Paradise is a song written by John Prine. The song is about the impact of coal mining both while in activity and what happens to the area once the coal mining ends. The song references a now-defunct town called Paradise in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The Green River is also an actual river in Kentucky. The lyrics are as follows: When I was a child my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my memories are worn. Chorus: And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill. Repeat Chorus: Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man. Repeat Chorus: When I die let my ashes float down the Green River Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am.

William Ayers: In 1969 Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1986 Haymarket Riot. The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway. He participated in the Days of Rage riot in Chicago that October, and in December was at the "War Council" meeting in Flint, Michigan. The following year he "went underground" with several associates after the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which Weatherman member Ted Gold, Ayers' close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers girlfriend, Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb that was under construction exploded. Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson survived the blast. Ayers was not facing criminal charges at the time, but the federal government later filed charges against him. While underground, he and fellow member Bernardine Dohrn married, and the two remained fugitives together, changing identities, jobs and locations. The Weathermen were initially part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) within the SDS, splitting from the RYM's Maoists by claiming there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States government and the capitalist system should begin immediately. Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements" to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism." Tony Rezko who was born in Syria is an American political fundraiser, restaurateur, and real estate developer in Chicago, Illinois. Barack Obama-Tony Rezko connection goes back more than 15 years. Tony Rezko has financed Barack Obama's run for State Senate and U.S. Senate. Asked about Rezko and the slum condition of the eleven housing projects in his district Obama said "I didn't know". Eleven major housing projects being forclosed on and Obama didn't know? Tony Rezko was also a major contributer to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign. He made Rezko a finance committee member, and attending Rezko fundraisers. Obama acceped over $150,000 in donations from Tony Rezko. Obama also seeked out Tony Rezko to help him buy a mansion. Obama saved $300,000 on his $1.9 million mansion home in a Rezko land deal. Rezko's wife bought the ajoining lot to the mansion and then sold part of it to Obama. This all occurred while the FBI was investigating Rezko. When asked about his association with Rezko Obama stated "This is an area where I can see a lapse in judgment." It seems Barack Obama has a serious problem in the judgment department. Real estate developer Tony Rezko went trial in a Chicago federal courtroom on political corruption charges. He was found guilty of fraud. Rezko doesn't deny his role as a high-powered money man for major Democrats — including presidential candidate Barack Obama when Obama served in the Illinois Legislature.
