greg stephens | To be a pilgrim/Thatcher's funeral (44) | To be a pilgrim/Thatcher's funeral | 17 Apr 13 |
Of the many things about this funeral I don't like, the use of the hymn "To be a pilgrim" stands out. The fabulous words of the very radical and persecuted-by-authority John Bunyan, the lovely English folk tune, rejigged and arranged by the very populist artistic-power-to-the-people Ralph Vaughan Williams: what right have this woman and her running jackals got to hijack such a fabulous slice of our culture? |
