JamesJim Folk Songs for Conservatives (80* d) RE: Folk Songs for Conservatives 13 Apr 00


I'm reminded of one of my favorite Pete Seeger folk songs (reported to have been found on a bathroom wall in a retirement home); "My Get Up And Go Has Got Up And Went." And my favorite verse; "As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself, is there anything else I can lay on the shelf? First Bush, then Clinton, I surely am vexed; but I'll still stick around to see what happens next."

I began my life as a Liberal and as I have gotten older, I have become more Conservative. No matter; I still love folk music. Oh, by the way, could that verse be changed in the next US election? "First Clinton, then Bush."..etc. Let's carry it a step further. In another future election, maybe it changes back to; "First Bush, then Clinton" - Hillary is still lurking, you know. Don't take this stuff too seriously! Jim
