano Music Capital Of The World."[184] The Tejano Music Awards have provided a forum to create greater awareness and appreciation for Tejano music and culture.[185]
Education[link]
Main article: Education in TexasThe second president of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, is the Father of Texas Education. During his term, the state set aside three leagues of land in each county for equipping public schools. An additional 50 leagues of land set aside for the support of two universities would later become the basis of the state's Permanent University Fund.[186] Lamar's actions set the foundation for a Texas-wide public school system.[187] Texas ranked 29th in the American Legislative Exchange Council's Report Card on American Education. Texas students ranked higher than average in mathematics, but lower in reading. Between 2006–2007, Texas spent $7,275 per pupil ranking it below the national average of $9,389. The pupil/teacher ratio was 14.9, below the national average of 15.3. Texas paid instructors $41,744, below the national average of $46,593. The state provided 88.0% of the funding for education, the federal government 12.0%.[188]
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) administers the state's public school systems. Texas has over 1,000 school districts- all districts except the Stafford Municipal School District are independent from municipal government and many cross city boundaries.[189] School districts have the power to tax their residents and to assert eminent domain over privately owned property. Due to court-mandated equitable school financing for school districts, the state has a controversial tax redistribution system called the"Robin Hood plan". This plan transfers property tax revenue from wealthy school districts to poor ones.[190] The TEA has no authority over private or home school activities.[191]
Students in Texas take the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in primary and secondary school. TAKS assess students' attainment of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies skills required under Texas education standards and the No Child Left Behind Act. In spring 2007, Texas legislators replaced the TAKS for freshmen in the 2011–2012 school year and onward with End of Course exams for core high school classes.[192]
Colleges and universities[link]
Further information: List of colleges and universities in TexasTexas's controversial alternative affirmative action plan, Texas House Bill 588, guarantees Texas students who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class automatic admission to state-funded universities. The bill encourages diversity while avoiding problems stemming from the Hopwood v. Texas (1996) case.
Six state university systems and four independent public universities exist in Texas.[193][194] Discovery of minerals on Permanent University Fund land, particularly oil, has helped fund the rapid growth the state's largest university systems: University of Texas and Texas A&M. The PUF principal in fall 2005 was approximately $15 billion, second in size only to Harvard University's endowment.[186][195] The other four university systems are the University of Houston, the University of North Texas, Texas State, and Texas Tech.
Texas has three nationally recognized top-tier public research universities: The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston.[196][197][198][199] The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University are flagship universities of the state of Texas. Both were established by the Texas Constitution and hold stakes in the Permanent University Fund. The state has been putting effort to expand the number of flagship universities by elevating some of its seven institutions designated as "emerging research universities." The two that are expected to emerge first are the University of Houston and Texas Tech University, likely in that order according to discussions during the 82nd Texas Legislature.[200]
The state is home to many private institutions ranging from liberal arts colleges to a nationally recognized top-tier research university. Rice University in Houston is one of the leading teaching and research universities of the United States and is ranked the nation's 17th-best overall university by U.S. News & World Report.[201]
Sam Houston State University was the first college established in Texas specifically for training teachers. Sam Houston State is located in Huntsville, Texas, which is were Texas Hero Sam Houston died. Additionally, Trinity University, a private, primarily undergraduate liberal arts university in San Antonio, has ranked first among universities granting primarily bachelor's and select master's degrees in the western United States for 20 consecutive years by U.S. News.[202] The former republic chartered the private universities Baylor University, University of Mary Hardin–Baylor, and Southwestern University.[203][204]
Universities in Texas currently host two presidential libraries: George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum at The University of Texas at Austin. An agreement has been reached to create a third; the George W. Bush Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University.
Healthcare[link]
See also: List of hospitals in TexasThe Commonwealth Fund ranks the Texas healthcare system the third worst in the nation.[205] Texas ranks close to last in access to healthcare, quality of care, avoidable hospital spending, and equity among various groups.[205] Causes of the state's poor rankings include politics, a high poverty rate, and the highest rate of illegal immigration in the nation.[155] In May 2006, Texas initiated the program "code red" in response to the report that the state had 25.1% of the population without health insurance, the largest proportion in the nation.[206] Texas also has controversial non-economic damages caps for medical malpractice lawsuits, set at $250,000, in an attempt to "curb rising malpractice premiums, and control escalating healthcare costs".[207]
The Trust for America's Health ranked Texas 15th highest in adult obesity, with 27.2% of the state's population measured as obese.[208] The 2008 Men's Health obesity survey ranked four Texas cities among the top 25 fattest cities in America; Houston ranked 6th, Dallas 7th, El Paso 8th, and Arlington 14th.[209] Texas had only one city, Austin, ranked 21st, in the top 25 among the "fittest cities" in America.[209] The same survey has evaluated the state's obesity initiatives favorably with a "B+".[209] The state is ranked forty-second in the percentage of residents who engage in regular exercise.[210]
Medical research[link]
Aerial of Texas Medical Center in HoustonMany elite research medical centers are located in Texas. The state has nine medical schools,[211] three dental schools,[212] and two optometry schools.[213] Texas has two Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories: one at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston,[214] and the other at the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio—the first privately owned BSL-4 lab in the United States.[215]
The Texas Medical Center in Houston, holds the world's largest concentration of research and healthcare institutions, with 47 member institutions.[216] Texas Medical Center performs the most heart transplants in the world.[217] The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston is a highly regarded academic institution that centers around cancer patient care, research, education and prevention.[218]
San Antonio's South Texas Medical Center facilities rank sixth in clinical medicine research impact in the United States.[219] The University of Texas Health Science Center is another highly ranked research and educational institution in San Antonio.[220][221]
Both the American Heart Association and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center call Dallas home. The Southwestern Medical Center ranks "among the top academic medical centers in the world".[222] The institution's medical school employs the most medical school Nobel laureates in the world.[222][223]
Environment[link]
Texas emits far more greenhouse gases than any other state, with Port Arthur having some of the dirtiest air in the United States. In 2010, there were 2,553 "emission events" which poured 44.6 million pounds of contaminants in the Texas sky.[224]
Transportation[link]
Main article: Transportation in Texas
Texans have historically had difficulties traversing Texas due to the state's large size and rough terrain. Texas has compensated by building both America's largest highway and railway systems in terms of length. The regulatory authority, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintains the state's immense highway system, regulates aviation,[225] and public transportation systems.[226] Located centrally in North America, the state is an important transportation hub. From the Dallas/Fort Worth area, trucks can reach 93% of the nation's population within 48 hours, and 37% within 24 hours.[227] Texas has 33 foreign trade zones (FTZ), the most in the nation.[228] In 2004, a combined total of $298 billion of goods passed though Texas FTZs.[228]
Highways[link]
Main article: Texas state highwaysTexans have heavily traveled their freeways since the 1948 opening of the Gulf Freeway in Houston.[229] As of 2005, 79,535 miles (127,999 km) of public highway crisscrossed Texas (up from 71,000 miles (114,263 km) in 1984).[230] To fund recent growth in the state highways, Texas has 17 toll roads (see list) with several additional tollways proposed.[231] In west Texas, both I-10 and I-20 have speed limits of 80 miles per hour (130 km/h), the highest in the nation.[232] All federal and state highways in Texas are paved.
In March 2011, Texas ranked as a bottom-ten "Worst" state (tied with Montana and North Dakota) in the American State Litter Scorecard, presented at the American Society for Public Administration national conference. Public roadways in the Lone Star State suffer from an overall poor quality of landscape cleanliness, attributed to ineffective roadside and adjacent property litter/debris abatement standards, seemingly politicized procedural efforts, and other relevant public performance indicators.[233]
Airports[link]
See also: List of airports in TexasTexas has 730 airports, second most of any state in the nation. Largest in Texas by size and passengers served, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is the second largest by area in the United States, and fourth in the world with 18,076 acres (73.15 km2).[234] In traffic, DFW is the busiest in the state and the fourth in the United States,[235] and sixth worldwide.[236] AMR Corporation's American / American Eagle, the world's third largest airline in total passengers-miles transported (after Delta and United) and passenger fleet size,[237] uses DFW as its largest and main hub. Southwest Airlines, also headquartered in Dallas, has its operations currently at Dallas Love Field.[238] It ranks as the largest airline in the United States by number of passengers carried domestically per year and the largest airline in the world by number of passengers carried.[239]
Texas's second-largest air facility is Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) with. It serves as Houston based Continental Airlines's largest hub. IAH offers service to the most Mexican destinations of any U.S. airport.[240][241] The next four largest airports in the state all serve over 4 million passengers annually; they include:Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, William P. Hobby Airport, San Antonio International Airport, and Dallas Love Field. The smallest airport in the state to be designated an international airport is Del Rio International Airport.
Ports[link]
Main article: List of ports in the United StatesAround 1,150 seaports dot Texas's coast with over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of channels.[242] Ports employ nearly one-million people and handle an average of 317 million metric tons.[243] Texas ports connect with the rest of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard with the Gulf section of the Intracoastal Waterway.[242] The Port of Houston today is the busiest port in the United States in foreign tonnage, second in overall tonnage, and tenth worldwide in tonnage.[244] The Houston Ship Channel currently spans 530 feet (160 m) wide by 45 feet (14 m) deep by 50 miles (80 km) long.[245]
Railroads[link]
See also: List of Texas railroadsPart of the state's tradition originates from cattle drives in which drovers herded livestock to railroads in Kansas. The first railroad to operate in Texas was the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway, opening in August 1853.[246] The first railroad to enter Texas from the north, completed in 1872, was the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.[247] Since 1911, Texas has led the nation in railroad length. Texas railway length peaked in 1932 at 17,078 miles (27,484 km), but declined to 14,006 miles (22,540 km) by 2000. While the Railroad Commission of Texas originally regulated state railroads, in 2005 the state reassigned these duties to TxDOT.[248]
Both Dallas and Houston feature light rail systems. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) built the first light rail system in the Southwest United States.[249] The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) commuter rail service that links Fort Worth and Dallas is provided by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T) and DART.[250] In the Austin area Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates a commuter rail service known as Capital MetroRail to the northwestern suburbs. The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO) operates light rail lines in the Houston area.
Amtrak provides Texas limited intercity passenger rail service both in size and frequency. Just three scheduled routes serve the state: the daily Texas Eagle (Chicago–San Antonio); the tri-weekly Sunset Limited (New Orleans–Los Angeles), with stops in Texas; and the daily Heartland Flyer (Fort Worth–Oklahoma City).

Sports[link]
Main article: Sports in TexasFurther information: List of Texas sports teams, and List of University Interscholastic League eventsWhile American football has long been considered "king" in the state, Texans today enjoy a wide variety of sports.[251]
Texans can cheer for a plethora of professional sports teams. Within the "Big Four" professional leagues, Texas has two NFL teams (the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans), two Major League Baseball teams (the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros), three NBA teams (the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Dallas Mavericks), and one National Hockey League team (the Dallas Stars). The Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex is one of only thirteen American metropolitan areas that hosts sports teams from all the "Big Four" professional leagues. Outside of the "Big Four" leagues, Texas also has one WNBA team (the San Antonio Silver Stars) and two Major League Soccer teams (the Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas).
Collegiate athletics have deep significance in Texas culture, especially football. The state has ten Division I-FBS schools, the most in the nation. Four of the state's universities, the Baylor Bears, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, and Texas Tech Red Raiders, compete in the major athletics conference in the area, the Big 12 Conference. The TCU Horned Frogs will join the Big 12 in the summer of 2011, while Texas A&M Aggies depart for the Southeastern Conference. The Houston Cougars and the SMU Mustangs will join the Big East Conference in 2013. Four of the state's schools claim at least one national championship in football: the Texas Longhorns, the Texas A&M Aggies, the TCU Horned Frogs, and the SMU Mustangs.
According to a survey of Division I-A coaches the rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas, the Red River Shootout, ranks the third best in the nation.[252] The TCU Horned Frogs and SMU Mustangs also share a rivalry and compete annually in the Battle for the Iron Skillet. A fierce rivalry, the Lone Star Showdown, also exists between the state's two largest universities, Texas A&M University and the University of Texas. The athletics portion of the Lone Star Showdown rivalry will be put on hold when the Texas A&M Aggies join Southeastern Conference.
The University Interscholastic League (UIL) organizes most primary and secondary school competitions. Events organized by UIL include contests in athletics (the most popular being high school football) as well as artistic and academic subjects.[253]
Texans also enjoy the rodeo. The world's first rodeo was hosted in Pecos, Texas.[254] The annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is the largest rodeo in the world. It begins with trail rides that originate from several points throughout the state that convene at Reliant Park.[255] The Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show in Fort Worth is the oldest continuously running rodeo incorporating many of the state's most historic traditions into its annual events. Dallas hosts the State Fair of Texas each year at Fair Park.[256]
From 2012 Austin will play host to a round of the Formula 1 World Championship[257]—the first at a permanent road circuit in the United States since the 1980 Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International

InfluencedSignature 
Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was an English American[6][7] author and journalist whose career spanned more than four decades.[8] Hitchens, often referred to colloquially as "Hitch",[9] was a columnist and literary critic for New Statesman, The Atlantic, The Nation, The Daily Mirror, The Times Literary Supplement and Vanity Fair. He was an author of twelve books and five collections of essays. As a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits, he was a prominent public intellectual, and his confrontational style of debate made him both a lauded and controversial figure.
Hitchens was known for his admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, as well as for his excoriating critiques of various public figures including Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and Diana, Princess of Wales. Although he supported the Falklands War, his key split from the established political left began in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the Western left to the Rushdie Affair. The September 11 attacks strengthened his internationalist embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he called "fascism with an Islamic face." His numerous editorials in support of the Iraq War caused some to label him a neoconservative, although Hitchens insisted he was not "a conservative of any kind", and his friend Ian McEwan describes him as representing the anti-totalitarian left.[10][11]
A noted critic of religion and a self described "antitheist", he said that a person "could be an atheist and wish that belief in god were correct", but that "an antitheist, a term I'm trying to get into circulation, is someone who is relieved that there's no evidence for such an assertion."[12] According to Hitchens, the concept of a god or a supreme being is a totalitarian belief that destroys individual freedom, and that free expression and scientific discovery should replace religion as a means of teaching ethics and defining human civilization. His 2007 book, God Is Not Great, sold over 500,000 copies.
On 15 December 2011, Hitchens died from pneumonia, a complication of his cancer, in the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. A popular figure, his death prompted tributes and eulogies from a range of public figures, including Tony Blair, Richard Dawkins, Martin Amis, James Fenton, Nick Clegg, Stephen Fry and Bill Maher.

Life and career[link]
Early life and education[link]
His mother, Yvonne Jean (née Hickman), and father, Eric Ernest Hitchens (1909–1987), met in Scotland while both were serving in the Royal Navy during World War II.[13] Yvonne was at the time a "Wren" (a member of the Women's Royal Naval Service),[14] and Eric a "purse-lipped and silent" commander, whose ship HMS Jamaica helped sink Nazi Germany's battleship Scharnhorst in the Battle of the North Cape.[3] His father's naval career required the family to move a number of times from base to base throughout Britain and its dependencies, including in Malta, where Christopher's brother Peter was born in Sliema in 1951.
Hitchens's mother having argued that "if there is going to be an upper class in this country, then Christopher is going to be in it,"[15] he was sent off to Mount House School in Tavistock in Devon at the age of eight, followed by the independent Leys School in Cambridge, and then at Balliol College in Oxford, where he was tutored by Steven Lukes and read philosophy, politics, and economics. Hitchens was "bowled over" in his adolescence by Richard Llewellyn's How Green Was My Valley, Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, R. H. Tawney's critique on Religion and the Rise of Capitalism, and the works of George Orwell.[14] In 1968, he took part in the TV quiz show University Challenge.[16]
Hitchens has written of his homosexual experiences when in boarding school in his memoir, Hitch-22.[17] These experiences continued in his college years, when he allegedly had relationships with two men who eventually became a part of the Thatcher government.[18]
In the 1960s Hitchens joined the political left, drawn by his anger over the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons, racism, and "oligarchy", including that of "the unaccountable corporation". He would express affinity with the politically charged countercultural and protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s. However, he deplored the rife recreational drug use of the time, which he describes as hedonistic.[19]
He joined the Labour Party in 1965, but along with the majority of the Labour students' organization was expelled in 1967, because of what Hitchens called "Prime Minister Harold Wilson's contemptible support for the war in Vietnam".[20][clarification needed] Under the influence of Peter Sedgwick, who translated the writings of Russian revolutionary and Soviet dissident Victor Serge, Hitchens forged an ideological interest in Trotskyist and anti-Stalinist socialism.[14] Shortly after he joined "a small but growing post-Trotskyist Luxemburgist sect".[21]
Journalistic career (1970–1981)[link]
Hitchens began working as a correspondent for the magazine International Socialism,[22] published by the International Socialists, the forerunners of today's British Socialist Workers Party. This group was broadly Trotskyist, but differed from more orthodox Trotskyist groups in its refusal to defend communist states as "workers' states". Their slogan was "Neither Washington nor Moscow but International Socialism".
Hitchens left Oxford with a third class degree.[23] In 1971 he went to work at the Times Higher Education Supplement where he served as a social science correspondent.[24] Hitchens admitted that he hated the position, and was later fired; he recalled, "I sometimes think if I'd been any good at that job, I might still be doing it."[25] He then went on to become a researcher for ITV's Weekend World.[26] In 1973 he went on to work for the New Statesman, where he became friends with the authors Martin Amis and Ian McEwan, among others.[26] At the New Statesman he acquired a reputation as a fierce left-winger, aggressively attacking targets such as Henry Kissinger, the Vietnam War, and the Roman Catholic Church.
In November 1973, Hitchens' mother committed suicide in Athens in a suicide pact with her lover, a former clergyman named Timothy Bryan.[14] They overdosed on sleeping pills in adjoining hotel rooms, and Bryan slashed his wrists in the bathtub. Hitchens flew alone to Athens to recover his mother's body. Hitchens said he thought his mother was pressured into suicide by fear that her husband would learn of her infidelity, as their marriage had been strained and unhappy. Both her children were then independent adults. While in Greece, Hitchens reported on the constitutional crisis of the military junta. It became his first leading article for the New Statesman.[27]
In 1977, unhappy at the New Statesman, Hitchens defected to the Daily Express where he became a foreign correspondent.[26] He returned to the New Statesman in 1979 where he became foreign editor.[26]
American career (1981–2011)[link]
After moving to the United States in 1981, Hitchens wrote for The Nation, where he penned vociferous critiques of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and American foreign policy in South and Central America.[28][29][30][31][32][33][34] He became a contributing editor of Vanity Fair in 1992,[35] writing ten columns a year. In 2002 Asteroid 57901 Hitchens was named after him.[36] He left The Nation in 2002 after profoundly disagreeing with other contributors over the Iraq War. There is speculation that Hitchens was the inspiration for Tom Wolfe's character Peter Fallow in the 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities,[30] but others — including Hitchens (or he indicated as such while alive) — believe it to be Spy Magazine's "Ironman Nightlife Decathlete" Anthony Haden-Guest.[37][38] In 1987, his father died from cancer of the esophagus.[39] He became a media fellow at the Hoover Institution in September 2008.[40]
Hitchens spent part of his early career in journalism as a foreign correspondent in Cyprus.[41] Through his work there he met his first wife Eleni Meleagrou, a Greek Cypriot, with whom he had two children, Alexander and Sophia. His son, Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, born in 1984, has worked as a researcher for London think tanks the Policy Exchange and the Centre for Social Cohesion. Hitchens continued writing essay-style correspondence pieces from a variety of locales, including Chad, Uganda[42] and the Darfur region of Sudan.[43] His work took him to over 60 countries.[44] In 1991 he received a Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction.[45]
Before Hitchens' political shift, the American author and polemicist Gore Vidal was apt to speak of Hitchens as his "Dauphin" or "heir".[46][47][48] In 2010, Hitchens attacked Vidal in a Vanity Fair piece headlined "Vidal Loco," calling him a "crackpot" for his adoption of 9/11 conspiracy theories.[49][50] Also, on the back of his book Hitch-22, among the praise from notable writers and figures, a Vidal quote endorsing Hitchens as his successor is crossed out with a red 'X' and a message saying "NO C.H." His strong advocacy of the war in Iraq had gained Hitchens a wider readership, and in September 2005 he was named one of the "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines.[51] An online poll ranked the 100 intellectuals, but the magazines noted that the rankings of Hitchens (5), Noam Chomsky (1), and Abdolkarim Soroush (15) were partly due to supporters publicising the vote.[52]
In 2007 Hitchens' work for Vanity Fair won him the National Magazine Award in the category "Columns and Commentary".[53] He was a finalist once more in the same category in 2008 for some of his columns in Slate but lost out to Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone.[54] He won the National Magazine Award for Columns about Cancer in 2011.[55][56] Hitchens also served on the Advisory Board of Secular Coalition for America and offered advice to Coalition on the acceptance and inclusion of nontheism in American life.[57]
Literature reviews[link]
Hitchens wrote a monthly essay on books in The Atlantic[58] and contributed occasionally to other literary journals. One of his books, Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere, is a collection of such works, and Love, Poverty and War contains a section devoted to literary essays. In Why Orwell Matters, he defends Orwell's writings against modern critics as relevant today and progressive for his time. In the 2008 book Christopher Hitchens and His Critics: Terror, Iraq, and the Left, many literary critiques are included of essays and other books of writers, such as David Horowitz and Edward Said.
During a three-hour interview by Book TV,[3] he named authors who have had influence on his views, including Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, P. G. Wodehouse and Conor Cruise O'Brien.
Political views[link]
Main article: Christopher Hitchens's political viewsMy own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line and kiss my ass. – Christopher Hitchens[59] The San Francisco Chronicle referred to Hitchens as a "gadfly with gusto".[60] In 2009, Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the "25 most influential liberals in the U.S. media".[61] However, the same article noted that he would "likely be aghast to find himself on this list", since it reduces his self-styled radicalism to mere liberalism. Hitchens' political perspective can be found in his wide ranging writings which include many of the political dialogues he published.
Socialism[link]
Hitchens became a socialist "largely [as] the outcome of a study of history, taking sides ... in the battles over industrialism and war and empire." In 2001, he told Rhys Southan of Reason magazine that he could no longer say "I am a socialist." Socialists, he claimed, had ceased to offer a positive alternative to the capitalist system. Capitalism had become the more revolutionary economic system, and he welcomed globalisation as "innovative and internationalist", but added, "I don't think that the contradictions, as we used to say, of the system, are by any means all resolved." He stated that he had a renewed interest in the freedom of the individual from the state, but that he still considered libertarianism "ahistorical" both on the world stage and in the work of creating a stable and functional society, adding that libertarians are "more worried about the over-mighty state than the unaccountable corporation" whereas "the present state of affairs ... combines the worst of bureaucracy with the worst of the insurance companies."[62]
In 2006, in a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania debating the Jewish Tradition with Martin Amis, Hitchens commented on his political philosophy by stating, "I am no longer a socialist, but I still am a Marxist".[63] In a June 2010 interview with The New York Times, he stated that "I still think like a Marxist in many ways. I think the materialist conception of history is valid. I consider myself a very conservative Marxist".[64] In 2009, in an article for The Atlantic entitled "The Revenge of Karl Marx", Hitchens frames the late-2000s recession in terms of Marx's economic analysis and notes how much Marx admired the capitalist system he was calling for the end of, but says that Marx ultimately failed to grasp how revolutionary capitalist innovation was.[65] Hitchens was an admirer of Che Guevara, commenting that "[Che's] death meant a lot to me and countless like me at the time, he was a role model, albeit an impossible one for us bourgeois romantics insofar as he went and did what revolutionaries were meant to do — fought and died for his beliefs."[66] However, in an essay written in 1997, he distanced himself from Che, and referred to the mythos surrounding him as a "cult".[67]
He continued to regard both Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky as great men,[68][69] and the October Revolution as a necessary event in the modernization of Russia.[21][30] In 2005, Hitchens praised Lenin's creation of "secular Russia" and his discrediting of the Russian Orthodox Church, describing it as "an absolute warren of backwardness and evil and superstition".[21]
Iraq War and the war on terror[link]
In the years after the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie, Hitchens became increasingly critical of what he called "excuse making" on the left. At the same time, he was attracted to the foreign policy ideas of some on the Republican-right that promoted pro-liberalism intervention, especially the neoconservative group that included Paul Wolfowitz.[70] Around this time, he befriended the Iraqi dissident and businessman Ahmed Chalabi.[71] In 2004, Hitchens stated that neoconservative support for US intervention in Iraq convinced him that he was "on the same side as the neo-conservatives" when it came to contemporary foreign policy issues.[72] Hitchens had also been known to refer to his association with "temporary neocon allies".[73]
Following the September 11 attacks, Hitchens and Noam Chomsky debated the nature of radical Islam and the proper response to it. In October 2001, Hitchens wrote criticisms of Chomsky in The Nation.[74][75] Chomsky responded[76] and Hitchens issued a rebuttal to Chomsky[77] to which Chomsky again responded.[78] Approximately a year after the September 11 attacks and his exchanges with Chomsky, Hitchens left The Nation, claiming that its editors, readers and contributors considered John Ashcroft a bigger threat than Osama bin Laden,[79] and that they were making excuses on behalf of Islamist terrorism; in the following months he wrote articles increasingly at odds with his colleagues.
Christopher Hitchens argued the case for the Iraq War in a 2003 collection of essays entitled A Long Short War: The Postponed Liberation of Iraq, and he held numerous public debates on the topic with George Galloway[80] and Scott Ritter.[81]
Criticism of George W. Bush[link]
Prior to September 11, 2001, and the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, Hitchens was highly critical of Bush's "non-interventionist" foreign policy. He also criticized Bush's support of intelligent design[82] and capital punishment.[83][83]
Although Hitchens defended Bush's post-September 11 foreign policy, he criticized the actions of U.S. troops in Abu Ghraib and Haditha, and the U.S. government's use of waterboarding, which he unhesitatingly deemed as torture after being invited by Vanity Fair to voluntarily undergo it.[84][85] In January 2006, Hitchens joined with four other individuals and four organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union and Greenpeace, as plaintiffs in a lawsuit, ACLU v. NSA, challenging Bush's warrantless domestic spying program; the lawsuit was filed by the ACLU.[86][87][88]
Presidential endorsements[link]
Hitchens would elaborate on his political views and ideological shift in a discussion with Eric Alterman on Bloggingheads.tv. In this discussion Hitchens revealed himself to be a supporter of Ralph Nader in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, who was disenchanted with the candidacy of both George W. Bush and Al Gore.[89]
Hitchens speaking at a September 2000 third party protest at the headquarters of the Commission on Presidential DebatesHitchens made a brief return to The Nation just before the 2004 U.S. presidential election and wrote that he was "slightly" for Bush; shortly afterwards, Slate polled its staff on their positions on the candidates and mistakenly printed Hitchens' vote as pro-John Kerry. Hitchens shifted his opinion to "neutral", saying: "It's absurd for liberals to talk as if Kristallnacht is impending with Bush, and it's unwise and indecent for Republicans to equate Kerry with capitulation. There's no one to whom he can surrender, is there? I think that the nature of the jihadist enemy will decide things in the end".[90]
In the 2008 presidential election, Hitchens in an article for Slate stated, "I used to call myself a single-issue voter on the essential question of defending civilization against its terrorist enemies and their totalitarian protectors, and on that 'issue' I hope I can continue to expose and oppose any ambiguity." He was critical of both main party candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain. Hitchens went on to support Obama, calling McCain "senile", and his choice of running mate Sarah Palin "absurd", calling Palin a "pathological liar" and a "national disgrace".[91]
Blumenthal–Hitchens feud[link]
Hitchens and Carol Blue chose to submit an affidavit to the trial managers of the Republican Party in the trial of impeachment of Bill Clinton. In the affidavit, Blue and Hitchens swore that their then-friend, Sidney Blumenthal, had described Monica Lewinsky as a stalker. This allegation contradicted Blumenthal's own sworn deposition in the trial,[92] and it resulted in a hostile exchange of opinion in the public sphere between Hitchens and Blumenthal. Following the publication of Blumenthal's The Clinton Wars, Hitchens wrote several pieces in which he accused Blumenthal of manipulating the facts.[92][93]
Israel–Palestine[link]
Hitchens had said of himself, "I am an Anti-Zionist. I'm one of those people of Jewish descent who believes that Zionism would be a mistake even if there were no Palestinians."[94]
A review of his autobiography Hitch-22 in the Jewish Daily Forward refers to Hitchens as "a prominent anti-Zionist" and says that he views Zionism "as an injustice against the Palestinians".[95] Others have commented on his anti-Zionism as well[96] suggesting that his memoir was "marred by the occasional eruption of [his] anti-Zionism".[97] The Jewish Daily Forward quoted him saying of Israel's prospects for the future, "I have never been able to banish the queasy inner suspicion that Israel just did not look, or feel, either permanent or sustainable."[95]
In Slate, Hitchens pondered the notion that, instead of curing antisemitism through the creation of a Jewish state, "Zionism has only replaced and repositioned"[98] it, saying: "there are three groups of 6 million Jews. The first 6 million live in what the Zionist movement used to call Palestine. The second 6 million live in the United States. The third 6 million are distributed mainly among Russia, France, Britain, and Argentina. Only the first group lives daily in range of missiles that can be (and are) launched by people who hate Jews." Hitchens argued that instead of supporting Zionism, Jews should help "secularize and reform their own societies", believing that unless one is religious, "what the hell are you doing in the greater Jerusalem area in the first place?" Indeed, Hitchens goes so far as to claim that the only justification for Zionism given by Jews is a religious one.[99]
During a town hall function in Pennsylvania with Martin Amis, Hitchens stated that "one must not insult or degrade or humiliate people"[100] and that he "would be opposed to this maltreatment of the Palestinians if it took place on a remote island with no geopolitical implications". Hitchens described Zionism as "an ethno-nationalist quasi-religious ideology" and stated his desire that if possible, he would "re-wind the tape [to] stop Hertzl from telling the initial demagogic lie (actually two lies) that a land without a people needs a people without a land".
He continued to say that Zionism "nonetheless has founded a sort of democratic state which isn't any worse in its practice than many others with equally dubious origins." He stated that settlement in order to achieve security for Israel is "doomed to fail in the worst possible way", and the cessation of this "appallingly racist and messianic delusion" would "confront the internal clerical and chauvinist forces which want to instate a theocracy for Jews". However, Hitchens contended that the "solution of withdrawal would not satisfy the jihadists" and wondered "What did they imagine would be the response of the followers of the Prophet [Muhammad]?" Hitchens bemoaned the transference into religious terrorism of Arab secularism as a means of democratization: "the most depressing and wretched spectacle of the past decade, for all those who care about democracy and secularism, has been the degeneration of Palestinian Arab nationalism into the theocratic and thanatocratic hell of Hamas and Islamic Jihad".[98] He maintained that the Israel-Palestine conflict is a "trivial squabble" that has become "so dangerous to all of us" because of "the faith-based element."[100]
Hitchens collaborated on this issue with prominent Palestinian advocate Edward Said, in 1988 publishing Blaming the Victims: Spurious Scholarship and the Palestinian Question.
Domestic policy[link]
Hitchens actively supported drug policy reform and called for the abolition of the "War on Drugs" which he described as an "authoritarian war" during a debate with William F. Buckley.[19] He supported the legalization of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes, citing it as a cure for glaucoma and as treatment for numerous side-effects induced by chemotherapy, including severe nausea, describing the prohibition of the drug as "sadistic".[101] On the issue of abortion, Hitchens prioritized in affirming that he believed a fetus should be regarded as an "unborn child", but opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade and supported the development of medical abortion techniques, and fundamentally believed in access to contraceptives and reproductive rights as "the only thing that is known to cure poverty", and in order to prevent surgical abortion altogether.[102][103]
Other[link]
Other issues Hitchens wrote on the subjects of included his support for the reunification of Ireland,[104][105] abolition of the British monarchy,[106] and his condemnation of the war crimes of Slobodan Milošević[107] and Franjo Tuđman[108] in Yugoslavia, and the Bosnian War.[109]
Critiques of specific individuals[link]
Hitchens was known for his scathing critiques of public figures. Three figures — Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and Mother Teresa — were the targets of three separate full length texts, No One Left to Lie To: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, and The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice. Hitchens also wrote book-length biographical essays about Thomas Jefferson (Thomas Jefferson: Author of America), George Orwell (Why Orwell Matters), and Thomas Paine (Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man": A Biography).
However, the majority of Hitchens's critiques took the form of short opinion pieces, some of the more notable being his critiques of: Jerry Falwell,[110][111] George Galloway,[112] Mel Gibson,[113] Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama,[114] Michael Moore,[115] Daniel Pipes,[116] Ronald Reagan,[117] Jesse Helms,[118] and Cindy Sheehan.[21][119]When comedian Bob Hope died in 2003, Hitchens wrote an attack piece on him, calling Hope "a fool and nearly a clown, but he was never even remotely a comedian" and "Quick, then—what is your favorite Bob Hope gag? It wouldn't take you long if I challenged you on Milton Berle, or Woody Allen, or John Cleese, or even Lenny Bruce or Mort Sahl. By this time tomorrow, I bet you haven't come up with a real joke for which Hope could take credit." Critics however argued that Hitchens focused solely on Hope's declining years and ignored his heyday in the 1940s.[120]
Views on religion[link]
See also: God Is Not GreatHitchens often spoke out against the Abrahamic religions, or what he called "the three great monotheisms" (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). He said: "The real axis of evil is Christianity, Judaism, and Islam".[cite this quote] In his book, God Is Not Great, Hitchens expanded his criticism to include all religions, including those rarely criticized by Western secularists such as Hinduism and neo-paganism. His book had mixed reactions, from praise in The New York Times for his "logical flourishes and conundrums"[121] to accusations of "intellectual and moral shabbiness" in the Financial Times.[122] God Is Not Great was nominated for a National Book Award on 10 October 2007.[123][124]
Hitchens contended that organized religion is "the main source of hatred in the world",[125] "[v]iolent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children", and that accordingly it "ought to have a great deal on its conscience". In God Is Not Great, Hitchens contends that:
[A]bove all, we are in need of a renewed Enlightenment, which will base itself on the proposition that the proper study of mankind is man and woman [referencing Alexander Pope]. This Enlightenment will not need to depend, like its predecessors, on the heroic breakthroughs of a few gifted and exceptionally courageous people. It is within the compass of the average person. The study of literature and poetry, both for its own sake and for the eternal ethical questions with which it deals, can now easily depose the scrutiny of sacred texts that have been found to be corrupt and confected. The pursuit of unfettered scientific inquiry, and the availability of new findings to masses of people by electronic means, will revolutionize our concepts of research and development. Very importantly, the divorce between the sexual life and fear, and the sexual life and disease, and the sexual life and tyranny, can now at last be attempted, on the sole condition that we banish all religions from the discourse. And all this and more is, for the first time in our history, within the reach if not the grasp of everyone.[126]
Hitchens and John Lennox at an "Is God Great?" debate (Alabama, 2009)His book rendered him one of the major advocates of the "New Atheism" movement, and he also was made an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society.[127] Hitchens said he would accept an invitation from any religious leader who wished to debate with him. He also served on the advisory board of the Secular Coalition for America,[128] a lobbying group for atheists and humanists in Washington, DC. In 2007, Hitchens began a series of written debates on the question "Is Christianity Good for the World?" with Christian theologian and pastor, Douglas Wilson, published in Christianity Today magazine.[129] This exchange eventually became a book by the same title in 2008. During their book tour to promote the book, film producer Darren Doane sent a film crew to accompany them. Doane produced the film Collision: "Is Christianity GOOD for the World?" which was released on 27 October 2009.
On 26 November 2010 Hitchens appeared in Toronto, Canada at the Munk Debates, where he debated religion with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a convert to Roman Catholicism. Blair argued religion is a force for good, while Hitchens was against it. Preliminary results on the Munk website said 56 per cent of the votes backed the proposition (Hitchens' position) before hearing the debate, with 22 per cent against (Blair's position), and 21 per cent undecided, with the undecided voters leaning toward Hitchens, giving him a 68 per cent to 32 per cent victory over Blair, after the debate.[130][131]
In February 2006, Hitchens helped organize a pro-Denmark rally outside the Danish Embassy in Washington, DC in response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.[132]
Hitchens was accused by William A. Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Liberties of being particularly anti-Catholic. Hitchens responded "when religion is attacked in this country [...] the Catholic Church comes in for a little more than its fair share".[133] Hitchens had also been accused of anti-Catholic bigotry by others, including Brent Bozell, Tom Piatak in The American Conservative, and UCLA Law Professor Stephen Bainbridge.[134][135] In an interview with Radar in 2007, Hitchens said that if the Christian right's agenda were implemented in the United States "It wouldn't last very long and would, I hope, lead to civil war, which they will lose, but for which it would be a great pleasure to take part."[136] When Joe Scarborough on 12 March 2004 asked Hitchens whether he was "consumed with hatred for conservative Catholics", Hitchens responded that he was not and that he just thinks that "all religious belief is sinister and infantile".[137] Piatak claimed that "A straightforward description of all Hitchens's anti-Catholic outbursts would fill every page in this magazine", noting particularly Hitchens' assertion that U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts should not be confirmed because of his faith.[135]
Hitchens was raised nominally Christian, and went to Christian boarding schools but from an early age declined to participate in communal prayers. Later in life, Hitchens discovered that he was of partially Jewish ancestry. According to Hitchens, when his brother Peter took his fiancée to meet their maternal grandmother, who was then in her 90s, she said of his fiancée, "She's Jewish, isn't she?" and then announced: "Well, I've got something to tell you. So are you." Hitchens found out that his maternal grandmother, Dorothy Levin, was raised Jewish (Dorothy's father and maternal grandfather had both been born Jewish, and Dorothy's maternal grandmother – Hitchens' matrilineal great-great-grandmother – was a convert to Judaism). Hitchens' maternal grandfather converted to Judaism before marrying Dorothy Levin.[138] Hitchens' Jewish-born ancestors were immigrants from Eastern Europe (including Poland).[139][140] In an article in the The Guardian on 14 April 2002, Hitchens stated that he could be considered Jewish because Jewish descent is matrilineal.[139] In a 2010 interview at New York Public Library, Hitchens stated that he was against circumcision, a Jewish tradition, and that he believed "if anyone wants to saw off bits of their genitalia they should do when they're grown up and have made the decision for themselves".[141]
In February 2010, he was named to the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Honorary Board of distinguished achievers.[142]
Personal life[link]

This section requires expansion. Hitchens married Eleni Meleagrou, a Greek Cypriot, in a Greek Orthodox church[18] in 1981; the couple had a son, Alexander and a daughter, Sophia. In 1989 Hitchens left Meleagrou for Carol Blue, an American writer.[29] The couple married in New York, at the apartment of Victor Navasky, editor of The Nation. They have a daughter, Antonia.[29]
Parents[link]
Hitchens' father, Eric Hitchens, was a Commander in the British Royal Navy. Hitchens often referred to his father as simply the 'Commander'. On 26th December, 1943, Hitchens's father was deployed onboard HMS Jamaica when it sank the German warship, the Scharnhorst. Christopher Hitchens would refer to his father's contribution to the war: 'Sending a Nazi convoy raider to the bottom is a better day's work than any I have ever done.' He also stated that 'the remark that most summed him [his father] up was the flat statement that the war of 1939 to 1945 had been "the only time when I really felt I knew what I was doing."' [143]
Hitchens's mother, Yvonne, died in Athens 1973 when, despite first reports in The Times that she had been murdered, it was later concluded that her death had been the result of an apparent suicide pact with her boyfriend, Reverend Timothy Bryan. Hitchens travelled to Athens to identify his mother's body. On the subject Hitchens later said: 'She probably thought things were getting sordid - he [Bryan] wasn't able to hold a job down, she couldn't go back, she was probably about the age I am now and perhaps there was that - she'd been very pretty - and things were never going to get any better, so why go through with it? She might not have been that hard to persuade, but I know that she did try to save herself because I have the photographs still. So that was sort of the end of family life really.' [144]
In reference to writing about his mother in his memoir, Hitch-22, he said, 'It was painful to write about my mother, but not very because long ago I internally managed all that. 'I even went back to Greece and I went to the graveyard while I was writing the book and decided not to write about it. I thought that would be sentimental.' [145]
Relationship with his younger brother[link]
Hitchens' younger brother by two-and-a-half years, Peter Hitchens, is a Christian and socially conservative journalist in London, although, like his brother, he had been a Trotskyist in the 1970s. The brothers had a protracted falling-out after Peter wrote that Christopher had once joked that he "didn't care if the Red Army watered its horses at Hendon" (a suburb of London).[146] Christopher denied having said this and broke off contact with his brother. He then referred to his brother as "an idiot" in a letter to Commentary, and the dispute spilled into other publications as well. Christopher eventually expressed a willingness to reconcile and to meet his new nephew (born in 1999); shortly thereafter the brothers gave several interviews together in which they said that their personal disagreements had been resolved. They appeared together on 21 June 2007 edition of the BBC current affairs discussion show Question Time. The pair engaged in a formal televised debate for the first time on 3 April 2008, at Grand Valley State University,[147] and at the Pew Forum on 12 October 2010.[148]
Smoking and drinking[link]
The Sunday Times described Hitchens as "Usually armed with a glass of Scotch and an untipped Rothmans cigarette."[149] In late 2007 he briefly gave up smoking, although resumed during the writing of his memoir and continued until his cancer diagnosis.[150] Hitchens admitted to drinking heavily; in 2003 he wrote that his daily intake of alcohol was enough "to kill or stun the average mule", arguing that many great writers "did some of their finest work when blotto, smashed, polluted, shitfaced, squiffy, whiffled, and three sheets to the wind."[151] He argued, "The plain fact is that [drinking] makes other people, and indeed life itself, a good deal less boring."[152]
George Galloway notably accused Hitchens of being a "drink-sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay",[153] to which Hitchens replied, "only some of which is true".[154] Hitchens later elaborated: "He says that I am an ex-Trotskyist (true), a 'popinjay' (true enough, since the word's original Webster's definition is a target for arrows and shots), and that I cannot hold a drink (here I must protest)."[155] Hitchens' wife Carol Blue described him as "obviously an alcoholic, he functions at a really high level and he doesn’t act like a drunk, so the only reason it’s a bad thing is it’s taking out his liver, presumably. It would be a drag for Henry Kissinger to live to a hundred and Christopher to keel over next year.” [156] His New Yorker profile described him as drinking "like a Hemingway character: continually and to no apparent effect."[156]
Oliver Burkeman writes, "Since the parting of ways on Iraq [...] Hitchens claims to have detected a new, personalised nastiness in the attacks on him, especially over his fabled consumption of alcohol. He welcomes being attacked as a drinker 'because I always think it's a sign of victory when they move on to the ad hominem.' He drinks, he says, 'because it makes other people less boring. I have a great terror of being bored. But I can work with or without it. It takes quite a lot to get me to slur.'"[157]
In his 2010 memoir Hitch-22, Hitchens wrote: "There was a time when I could reckon to outperform all but the most hardened imbibers, but I now drink relatively carefully." He described his current drinking routine on working-days as follows: "At about half past midday, a decent slug of Mr. Walker's amber restorative, cut with Perrier water (an ideal delivery system) and no ice. At luncheon, perhaps half a bottle of red wine: not always more but never less. Then back to the desk, and ready to repeat the treatment at the evening meal. No 'after dinner drinks' — most especially nothing sweet and never, ever any brandy. 'Nightcaps' depend on how well the day went, but always the mixture as before. No mixing: no messing around with a gin here and a vodka there."[158]
Reflecting on the lifestyle that supported his career as a writer he said:
I always knew there was a risk in the bohemian lifestyle ... I decided to take it because it helped my concentration, it stopped me being bored — it stopped other people being boring. It would make me want to prolong the conversation and enhance the moment. If you ask: would I do it again? I would probably say yes. But I would have quit earlier hoping to get away with the whole thing. I decided all of life is a wager and I'm going to wager on this bit ... In a strange way I don't regret it. It's just impossible for me to picture life without wine, and other things, fueling the company, keeping me reading, energising me. It worked for me. It really did.[159]
Esophageal cancer and death[link]
Hitchens in 2010In June 2010, Hitchens postponed his book tour for Hitch-22 to undergo treatment for esophageal cancer.[160] He announced that he was undergoing treatment in a Vanity Fair piece entitled "Topic of Cancer".[39] Hitchens said that he recognised the long-term prognosis was far from positive, and that he would be a "very lucky person to live another five years".[161] In November 2010, Hitchens canceled[162] a scheduled appearance in New York, where he was to debate religion writers David Hazony and Stephen Prothero on the subject of the Ten Commandments. Earlier that year, he published a piece in Vanity Fair on the subject,[163] and was working on a book about the Ten Commandments as well.[164]
During his illness, Hitchens was under the care of Francis Collins and was the subject of Collins' new cancer treatment which maps out the human genome and selectively targets damaged DNA.[165][166]
In April 2011, Hitchens was forced to cancel an appearance at the American Atheist Convention, and instead sent a letter that stated, "Nothing would have kept me from joining you except the loss of my voice (at least my speaking voice) which in turn is due to a long argument I am currently having with the specter of death." He closed with "And don't keep the faith."[167] The letter also dismissed the notion of a possible deathbed conversion, in which he claimed that "redemption and supernatural deliverance appears even more hollow and artificial to me than it did before."[167] In June 2011, he spoke to a University of Waterloo audience via a home video link.[168]
In October 2011, Hitchens made a public appearance at the Texas Freethought Convention in Houston, TX. Atheist Alliance of America was also a participant in the joint convention.[169]
In November 2011, George Eaton wrote in the New Statesman:
The tragedy of Hitchens' illness is that it came at a time when he enjoyed a larger audience than ever. Of his tight circle of friends – Amis, Fenton, McEwan, Rushdie – Hitchens was the last to gain international renown, yet he is now read more widely than any of them." Eaton revealed that Hitchens would like to be remembered as a man who fought totalitarianism in all its forms although many remember him as a "lefty who turned right", and his support of the Iraq War and not his support of the War in Bosnia on the side of the Moslems. Eaton concluded, "The great polemicist is certain to be remembered, but, as he is increasingly aware, perhaps not as he would like."[170]
Hitchens died on 15 December 2011 at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.[171]
In accordance with his wishes, his body was donated to medical research.[172]
Reactions to death[link]
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was one of dozens of public figures to offer condolences and respect to Hitchens after his death from cancerFormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, "Christopher Hitchens was a complete one-off, an amazing mixture of writer, journalist, polemicist, and unique character. He was fearless in the pursuit of truth and any cause in which he believed. And there was no belief he held that he did not advocate with passion, commitment, and brilliance. He was an extraordinary, compelling and colourful human being whom it was a privilege to know."[173]
Richard Dawkins, British evolutionary biologist at the University of Oxford and a friend of Hitchens, said, "I think he was one of the greatest orators of all time. He was a polymath, a wit, immensely knowledgeable, and a valiant fighter against all tyrants including imaginary supernatural ones."[173]
Sam Harris, American writer and neuroscientist, wrote, "I have been privileged to witness the gratitude that so many people feel for Hitch’s life and work — for, wherever I speak, I meet his fans. On my last book tour, those who attended my lectures could not contain their delight at the mere mention of his name — and many of them came up to get their books signed primarily to request that I pass along their best wishes to him. It was wonderful to see how much Hitch was loved and admired — and to be able to share this with him before the end. I will miss you, brother."[174]
Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health and former head of the Human Genome Project who helped treat Hitchens' illness, wrote, "I will miss Christopher. I will miss the brilliant turn of phrase, the good-natured banter, the wry sideways smile when he was about to make a remark that would make me laugh out loud. No doubt he now knows the answer to the question of whether there is more to the spirit than just atoms and molecules. I hope he was surprised by the answer. I hope to hear him tell about it someday. He will tell it really well."[175]
British columnist and author Peter Hitchens, who had a tumultuous relationship with his older brother Christopher, wrote that he and Christopher "got on surprisingly well in the past few months, better than for about 50 years as it happens," and praised his brother as "courageous."[176]
Irish-American political journalist Alexander Cockburn, founder of the left-wing[177][178][179] political magazine CounterPunch wrote an obituary critical of Hitchens, criticizing his support for the Iraq War, criticisms of Mother Teresa, and criticisms of their mutual friend Edward Said and concluded, "I found the Hitchens cult of recent years entirely mystifying. He endured his final ordeal with pluck, sustained indomitably by his wife Carol."[180]
Tributes followed from the philosopher Daniel Dennett,[181] the physicist Lawrence Krauss,[182] the actor Stephen Fry,[183] the writer Ian McEwan,[184] the philosopher A.C. Grayling;[185] and Vanity Fair, in which he was remembered as an "incomparable critic and masterful rhetorician".[186]
Assessment[link]
Anthony Gottlieb argued in The New Yorker that Hitchens "thrives at the lectern, where his powers of rhetoric and recall enable him to entertain an audience, go too far, and almost get away with it."[187]
Jason Cowley argued in the Financial Times:
- He is not a philosopher and has made no original contribution to intellectual thought. As an atheist, his anti-religious tract, God Is Not Great, is elegant but derivative. His polemical denunciations and pamphlets on powerful individuals, such as Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Henry Kissinger, feel already dated, stranded in place and time, good journalism but not literature. Ultimately, I suspect, he will be remembered more for his prodigious output and for his swaggering, rhetorical style – as well as for his lifestyle: the louche cosmopolitan and gadfly, the itinerant man of letters and indefatigable raconteur.[188]

StosselSpouse Ellen Abrams Website http://www.johnstossel.com/ John F. Stossel (born March 6, 1947) is an American consumer reporter, investigative journalist, author and libertarian columnist. In October 2009 Stossel left his long time home on ABC News to join the Fox Business Channel and Fox News Channel, both owned and operated by News Corp. He hosts a weekly news show on Fox Business, Stossel, which debuted on December 10, 2009. The show airs in prime time every Thursday, repeating on both Saturdays and Sundays. Stossel also regularly provides signature analysis, appearing on various Fox News shows, including weekly appearances on The O'Reilly Factor, in addition to writing the Fox News Blog, "John Stossel's Take".[2]
Stossel practices advocacy journalism, often challenging conventional wisdom.[3] His reporting style, which is a blend of commentary and reporting, reflects a libertarian political philosophy and his views on economics are largely supportive of the free market.[4]
In his decades as a reporter, Stossel has received numerous honors and awards, including nineteen Emmy awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club.[5] John Stossel is doctor honoris causa from Universidad Francisco Marroquín.[6] Stossel has written two books recounting how his experiences in journalism shaped his socioeconomic views, Give Me a Break in 2004 and Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity in 2007.
Stossel began his journalism career as a researcher for KGW-TV and later became a consumer reporter at WCBS-TV in New York City, before joining ABC News as a consumer editor and reporter on Good Morning America. Stossel went on to be an ABC News correspondent, joining the weekly news magazine program 20/20, going on to become co-anchor.[7]
ABC is reported to believe "his reporting goes against the grain of the established media and offers the network something fresh and different...[but] makes him a target of the groups he offends."[8]

Early life[link]
John Stossel was born in Chicago Heights, Illinois, the younger of two sons,[9] to a prominent Jewish family, and graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka. He overcame a stuttering problem so he could become a reporter, and is now a supporter and advocate for the Stuttering Foundation of America. Stossel graduated from Princeton University with a BA in Psychology in 1969 and was a member of Princeton Tower Club while there. He began his journalism career as a researcher for KGW-TV in Portland, Oregon. Stossel later became a consumer reporter at WCBS-TV in New York City before joining ABC News in 1981 as consumer editor and reporter on Good Morning America.
Career[link]
[edit] 20/20
Stossel was named co-anchor of ABC News' 20/20 in May 2003. He joined the weekly news magazine program in 1981, initially as a correspondent. His "Give Me a Break" segments featured a skeptical look at subjects from government regulations and pop culture to censorship and unfounded fear. The series was spun off into a series of one-hour specials (which, Stossel stated in an interview with ReasonTV[10] cost ABC half a million dollars per special), beginning in 1994, with titles including:

Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network[link]
In September 2009, it was announced that Stossel was leaving ABC News and joining Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. In addition to appearing on The O'Reilly Factor every Tuesday night, he now hosts a one-hour weekly program for Fox Business Network and a series of one-hour specials for Fox News Channel, as well as making regular guest appearances on Fox News programs.
The program, entitled Stossel, debuted December 10, 2009, on Fox Business Network. The program looks at consumer-focused topics, such as civil liberties, the business of health care, and free trade. His blog, "Stossel’s Take", is published on both FoxBusiness.com and FoxNews.com.[13][14][15]
Publications[link]
See also: No, They Can'tStossel has written three books. Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media is a 2005 autobiography from Harper Perennial documenting his career and philosophical transition from liberalism to libertarianism. It describes his opposition to government regulation, his belief in free market and private enterprise, support for tort reform, and advocacy for shifting social services from the government to private charities. It was a New York Times bestseller for 11 weeks.[3] Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel – Why Everything You Know Is Wrong, which was published in 2007 by Hyperion, questions the validity of various conventional wisdoms, and argues that the belief he is conservative is untrue. On April 10, 2012, Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, published Stossel's third book No, They Can't: Why Government Fails-But Individuals Succeed. It argues that government policies meant to solve problems instead produce new ones, and that free individuals and the private sector perform tasks more efficiently than the government does.[16]
With financial support from the libertarian Palmer R. Chitester Fund, Stossel and ABC News launched a series of educational materials for public schools in 1999 entitled "Stossel in the Classroom".[17][18] It was taken over in 2006 by the Center for Independent Thought and releases a new DVD of teaching materials annually. In 2006, Stossel and ABC released Teaching Tools for Economics, a video series based on the National Council of Economics Education standards.[19]
Charity and other work[link]
Stossel often makes public appearances and speeches, advocating his brand of libertarian thought.[20] Stossel explained at the end of the December 30, 2010 episode of Stossel that he gives away his earnings from these engagements to charity; they contribute 25% of his income. The three main groups he supports with his donations are the The Doe Fund, the Central Park Conservancy (on whose board he sits), and Student Sponsor Partners (SSP), which partners low-income high school students with donors who mentor the students and pay tuition for the students to attend private school (usually Catholic schools), which Stossel says have higher graduation rates than public schools.[21]
Stossel and his former ABC News colleague Chris Cuomo are silent investors in Columbus Tavern, a restaurant on Columbus Avenue at 72nd Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side.[22][23][24]
Political and personal beliefs[link]
Contrarianism[link]
Stossel's news reports and writings attempt to debunk popular beliefs. His Myths and Lies series of 20/20 specials challenges a range of widely held beliefs. He also hosted The Power of Belief (October 6, 1998), an ABC News Special that focused on assertions of the paranormal and people's desire to believe. Another report outlined the belief that opposition to DDT is misplaced and that the ban on DDT has resulted in the deaths of millions of children,[25] mostly in poor nations.[26]
Libertarianism[link]
As a libertarian, Stossel says that he believes in both personal freedom[27] and the free market. He frequently uses television airtime to advance these views and challenge viewers' distrust of free market capitalism and economic competition. He received an Honoris Causa Doctorate from Francisco Marroquin University, a libertarian university in Guatemala, in 2008. He told The Oregonian, on October 26, 1994:
I started out by viewing the marketplace as a cruel place, where you need intervention by government and lawyers to protect people. But after watching the regulators work, I have come to believe that markets are magical and the best protectors of the consumer. It is my job to explain the beauties of the free market.[28]I'm a little embarrassed about how long it took me to see the folly of most government intervention. It was probably 15 years before I really woke up to the fact that almost everything government attempts to do, it makes worse.[29]Stossel argues that personal greed creates an incentive to work and to innovate.[30] He has promoted school choice as a way to improve American schools, because he believes that when people are given a choice, they will choose the better schools for their children.[31] Referring to educational tests that rank American students lower than others he says:
The people who run the international tests told us, "the biggest predictor of student success is choice." Nations that "attach the money to the kids" and thereby allow parents to choose between different public and private schools have higher test scores. This should be no surprise; competition makes us better.[32]Stossel has criticized government programs as inefficient, wasteful, and harmful.[33] He has also criticized the American legal system, opining that it provides lawyers and vexatious litigators the incentive to file frivolous lawsuits indiscriminately, which Stossel contends often generate more wealth for lawyers than deserving clients, stifle innovation and personal freedoms, and cause harm to private citizens, taxpayers, consumers and businesses.[34] Although Stossel concedes that some lawsuits are necessary in order to provide justice to people genuinely injured by others with greater economic power,[35] he advocates the adoption in the U.S. of the English rule as one method to reduce the more abusive or frivolous lawsuits.[36]
Stossel opposes corporate welfare, bailouts[37] and the war in Iraq.[5] He also opposes legal prohibitions against pornography, marijuana, gambling, ticket scalping, prostitution, homosexual activity, and assisted suicide,[38] and believes most abortions should be legal.[39] He favors replacing the income tax with the FairTax.[40]
When President Barack Obama altered federal guidelines in April 2010 governing the employment of unpaid interns under the Fair Labor Standards Act,[41] Stossel criticized the guidelines, appearing in a police uniform during an appearance on the Fox News program America Live, commenting, "I’ve built my career on unpaid interns, and the interns told me it was great – I learned more from you than I did in college." Asked why he did not pay them if they were so valuable, he said he could not afford to.[42]
Regarding religion, Stossel identified himself as an agnostic in the December 16, 2010 episode of Stossel, explaining that he had no belief in God, but was open to the possibility.[43]
Praise and criticism[link]
Awards[link]
Stossel has won 19 Emmy Awards. He was honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club, and has received the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the Peabody Award. In one year, according to Stossel in his book Give Me A Break, "I got so many Emmys, another winner thanked me in his acceptance speech 'for not having an entry in this category'".[44] According to Stossel, when he was in favor of government intervention and skeptical of business he was deluged with awards, but in 2006 he stated, "They like me less... Once I started applying the same skepticism to government, I stopped winning awards."[29] On April 23, 2012, Stossel was awarded the Chapman University Presidential Medal, by the current president, James Doti, and chancellor, Danielle Struppa. The award has only been presented to a handful of people over the past 150 years. [45]
Praise[link]
The Nobel Prize–winning Chicago School monetarist economist Milton Friedman lauded Stossel, stating: "Stossel is that rare creature, a TV commentator who understands economics, in all its subtlety."[46] Steve Forbes, the editor of Forbes Magazine, described Stossel as riveting and "one of America’s ablest and most courageous journalists."[46] P. J. O'Rourke, best-selling author of Eat the Rich and Parliament of Whores praised Stossel, stating:
... about John Stossel's fact-finding. He seeks the truths that destroy truisms, wields reason against all that's unreasonable, and ... puncture(s) sanctimonious idealism.... He makes the maddening mad. And Stossel’s tales of the outrageous are outrageously amusing.[46]An article published by the libertarian group Advocates for Self Government notes praise for Stossel.[47] Independent Institute Research Analyst Anthony Gregory, writing on the libertarian blog, LewRockwell.com, described Stossel as a "heroic rogue... a media maverick and proponent of freedom in an otherwise statist, conformist mass media."[48] Libertarian investment analyst Mark Skousen said Stossel is "a true libertarian hero".[49]
Criticism and controversy[link]
Watchdog groups[link]
Liberal media organizations such as Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and Media Matters for America (MMfA), have criticized Stossel's work,[50][51] for what was perceived by those groups as a lack of balance of coverage and distortion of facts. For example, Stossel was criticized for a segment on his October 11, 1999, show during which he argued that AIDS research has received too much funding, "25 times more than on Parkinson's, which kills more people." FAIR responded that, "In fact, AIDS killed more than 16,000 people in the United States in 1999," whereas Parkinson's averaged "a death toll in the United States of less than 4,000 per year."[52]
However, the Centers for Disease Control National Vital Statistics Reports do not support FAIR's claim. The CDC reported that HIV/AIDS killed 14,802 Americans in 1999, compared to 14,593 who succumbed to Parkinson's.[53] The following year the order was reversed, with 14,478 dying from HIV/AIDS, and 15,682 from Parkinson's.[54]
Accusation of conflict of interest[link]
In a February 2000 Salon.com feature on Stossel entitled "Prime-time propagandist", David Mastio wrote that Stossel has a conflict of interest in donating profits from his public speaking engagements to, among others, a non-profit called "Stossel in the Classroom" which includes material for use in schools, some of which uses material made by Stossel.[55][56]
Galbraith and Stossel[link]
University of Texas economist James K. Galbraith has alleged that Stossel in his September 1999 special, Is America #1?, used an out of context clip of Galbraith to convey the notion that Galbraith advocated the adoption by Europe of the free market economics practiced by the United States, when in fact, Galbraith actually advocated that Europe adopt some of the United States' social benefit transfer mechanisms such as Social Security, which is the economically opposite view. Stossel denied any misrepresentation of Galbraith's views, and stated that it was not his intention to convey that Galbraith agreed with all of the special's ideas, but re-edited that portion of the program for its September 2000 repeat, in which Stossel paraphrased, "Even economists who like Europe's policies, like James Galbraith, now acknowledge America's success."[57][58][59]
Organic vegetables[link]
A February 2000 story about organic vegetables on 20/20 included statements by Stossel that tests had shown that neither organic nor conventional produce samples contained any pesticide residue, and that organic food was more likely to be contaminated by E. coli bacteria. The Environmental Working Group objected to his report, mainly questioning his statements about bacteria, but also managed to determine that the produce had never been tested for pesticides. They communicated this to Stossel, but after the story's producer backed Stossel's recollection that the test results had been as described, the story was rebroadcast months later, uncorrected, and with a postscript in which Stossel reiterated his claim. Later, after a report in The New York Times confirmed the Environmental Working Group's claims, ABC News suspended the producer of the segment for a month and reprimanded Stossel. Stossel apologized, saying that he had thought the tests had been conducted as reported. However, he asserted that the gist of his report had been accurate.[60][61][62][63][64]
Frederick K. Price[link]
In a March 2007 segment about finances and lifestyles of televangelists, 20/20 aired a clip of Rev. Frederick K. Price, a TV minister, that was originally broadcast by the Lifetime Network in 1997. Price alleged that the clip portrayed him describing his wealth in extravagant terms, when he was actually telling a parable about a rich man. ABC News twice aired a retraction and apologized for the error.[65][66] In August 2010, a lower court's dismissal of the minister's defamation suit against ABC, Price v. Stossel, was overturned by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.[67]
"Sick Sob Stories"[link]
In an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal in September 2007 called "Sick Sob Stories", Stossel described the case of Tracy and Julie Pierce that was explored in Michael Moore's film, Sicko.[68] Julie Pierce criticized Stossel, saying her husband would have been saved by the Canadian health care system, and she thought Stossel should have interviewed her and her doctor before writing about them.[69] Stossel expressed sympathy, but said she had been misled to believe the treatment was routinely available in Canada. He said that the treatment is also considered "experimental" in Canada, and is provided there even more rarely than in the U.S.[70]
Global warming[link]
He challenges the notion that man-made global warming would have net negative consequences, pointing to assertedly warmer periods in human history.[71] Central to his argument is the idea that groups and individuals get much more public attention, donations, and government funding when they proclaim "this will be terrible" than groups that say "this is nothing to worry about." He points to groups like the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and to activists such as Rachel Carson and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore as examples of environmental scaremongers.[72]
In 2001, the media watchdog organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting criticized Stossel's reportage of global warming in his documentary, Tampering with Nature, for using "highly selective...information" that gave "center stage to three dissenters from among the 2,000 members of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which recently released a report stating that global temperatures are rising almost twice as fast as previously thought."[73]
In a 2006 discussion hosted by the Fraser Institute, Stossel stated that he accepts that global warming has occurred in the past century, that it has been about one degree Celsius, and that man-made emissions "may be part of the cause." Nevertheless he groups environmental groups with astrologers and psychics in his second book, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. He stated that the "myths" come in with the debate about proposed solutions to reduce global warming, which he argues will not solve the problem at all and will restrict people's freedom.[5]
David Schultz incident[link]
On December 28, 1984, during an interview for 20/20 on professional wrestling, wrestler David Schultz struck Stossel after Stossel stated that he thought professional wrestling was "fake". Stossel stated that he suffered from pain and buzzing in his ears eight weeks after the assault.[74] Stossel sued and obtained a settlement of $425,000 from the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In his book, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity, he writes that he has come to regret doing so, having adopted the belief that lawsuits harm hundreds of innocent people.[75][76] Schultz maintains that he attacked Stossel on orders from Vince McMahon, the head of the then-WWF.[77]
Personal life[link]
Stossel lives in New York City with his wife, Ellen Abrams. They have two grown children.[78]
Stossel's older brother, Thomas P. Stossel,[9] is a hematologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital,[79] and a professor at Harvard Medical School. He has served on the advisory boards of Merck, Biogen Idec and Dyax,[80] as a senior fellow at the free-market Manhattan Institute,[81] and as a trustee of the American Council on Science and Health.[82]
Stossel's nephew is the journalist and magazine editor Scott Stossel.[83]

There wouldn't be no Alamo,
No Cowboys in the Superbowl...
No "Lonesome Dove", no "Yellow Rose",
If it wasn't for Texas.
I wouldn't be a Willie fan.
Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande.
I wouldn't be an American,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind,
An' there'd be no Austim City limits sign.
No Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
Instrumental break
I'd never've gone to Tennessee,
To sing my songs an' chase my dreams.
Only Heaven knows just where I'd be,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind.
There'd be no Austin City limits sign.
An' no Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
It made me the man I am...
Thank God for my old stompin' ground.
I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now,
If it wasn't for Texas.
If it wasn't for Texas.Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
Been thinking 'bout it lately
Been watching some TV
Been looking all around me
At what has come to me
Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me
It's all gone crazy
Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She's got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep for cool
She says that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
Someone gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say
Texas she says what
Texas she says what
They got big long roads out there
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I'm going to Texas
We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here
Well I got a little brother
Several metres high
He's built just like a quarterback
He swears he'll testify
He says he's been to Texas
And that's the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no touble here
That's the place for me
I'm going to Texas
I'm going to Texas
Watch me walkingI feel a chill in the air today
And though we never started out that way
We've got to ask ourselves
Is this the land that our fathers made?
That silver spoon is going to fade and rust
Got no respect and we've lost our trust
And Texas, what's become of your favorite sons?
[Chorus]
Why are your friends all acting strange?
This ain't no time for a foolish heart
It's time we've got to act our age
You'll never break me down
Better believe we've got our eyes on you
And we know the crooked things you do
You'd better wake up now
And answer for the things you've done
All of the lies that you propagate
You've raped the charm from the lone star state
And there's a cancer deepWhen the Texas moon is shining down on Austin
When it shines across the Rio Grande
When it comes to makin' love
Under the stars aboveWhat About Us?
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love
I knew I couldn't take this love heartache
I knew I couldn't stand it alone
What about you, what about me, what about us
Aaah I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
Chorus
I've seen it before when I just
When I just needed more
Than your touch
Here we go
You're not a million miles
You're not a million miles from me
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love
He came home late and apparantly
He was someone else when he got home
What about you, what about me, what about us
Aaah I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
Chorus
And here we go
Chorus (3x)(Instrumental)
I've looked down the saddest city lane
I've looked at the people with faces of pain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
I looked int your eyes
You think it just a game
Them faces keep on looking
But it's all in vain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end
You keep telling me my mind is too cruel
But I can't help it if I live by these rules
You'll never change them
You'll never change them
You took me for a fool
And read my thoughts
You never realised that I couldn't be bought
I can't forget it
You will regret it
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end
You can only push me so far
Before I can't take no more
I've made the vow
You've lost me now
Don't push me so far
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feelingSleep lyrics
(feat. Paul Buchanan)
Shar -
I think that you're the one
When everytime you call me lady

That makes me feel like this just lately yeah
Bridge (both)
Those heavenly calls
You knew I was on my own
Those heavenly calls
We stepped into the unknown
Chorus (Paul)
Let me sleep
So I can dream of you
Let me sleep
So I can be with you
Shar -

With you just tell me
And here we are again yeah acting
Like we're friends don't held me
Bridge (both)
Chorus (Paul)
Chorus (both)
Shar -
Hold me close, let me be with you

Chorus (both) 2x

Let me sleep so I can dream of you
Let me sleep so I can be with you
Let me sleep (5x)
Let me sleep so I can be with youVerse 1: Method Man
As I walk in da shadow of death
Sixteen men on a deadman's chest
Your host is heat, Mr. H-O-T
And I get ya get splashed with da Tec
Nobody go till da God say so
You got a second or mo'
To run for da door
Before I blow back off da Meth contact
You didn't know Stat
Cook you down like that
Chorus1: Sharleen
And when I get that feeling (Yo, Yo)
I can no longer slide, I can no longer run no no no

for it's no longer fun no no no(All day, every day)
Chorus 2: Sharleen
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same, about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same, about you...
Verse 2: Method Man
See my pinky, see my thumb

1x Chorus 1
2x Chorus 2
Sharleen:
I've said goodnight try to sleep tight
(M.M.: 1 time for ya crooked ear, 2 times for ya crooked ear)
Just dream of me
Go close your eyes cause I've closed mine
(M.M.: 3 times for ya crooked ear, 4 times for ya crooked ear)
When you dream of meThere are things i can't tell you i love you too much to say
I stand undressed but I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am
Bridge:
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can't understand your feelings
but then everybody has a life to live
Chorus:
once in a lifetime you have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime,I'll never be in between
Somethings you just can't ignore
Now reach out, You can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years the days and the minutes
Yes time has such a puzzling grace
(back to bridge and chorus repeated)
I just need to have your love
I just can't say no, it's a gift from way above
I just can't say no, it's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can't have
i just can't say no, I just can't say no
(back to chorus)* I'll send you a postcard from heaven's ocean
I feel like staying here in heaven's ocean
I've been dreaming for days now
Jump in the sea I do that easily
The sounds drowning what I'm seeing
Count everyone for questions I have not known
(*Repeat)
There's a storm in my thoughts now
Come wash me clean beneath the waves with me
Now we're smiling see me smiling
Silence is what I need it's only in the seaRound and round in Polo Mint City
Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint City
Round and round in Polo Mint City
Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint CityIf you want to see my sunrise
Well I don't mind
Your lips so full like life itself
Been in love for a while
You know that I just want to see you
Yeah I have for a time
And it's balancing there upon my head
Just like last night on a bottle of wine
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
You want to spend the night together
Pull your body close
So masterthief embrace my heart
Now you decided to show
Come discover what you can't find (talk to me talk to me)
There's no need to think (tell me tell me)
And it hits you there on the back of your head just like
Last night when you started to drink
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Time is all I have to give
You can have it if you choose
Time is all I have to give
You got me under your wing
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Time is all I have to give
You can have it if you choose
Time is all I have to give
You got me under your wing
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to meyou came down as if from heaven
laid a soft hand on me
i kept on walking and thinking
where my life's gone i should weep
well i don't know where i've been going

the angel sat down at my table
i told her all my doubts and pain

Than I ever knew
If I see that its eleven I'll say its seven
To spend more time with you
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I reach for someone new
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Even though I've been with someone else
I'm so happy when I'm with you
And here we are again on some lost weekend
Yeh we are one or two
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I know that I had you
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long

Nothing leaves your mind but breaks your heart
But we both knew this from the start
I could mend your life, or ease your pain
Hold on

Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have

And I know that
In the past you've had bad luck so I should help you stay
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
When I close my eyes
And think of you it takes me places that I've never seen
And the rain, it blows
You're brushing up against my skin to wash me clean
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed - it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted

believe in me if you can
hear me now
with every word i breath
believe in me if you can
yes hear me now
like a long lost friend
believe in me if you canI deal the cards around
Around the table
Pull up a seat if you are able
Welcome to the dream hotel
If you've been there before
The yu'll know it well
I want you to find, find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Lost in the funhouse
Dolphin blue
Wherever you're going I'll swim and find you
I heard you talkin'
Did you whisper my name
Or did you shout it
I want you to find, find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Oh, I want you to find yourself
Oh, I want you to find yourself
I hear you chant every other day
Sweet son, sweet son
I want you to find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long(Instrumental)
Nobody wants to take the blame
Everybody wants to stay the same
All I want is what you had
I never meant to make you feel so sad
But you should have known it
'Cause I tried to show it
So it wouldn't happen this way
Yeah, I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you
To this day, I can't explain
Why I stole him away
I guess I thought you'd run to me
I didn't really know how wrong I'd be
Well you should have known it
'Cause I tried to show it
I've been tasting your tears for too long
Yeah, I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you
I never asked for nothin'
I, I only wanted you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you, hey yeah
I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
I only wanted youSing low the baby 'cos we're here tonight
Together everyone is here in sight
The world and them, no they don't see our sky
But no it isn't right
Wash all the clothes when he is here in sight
I couldn't even be and try to hide
You've got my baby till the day I die
It's so cold outside
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
I go away 'cos daddy wasn't feeling right
The clouds passing by me in the moonlight
No coming down now that I've got the time
Oh, I was born to fly
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes(Instrumental)

[Chorus repetition ends]
John John Blazini
All day every day, with the souffle'
All you cats got to react, to jump back
Kiss yourself, â'fore you get smacked
By the my appa-ra-tus comin' through with the stat-us
Connect-in', lethal weapon, lethal injection
Visual unseen, like gene
When I had men, I'm unforgiven
Locked in prison, in the Wu-Tang dirty dungeon
You should come into my 12 bar dirty dozen
Love you to death now, kiss of death
Every body wants to do what they gotta do, to breath, try to eat
Your minds on the rhymin', dancin', runnin' in money
They get dope biz, step in the square, cats â'n' Clan over here
Playas'
Yeah, an' it's all G-O-NEE
HeheYou're the type of person that I need to meet
And I want to learn from you
I need this now do I ask too much
To be close to you
I want you, and your love, I want everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in love
Some people are just living to be hurt
So I want to run to you
And I feel your warmth, but your cold to touch
When I am close to you
I see you, you've been hurt, now I see everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in you
You make me want to shout
You make me want to cry
So why believe in you
I want you, and your love, I want everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in you
You make me want to shout
You make me want to cry(Instrumental)
Have you heard the sound of disappointment
It tears at you
Why didn't I realise that I could be conned by you
Taken for a fool
But as the light go down
There's no one left around
What will you do
Now you've hurt me
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
Hear what I'm saying it's not what I'm thinking
My head is like a chain of thoughts
Twisted in vain
When will you ever learn
That it's always the hard way
Now that we're through
I've nothing left to prove
To convince you
To convince you
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
You never cared what happened
Now you're the one who's laughing
Fool for love
Those rumours were true I was your fool
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay(Lennon/McCartney)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it outYou said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
You love him more when you should love him less.
I pick up behind him and take his mess.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
He love another woman and I love you,
But you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
Now you better leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand to see you pushed around.I feel like my hands are tied
I can't use them, I can't use them any more
I am waiting for someone to come to untie them
Yes untie me, just like before
You're on your high just now
I can't ride on it, that I won't allow
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Your heart
Playing with the game of chance
I know I'm ready
I want to make you understand
The answers are inside my head
Can't you see that
Can't you feel it
Then let go of my hand
You always give what I can take
That I know has been my mistake
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Your heart
You're on your high just now
I can't ride on it, that I won't allow
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heartYou gave me all that I got
And there's no one to blame
Yeah yeah I'm still missing you
There's no need for this anger
There's no need for this pain
Yeah yeah I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You take hell from your friends
Then you throw them away
Now they're no use to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heartYou say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all love to change the world
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all love to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You say you got a world solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask us for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can
But when you want money
for whom with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
Yeah, oh yeah
You know it's gonna be all rightHoney came in and he caught me red-handed
Laying on the bathroom floor
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given him the extra key
All this time he was standing there
He never took his eyes off me
It wasn't me
It wasn't me(chorus 1)
Pull up to the bumper, baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to the bumper, baby
And drive it in between
(chorus 2)
Pull it up
Don't drive through it
Back it up twice
Now that fits nice
(chorus 1)
(chorus 1)I doesn't feel right
The lights are too bright
I'm feeling uptight in my sensual world
I need to be you
I need to breathe too
I need to see through life
With these sensitive words
I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No air around me
I need to feel free
I'm private property
In my sensual world
No indecisions
I have a vision
There's no collision there
With these sensitive words
I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
All from too much choice yeh yeh
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'monSometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away from the pain
Your driving into the heart of me
The love we shared
Seems to go nowhere
And I lost my ride
For I toss and turn
Can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
You really don't want anymore from me
You make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry but I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
Gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you although you heart me so
Now it's time to take my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted loveJust stop you know you can't deny
Just stop you know there's no reply
I've had it all don't say that
Just stop and tell me it's good bye
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
This time you know you'll hesitate
Deep down you hope it's not too late
You said it all except good bye
I think it's time that we should try
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
Because I know
I still loved you
And I can't stay another day
Get away
You know I've got to get away
Get away
You know I've got to get away
You know I've got to get awayI've broken the neck
You played your last hand now
You prooved everything
Living this life
You should have learned
It's like winter without spring
You say that you love
Unlike my past lovers
You just don't have a clue
Some blue conversation
Each night
But none of this is true
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
Every night
We're thrown together
'Cause love won't let us part
We find something new
New in eachother
Yeah it's time you made a start
I want you to burn
I want you to miss me
Yeah when I'm not around
A new conversation
A man of his word
And some thunder in this town
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with youhave you still got the illusion
of what's lying ahead
then you'd still have your innocence
and days wouldn't seem so bad
but i've always wondered
why you've never grown
but now I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
storms always make you happy
but they hide everything inside
make believe that they're soft to touch
then they blind you with their light
that has always made me wonder
why you've never grown
but now, I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
yes you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
I know what you're needing
yes I do
but i've always wondered
why you've never grown
and now I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
yes, you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
oh that's what you're needing yeh
(take a little time for yourself)
oh take a little time
(live a little life on your own)
oh live a little life
(take a little time for yourself)
oh that's what you're needing
oh that's what you're needing
you gotta take a little time, yeh
oh live a little lifeOnce I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing,
only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing
but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing
and I'm feeling fine,
love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good,
you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing,
only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using,
please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behindYou never knew, when the world stood still
How I lost my head
You never knew, when you heard my name
How you had to go
When you left me so
Now you'll never know
Beliefs will never show
Come on, come on, come on
And rescue me
Didn't I glow for you
Didn't I show for you
Come on and rescue me
It's always been down to your behaviour
How you've lead the way
It's always been I never was a saviour
In the smallest case, you're just saving face
Now you'll never know
Beliefs will never show
Come on, come on, come on
And rescue me
Didn't I glow for you
Didn't I show for youPlease allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, whoYou take me down, down to your room
What could we find here
Don't pretend that you never knew
Knew this would happen
Cause you take, you take
And now you'll face the truth
It's your turn now, it's your turn now
You gave me love (x4)
It's morning now
Do you feel afraid lying there
And we speak to each other
Like we never met before
Cause you've attentions
Turn around one day
You've had your time
You gave me love (x4)
Come on and lay me down
Take a chance with me
and reach my brow
I said come on and lay me down
Take a chance with me
and reach my brow
I said come on and lay me down
Now take a chance with meIt's been so long
It's been a year since you've been here
You're looking good
Let's snatch a tune and have a beer
We'll have a heart to heart
There's talking to be done
No teardrops from the start
We've only just begun
Oh darling, please
You want the one
But you can never let him know
That it's been hard
In time you'll learn to let it go
You can't keep hanging on
You're feeling like you can't go home
I know your mind's made up
Though it feels as if it's come undone
Oh darling, please
Oh darling, please
It's just emotions that are
Running down inside your head
Yeah, we could talk on by
What's to left to say we haven't said
Oh darling, pleaseAll I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want to remember
All the love that I've now found
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
And I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
For you
For you
I say a prayer for you
For you
Oh you
A prayer for youI can think of better days
As I look into your eyes
And I feel that in a way
I know that you'll be alright
And he walks for a mile
It's his style
Baby never acts wild
Feels he's invencible
He walks for a while
But I never ask why
He needs his time in isolation
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
I'm gonna whisper in your ear
I've a lot of things to say to you
I'll give you all my universe
You're all I want and that's for sure
And he walks for a mile
It's his style
Baby never acts wild
Feels he's invencible
He walks for a while
But I never ask why
He needs his time in isolation
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
In your darkest hour
Take my hand and I'll show you
Understand it much better
I'll make sure you get there
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll knowOh, I remember you said can I fight and breathe
So now I always, always hold my breath you see
You're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit
I'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood
Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
It's been too long since I've tried to take the time
So now I'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime
When you brush against a stranger
And you both apologise
And when you see in them something you recognise
Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our heartsI can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
When we are together
Making love forever
I can't stand the rain
Against my windowSaid you got tired of the same old rock n roll
Let's anew at sunset, life with a lot more soul
Well I know you spend a lot of time alone in your head
Remember what you said
I never thought you'd be so easily lead
(Pre-)
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City
You said you got some on the city again, it's dreams
They make cuts in the heat while the siren screams
I couldn't believe someone like me would leave you so weak
We're dancing in the street
You know we don't need no sleep
(Pre-)
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City
And now the lights are burning out
And now the boys are turning back
But you stay here with me
In the city
And he said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit CityI never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babe
Now's my chance to breathe
Coming down you are too slow
Not to know about us
Listen now cause you're too near
To this maddening crowd without us
I never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babe
Now's my chance to breathe
Feeling down before you go
You should know about us
Listen now before you hear
From this maddening crowd about us
I never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babeAny time we have a conversation
It's never what you wanna hear
It's funny how much words can hurt you
Even after all these years
I wanna make an observation
'Bout how you tear your world apart
And every time I try to tell you
You blame it on your fickle heart
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
Waking up is never easy
So why don't you come over here
Tell me 'bout the dreams that haunt you
Tell me 'bout your secret fears
I wanna change your obsession
If only I could make you see
How it's all your own creation
That's bringing you this misery
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
The words you hear in your head
Were never said, were never said
The heart you break, you mistake
For me instead, for me instead
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
Hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of loveAttention annoys me I could disappoint
So just take a walk and try to avoid
The cars in the street now they could knock you down
So just take a bus it's a long way down
There's a ticket in my hand
If you want
I don't know what you think
* Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
Laughter annoys me makes me feel sad
Yes I wrote that book, can I have it back
There's black all around me and I'm lost in this crowd
There's no coming back cause I'm on my way down
There's a ticket in my hand
I can't use it without you
(*Repeat)
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you want to goListening I hear your voice
Together you and I have nothing left to carry on
And I'm seeing you slip away
Cause you never cared
You never even realised
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Wondering as I look outside
Changes all around
There's nothing left here to hide
And I'm asking you have you lost your soul
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Say to me what I want to hear
Say to me what I want to hear
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all awayWhere there are shadows
There will be light
You write that you know me
You'll wish that you were right
Fall into the playground
You think that you are wiser
But I know
That one day
That this will all be mine
Now you give me reason
To answer you with lies
You thought your years were with you
You're only sad not wise
So fall into the playground
You thought the game was yours
But I know
That one day
That this will all be mine
Yes, I know
That one dayI'm a long long way from yesterday
And with time my ideals change
I want to spend all of my time
The way that it should be spent
Road maps here of 20 towns
Flights a faithless place
I eat another Milk Bar down
Yawn and wash my face
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back away
Don't hide within yourself
There's a certain hill I want to climb
Like tar bubbles on the path
When they all pop up in summertime
Forever my climb will last
Road maps here of 20 towns
Flights a faithless place
I eat another Milk Bar down
Yawn and wash my face
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back away
Don't hide within yourself
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back awayEven now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
Tell me why
Were you so afraid
Somethings they turn out this way
Fire the bullet and find
That you don't know what you left behind
When we laid you to rest
Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid
You walk this line
You walk this line of hate
Where to people are so blind
Blind to the evil it creates
Never say too much
Never think out loud
Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
Tell me why were you so afraid
Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
You gave all you lived for
Whilst you kept your pride
Tell me why were you so afraidSunday is the saddest day
When we're apart everything I say
Gets in the way, gets into place
Of how I feel standing face to face
Sunday is the saddest day
All you want, all you breathe
You won't need to find another
* Tell me what is wrong, tell me where we belong
And what we said, tell it's only in my head
Show me who's to blame show me we're the same
And where we go, show me something I don't know
Sunday is the saddest day
Don't give me legends, ther're far too late
Your sweet crusader he got away
I know that's hard to take
Sunday is the saddest day
You don't want you don't need
Cause it's hard to pull together
(* Repeat)
Sunday is the saddest day
You pick apart everything I say
Sunday is the saddest day
All you want, all you breathe
You won't need to find anotherI'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
Well you say you need something
To help you where you're down, to take your fears away
Yeh you say you'd do anything
To keep your feet off the ground
And help you on your way
You're all I need
Yeh you are all that I need
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
When you see your reflection
You say it isn't you
Then you turn the other way
And I'm watching you suffer
Yourself and your painyou know there are times when you impress me
when you donÅ even try

I feel there's nothing you can do to turn me away
And I know that
In the past you've had bad luck so I should help you stay
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
When I close my eyes
And think of you it takes me places that I've never seen
And the rain, it blows
You're brushing up against my skin to wash me clean
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed - it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to doHow can I know which way to turn
Between my feelings and my dreams
I'm drowning in tennement oceans
There is more than this
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
It's raining on the kelvin
The rhythms never change
It's like a whisper
A whisper out of range
People can't convince me
I'll say again
I'm not ashamed
So how can I know which way to turn
When I walk on different grounds
No one can tell me
There is more than this
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
Lord find me, don't turn me away
Lord find me, don't turn me away
I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heartWhen I'm lost
You take my hand and make me burn
All of the time
Turn my life around
I feel lost, take my life and make me shine
You feel life, life won't let you down
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
So to life
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words
I'm what you long to hear
And a place we can go to is in my mind
I love life, there's no way you can be mine
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
All of the time
All of the time
All of the time
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
The comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and onAll these bruises keep you awake
I guess I'm just too tired to sleep
God only knows I'm too lost to cry
For kissing liars has kept me true
* I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely
I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely
He hates so much his love he says
Inside it's dark I need to smile
He shouts so loud I never hear
That's why the truth's always abused
As I slip into unconsiousness
I never felt so much to blame
(*Repeat)
As I slip into unconsiousness
I never felt so much to blameMe and the snow vines quiet light
Very overlaid and seen
I watch them falling from this category
But that's the risk I take
But that's the risk I take
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
And the stars are falling cold
I smell the hail and snow
Turning cold inside his locks of hair
But that's the risk I take
But that's the risk I take
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
But I got under your skinJust lately I've had a go
To find me a new world and candy home
All I needed was a little affection for my soul
Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind
So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Tell me who do you think you see?
Am I still the girl that you thought I'd be?
Do you care that I might be for real?
Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind
So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for

Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!Every night before I rest my head
Hold me close as I draw another breath
Still hoping, that our love's not broken
Every flight that we plan ahead
Look to the skies for the words that I've said
Still hoping, that our world's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh
Every morning when I wait for you
Each way I look you'll see something new
Still hoping, that my world's not broken
Every time I dream crazy dreams
Of bright water and brightless sunbeams
I'm hoping, that my mind's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stayI tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
I had to take some time
Take some time
You know I'm needing you for so much pleasure
I'm always wanting you to take me there
I need to be the one to tell you that you're on the right road
And how some time alone is only fair
You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I wish you'd known me when I was much younger
As I closed my eyes upon the world
But now an open mind which seems much stronger
A perfect doubting of your every word
You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
You know I'm renowned
For the lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
To stop me
I always wanted you to stop me
You never took the timeAll the money's on your hip now
Need to take another trip down
Protect all mothers for they lay in the path
I can deal with the lovers
Always dealt with dreams
But I've never known what reality means
Cause you're the sweetest thing
I've waited for
I feel so good about you
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
Lay me down to the right side
Tie me up till it feels fine
You know the uses and you've no compromise
Put it down with the two time
I always know when it feels right
I will if you will, I'm just taking my time
Cause you're the sweetest thing
I've waited for
I feel so good about you
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
Cause you're the sweetest thing

You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the powerAh ah ah
There are things I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed but I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore
Now reach out, you can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years, the days and the minutes
Yeah time has such a puzzling grace
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime
You have seen (ah, ah, ah) what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be (ah, ah, ah) in between
Something you just can't ignore
I just need to have your love
I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above
I just can't say no
(Ooh) it's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can't have
I just can't say no, I just can't say no
Hey, hey, hey
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)

(I just can't say no)
Some things you just can't ignoreMove in, move in
Move in, watch me move in
Invite me to a party
Hang some color on the walls
It makes me feel like eighteen
I'm gonna change things for us all
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Our world's turned round but that's okay
Yet things still look the same
People dancing so much
Keep it pushing come what may
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
I see the lights are low now
But still the faces glow
A year that's full of zeros
Yet who knows what that holds
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Lead on
Move in, move in
Oh the music goes
Remember now the times we had
And I feel it pushing on, baby
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
I feel it's pushing
Push against me
Move in, move in
Please, stop
Remember now the times we had
I feel the music
Inside me
Move in, watch me move inyeh i'm gonna make you wonder

Nobody told me where it began
No one believes in you
I understand
Like a blind man who's lost his way
No one hears a word of what you say
I forgive you
Would you do the same
I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true
Everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its insane for me
Its insane for you
Its insane
I don't know where you been looking
I think it's only in your mind
Tied so tight inside of you all the thoughts unkind
I would believe you If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true
* Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
It's the same for me
It's the same for you
It's insane
I would believe you if only you'd be true
I'm getting older and I can't escape timeBright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her seems so obsene
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
* She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her
For her blindness she sees much further
Like on a wide screen viewing going down on her
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing
She has a haloI saw him today at the station
There was something on his mind
I felt I was on the devil's mission
Trying to steal him from a friend
I know it hurts you
And you can't ask why
I know it hurts you
Takes a train to cry
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
You've been living life in the past
I'm gonna reach out I'm gonna grab your heart
You've been living life in the eyes of a stranger
You've gotta free your mind
Cause I want to get nearer
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
Take the chance and make the move
But don't think that I will approve
For once I've finally realised
Being with her wasted your life
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
Your only future is promises
For so many yearsSometimes it seems like winter's end
The weeks they just go on like a friend of mine
The sadness, it has left a trace
I think that you can see that on my face again
'Cause it always made things better
Now my days seem so much better
Now my days seem so much quieter
And I know, yeah, I know
It will never be the same again
Sometimes I feel my hands are tied
I need someone to come and cut these ropes of mine
They'll wear a coat of wind and rain
To drive away the fears that I can't face again
And they always make things betterTwenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind

And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
What I am is what you want of me
Yeah, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned and I don't care
And when I get that feeling

For it's no longer fun

And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
I've said goodnight, try to sleep tight
Ah, just dream of me
Go, close your eyes 'cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeah
Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons

And you can tell me your reasons

Words imprison you they say
Maybe there was something you can do
I look around there's no resisting truth
Just breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Yeah, breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Just leave it now
And let your mind roam free
Help me get you through the night

Turn another page in the Red Book
Then you'll see
Turn another page in the Red Book
Then you'll see
Turn another page in the Red BookNow we've traveled far
But are we any nearer
There's a feeling we're reaching for
In the fields where it all began
Listen, do you hear
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty feeling grows
And I'm scared that I would forget
But I, I can remember
Look around you now
There's people still hanging on
See, it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to
Me and you
Just a boy and girl
Trying to change a cold world
I don't expect that you'd understand
When you look at this empty land
But I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And I, I can remember them
Be it night or day like lovers left holding on
See, it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to
Me and you
And I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And I, I can remember them
Be it night or day like lovers left holding on
And I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And on and on and on and on
Keep me holding onHold me close and understand
It's now that I need you
There's so much doubt when I'm alone
I'm wrapped in clothes of blue
And I need you to assure me
Always be near me
I'm thinking about the times to come
And already what we've done
It's only when I see you smile
You open up my world
Oh, I want you to laugh again
Join our hands and laugh again
Lead ourselves through time
And I need you to assure me
Always be near me"Non, je suis en retard (No, I'm late)
Il faut que je sois à 9h10 à la télé (I have to be on TV by 9.10)"
(Note : those two lines are not in the transcript)
A perfect face comes calling
A perfect hand reaches out
Her perfect face in the morning
December girl feels the same
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
* She's blonde on white, white on blonde
Her perfections are now gone, reflections everywhere
If you gaze for too long it will fade and then it's gone
Refelections everywhere
Imagine naked legs calling
Walking barefoot in the rain
Imagine freezing cold weather
December girl feels the same
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
(*Repeat)
A perfect face comes calling
A perfect hand reaches out
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was downYou pushed away your rocking chair
Your seven years of living
Choose to think it over, you could try
You held beauty on your knee
You felt you were so giving
You made one feel special, then goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
It's so in you're nature
To keep your face well hidden
Make a fox feel proud, you're so sly
Cannot play this game
My heart's tired, are we sinking?
You made me once feel special, say goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
So push away you're rocking chair
That seven years of giving
No time to think it over, so don't try
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Where did you sleep last night?I find you're on my back again
Cause your husband's weighing you down
And you say you find it hard to cope
Feel like leaving and not going home
Sister, I thought you were stronger than me
But I guess you've lost the way
And I see your confusion oh, so clear
Yet you love him more each day
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed, you're still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
I guess that it's too soon to tell
But I wish that you'd wake up
cause somehow you still believe in him
And you give him all your love
Seven months already gone
Do you feel you've let yourself down
And all I can do is sit and watch
Watch him change your mind
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed, you're still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
Take my hand there's still time
Take my hand there's still time
My head is filled with words to say
But I only find them slip away
I know it's hard to let it go
Take my hand
Take my hand there's still time
Sister take my hand there's still time
I know it's hard to let it goI see your hands they're on me
Just when you say hello
You see your words they drown me
Then there's a warmth below
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
I feel this rhythm draw me
But will I get my way
Your body slides beneath me
"Keep talking" I'll say
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Falling with you
Falling with you
......
Well I wanted to know this love's forever
Wanted to feel this free together
Wanted to sleep, just dream whenever
Falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
See my life just falling with you
See my life just falling with youI'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over youI'm taking my time
I'll fix it, don't worry now
I'm needing you there
Make sure that you're coming too
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
Is something to pursue
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Grown ups don't know
How to dream anymore
Their heads in the sand
And they choose to ignore it all
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
Is something to pursue
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
A man inside the boy
You think I'm a saintWhy did I give you my soul
When I knew there'd be nothing in return
You forgot what it's like
Now there's noweher left to run
Maybe, maybe you can hear it in the words I say
Cause I don't like what I see
And I've been living with it everyday
So make it now
Or turn around and change your ways
Don't take me
Don't take me down that lonesome road again
Cause I don't think no, no
I don't hink that I could take the strain
Yeah, I'm breathing out
But I surely won't be giving in
Yeah, yeahAre you ready maybe are you willing to run
Are you ready to let yourself drown
Are you holding your breath
Are you ready or not
Are you ready maybe do you long to confess
Do you feel that you're already numb
Are you sure of yourself
Would you lie if you're not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen
* So put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Cause only time can take you
So let me believe that I am someone else
Maybe are you ready to break
Do you think that I push you too far
Would you open yourself
Are you reckless or not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen
(* Repeat)
So put your arms around me
So put your arms around me
Make me believe
Take me, take me somewhere, somewhere
Let me believeAll I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that I've found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for youListen
Be what you wanna be
Do what you wanna do
It's your life
It's your life, it's your world
Well this is Texas alongside Suncycle
Dynamite, Yeah
ooooohh
ooooohh
You're fine
It's only in your own small head
There's nothing you can lose or share
So listen
You should know how it is to be alone
You're going nowhere at last
Yes you know that this time
You must take what you find
And I'll be who I want
'Cos this is a place in my world, flashing lights
Yeah tonight is my night
And I'll be who I want
You walked into a place in my world
What do you have?
I wanna know
What do you know?
You're so late
Acting like you know it all
Laughing when I took the fall
So listen
I know you lie
Everyone around you
You're the storm that brings them home
Yes you know that this time
You must take what you find
And I'll be who I want
'Cos this is a place in my world, flashing lights

Listen
What do you know?
What do you have?
What do you know?
What do you have?There's only one reason left for me to stay
But you won't like the reason why
Tried so many times to get through the two of you
But you don't even want to try
Times are hard and people need all they have got
Look around and see what's left today
Ain't so easy making it on your own
What more do I need to say
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
Never knew a good thing
Till it moved away
Now it's too late to turn it back
You'd buy the world if it would make me stay
Listen now to what I have to say
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
Sitting here thinking
But nothing seems to change
And I can't stand it anymore
There's always someone trying to pull you down
Do you really want this constant war
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help itNo, nevermind
'Cause you're home now
Yeah, you're home
Time never hides
We're alone now
Leave it all behind
Wherever I go I know, I'll tell you
It's just another place, we can go to
So get on board
You gave it all, don't take it back
Been up all night, just talking
The day is dawning
It's early morning
So, catch your breath
It's so clear now
'Cause you're here now
Wherever I go I know, I'll tell you

And let me in
Cause I want to feel
Feel the rain on my my skin
I want a heaven
A heaven of our own
All I want is a heaven
There is where we'll be alone
I held you to me
And felt my eyes grow dim
Took your hand
And felt the warmth from within
Unchain the storm
Then lose the way
Now paint the dark
A dew of silver grey
I want a heaven
A heaven of our own
All I want is a heaven
There is where we'll be alone
Heaven, oh

Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna' last
But now I've got someone who cares for me
(Yeah)
Wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(You said)
I was the best you've ever had
Because I'm in demand
(Hey)
You're thinking of the way you should've of held my
(Hand)
And all the times you'd say you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your
(Plans)
But now I'm in demand
I never think you saw the best of me
There's a side you'll never know
'Cause love and loving are two different things
Set your sights far too low
But now I've got someone who cares for me
(Yeah)
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(You said)

(Yeah)
Never had our love written in your plansI don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me then
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room in there for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never caredI feel bad and beautiful
In all the strangest places
You feel good, you're sweetest
The weather's changing as I look at your face
Falling, fall to the floor
Falling, you know we can
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
So many songs in my mind
Maybe less 'cause I've drunk so much wine
There's light in your eyes
But out the window it's gone dark outside
Falling, fall to the floor
Falling, you know we can
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
It'll be alright
If you stay tonight
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
(It'll be alright)
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
(It'll be alright)
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)Open the window I need some air
So many people and there's such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
And to distract I watch the passers by
I wonder what they'd recognize
And what they'd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
Inside they harbour secret thoughts
They peek through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
I fold my arms and pray to leave
I've got a headful of ideas inside of me
My lips pressed tight so as not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
