I saw Ebert & Roeper's review the other night. Roger said it wasn't as satirical as it might be because it was too close to reality. I gotta admit, some of the guys looked AWFULLY familiar. But then, Garrison Keillor once did a skit about a church youth group doing folk performances that was the story of my teenaged life. Our biggest hit show was at the state mental hospital...

I played the Kingston Trio's version of "Santy Anna" for my daughter, who learned traditional chanteys at the Hyde Street Pier Chantey Sing. She rolled on the floor in hysterics. But the other night, as I was singing it, I realized that that was where I learned "The Greenland Fisheries", and I'm still using the same words. Oh well, I guess we can't escape our past.
