Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Nov 07 - 01:08 PM Take a moment and visualize John Hardly in a thong thinging that thong . . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 07 - 12:12 PM Man...I can just hear Neil Diamond emoting his way through that one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 07 - 11:36 AM Yeah....aging is tough, allright. But, hey man...you haven't seen me in a thong. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Amos Date: 01 Nov 07 - 11:32 AM Bobert is not likely to be in trouble for not showing enough skin, LH. Too much, yeah, I could see that. None of us is as young, lithe and good to look at as we like to imagine we are anymore, and many of us never were! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Richard Bridge Date: 01 Nov 07 - 02:52 AM The Groundhogs - Thank Christ for the Bomb. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 07 - 01:04 AM Here's another idea: Instead of the usual political stuff...start threads about chimps. You will get a response. Any situation can be improved with the addition of a chimp or two. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 07 - 12:42 AM JeeZUS! How did I miss this thread all this time? Hey, Stilly, that was one hell of a funny song you posted back there. YEE-HAH! Okay...Bobert... The way I see it, there are a coupla possibilities. 1. Maybe you're not showing enough skin? 2. You've offended Teribus, and he's PM'd all his many, many political friends here...(ahem!)...to give you the silent treatment from now on? 3. George Bush has had Homeland Security blacklist you? 4. You're not showing enough skin? (No, wait, I already said that, didn't I?) Hell, maybe it's just the wrong time of year or something. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Nov 07 - 12:22 AM He has been quiet for a couple of days. Is frost threatening the last of his garden crops? I've had to cover the remaining tomatoes once (I'm in a warmer zone). He may be getting ready to freeze and cook and can what's left. Great time of year for putting in soup veggies. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: TIA Date: 01 Nov 07 - 12:09 AM Never met Bobert. Don't know if the keyboard sounds like the voice. Don't care. I like the posts, and suspect I would like the person. Keep posting. You will hear from me when I think you are full of shit. Promise. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Oct 07 - 05:59 PM Bobert...yeah, well...he's okay. Nice sort of guy. A pinko, of course, but who isn't? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Peace Date: 30 Oct 07 - 05:50 PM I like the guy, and that's that! |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Ebbie Date: 30 Oct 07 - 04:34 PM I agree with Amos- I don't find it distracting at all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Amos Date: 30 Oct 07 - 04:19 PM I don't find it distracting -- it sounds just like him!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Oct 07 - 03:15 PM Ya know I love you, Bobert, so all I will say is what I think I said when you first joined, and that is that the dialect your character affects in text is very distracting to the fine thoughts that go on in that wise (old!) head of yours. You don't talk that way in person, and sometimes? I just don't have the patience to sort through all the hillbillyisms. Also I agree with most of what you say about Bush, so I usually don't bother to read your political posts anymore since I assume that I know what they will say for the most part, and since I assume I will usually agree with them. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 29 Oct 07 - 06:42 PM Well, I been thinkin' 'bout it all day seein' as I got like, ahhhh, 5 days and the only song that keeps comin' in my heasd is one that I know purdy well and will get me kilt and that is... ..."Masters of War"... Might even get me arrestecated, too... |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Rapparee Date: 29 Oct 07 - 09:31 AM So sing some stuff like "Galveston" and "Black Snake Moan" and forget the anti-war, anti-Bush stuff. Hell, Bobert, I double-dare you to sing "Ballad of the Green Berets." No, I triple-dare you! Seriously, just sing some regular stuff. You might also be surprised. There's a whole different deal out there now -- supporting soldiers isn't supporting Bush, et al. It's not like it was during the 'Nam Time, although some folks don't understand that. Ya see, by calling up so many Reserve and NG units, Bush personalized this war: relatives, friends, neighbors are gone, not some faceless draftee from the ghetto. And those folks are coming back and being sent again and again and again, which makes the relatives, friends, neighbors, and employers a bit pissed off. So they show their support for the guys who have been taken, which doesn't necessarily translate into support for the folks who sent them. Just do some regular stuff and you'll be cool. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 29 Oct 07 - 08:28 AM I'll load yer song tonight, SRS, when I have more pudder time... The problem with doing this gig is, other than the musicans, most of the folks who will fill up the gym are Bush/war supporters... (Well, don't do it then, Bobert...) I kinda have to do it... Politics.... I'm right in the middle of trying to get a "special use" exception for the old' hotel that I bought and am in the process of renovating and can't have anyone mad at me... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Oct 07 - 12:24 AM Bobert, Take a listen to that link I sent. Maybe you'll consider it as a sing-along at this event [not!]. (Well, it is amusing to contemplate, at any rate!) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: artbrooks Date: 29 Oct 07 - 12:20 AM Yellow Ribbon? That would be the original...around her neck... rather than the other one. I'd plead for you to be very careful. Many of us experienced the anti-war movement of the 60s as an anti-soldier (anti-us!) movement rather than what it was intended to be. Having a seven-year-old girl sent over by her mother in an airport to ask how many babies I had killed (I was in uniform, just returned from Vietnam and just got out of the Army) left an indelible impression. A concert to support the soldier and to support the families is not the time and place for anti-war songs, because the message gets confused very quickly and will never get unconfused. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Rapparee Date: 28 Oct 07 - 10:23 PM How about Bourgeois Blues (Leadbelly) Bush War Blues (Billy Bragg) Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime? Win The War Blues (Sonny Boy Williamson) Peace To The World (BB King) That's How I Feel (Brownie McGhee) I Don't Wanna Go To Vietnam (John Lee Hooker) Vietcong Blues (Junior Wells) Iffen ya need more, let me know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Rapparee Date: 28 Oct 07 - 10:06 PM There's also "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay." I find it very easy to support the troops without supporting you-know-who and his whatchamacallit. And here's an interesting tid-bit from the "Letters" section of the most recent issue of "Legion" magazine (the official voice of the American Legion): a CWO writes from Iraq that US bases there are not permitted to fly the US flag for fear that it would a) make the US look like an occupying force (duh!) and b) might anger some of the indigenous people (double duh!). |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Peace Date: 28 Oct 07 - 09:12 PM Bobert: it's an oldie: "Galveston" by Glen Campbell. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Ebbie Date: 28 Oct 07 - 09:03 PM Beaubie, the lyrics you've posted sound good to me for today's audiences! |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Peace Date: 28 Oct 07 - 09:00 PM Good to see you back, buddy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 28 Oct 07 - 08:56 PM Nevermind, Brucie... I found it... Ain't gonna work for no "Support the Troops" thing... Might of fact, looks like I ain't got nuthin' in my repetiore that fills this bill... Maybe I'll just go out and do "Masters of War" and see how that goes over... I'm in deep poo here... Guess that I'll do the first 15 minute version of "Drummer Boy"... Hope my harp player shows... Gonna be a long 15 minutes... (No, Bobert... Why not just do one of yer 10 minute rants about the Bush administration and how screwed up the Iraq War is???) Hmmmmmmm??? Now there's an idea... Definately NOT!!! Like I said, I'm is the deep poo here.... But I have experience in being in deep poo... No matter, the Los Lobos song is cool and I will get it learnt up for future gigs... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 28 Oct 07 - 08:10 PM Well, Eb, it's an obscure song that was wriiten by Fred Dobbs... It was covered by an obscure band, Hearts Field... I used to do it back in the 70's in coffee house performances... "Way back many years ago, way back many years ago Once upon a spring time... of 1861 The country was divided then, the country was divided then Different ways of livin'... cross the Mason Dixon Line Lived way back a Southern way, lived way back a Southern way Ayoung boy and his mama and a ahome that daddy built Two men knockin' at the door, tweo men knockin' at the door Lookin' for a volunteer... to be a drummer boy Chorus: Sonny Boy wants to leave his home Sonny Boy wants to be a man Th keep the time of the marchin' feet He's off to be... a drummer boy Mama, mama, can you hear, Mama, mama, can you hear The cannons on the distant shores There was hope for freedom... and an end to war He drummed so strong and traveled far He drummed so strong and traveled far At Richmond and at Shiloh and the fields of Gettysburg Gun shot thundered over head, gun shot thundered over head The horrors that a war can bring for a young boy's eyes to see Chorus Mama, mama, don't you cry... Mama, mama, don't you cry Your son is sure a hero Thank the Lord if he comes home Chorus" ***Well, that might not be the exact words that Fred Dobbs wqrote but I think it's purdy close... That's the way I always have done it... No, it ain't a blues song... Think about a marching drum... That's the way I do it... 1-5-4 chords... Pick yer key... Beaubear |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: bobad Date: 28 Oct 07 - 08:06 PM The Drummer Boy of Shiloh^^^ (Will S. Hays) On Shiloh's dark and bloody ground The dead and wounded lay, Amongst them was a drummer boy Who beat the drums that day. A wounded soldier held him up His drum was by his side; He clasped his hands, then raised his eyes And prayed before he died. He clasped his hands, then raised his eyes And prayed before he died. Look down upon the battle field, Oh, Thou our Heavenly Friend! Have mercy on our sinful souls! The soldiers cried, "Amen! " For gathered 'round a little group, Each brave man knelt and cried. They listened to the drummer boy Who prayed before he died. They listened to the drummer boy Who prayed before he died. "Oh, mother," said the dying boy, "Look down from Heaven on me, Receive me to thy fond embrace- Oh, take me home to thee. I've loved my country as my God; To serve them both I've tried." He smiled, shook hands---death seized the boy Who prayed before he died; He smiled, shook hands---death seized the boy Who prayed before he died. Each soldier wept, then, like a child, Stout hearts were they, and brave; The flag his winding sheet, God's Book The key unto his grave. They wrote upon a simple board These words: "This is a guide To those who'd mourn the drummer boy Who prayed before he died; To those who'd mourn the drummer boy Who prayed before he died." Ye angels' round the Throne of Grace, Look down upon the braves Who fought and died on Shiloh's plain, Now slumb'ring in their graves! How many homes made desolate? How many hearts have sighed? How many, like that drummer boy, Who prayed before they died; How many, like that drummer boy, Who prayed before they died!^^^ Midi |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Ebbie Date: 28 Oct 07 - 07:37 PM Hmmmm Now, you've got me interested. I assume you are referring to 'Little Drummer Boy of Shiloh'. I found many references to it but no lyrics (Ronnie Milsap's recording said that "the artist decided not to release the words.' With your scintillating ability to find things online, Bruce, have you found them?

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 28 Oct 07 - 07:01 PM Hey, Brucie... I can't get all the words but I have this little situation... This coming Saturday night, Page County is having a little "Support the Troops" concert at the high school and about 8 performers and/or bands will be playin'... I only have one song that is topical... It's an ol' song entitled "Drummer Boy" that probably no one here has ever heard of about a drummer boy during the War Between the States... Seein' as we're 'sposed to do 15 minutes, I reckon I could do this song if I had the words... Can you help me with 'um??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Ebbie Date: 28 Oct 07 - 06:36 PM That Los Lobos song strikes me as being miles above, both in execution and in content, any Beatles recording. But that's just me; I'm sure it isn't fair to compare such unlike songs. (You may have noticed that I'm not a Beatles fan. They lost me with their first five or so songs but I have no objection to listening to any song if I cannot tell it's the Beatles. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Bobert Date: 28 Oct 07 - 06:23 PM What I am afraind of is the tool dox that Bush will be leaving for the next prez... Ain't like all this "executive power" is gonna evaporate when Bush leaves... He and Cheney have carved out quite a bit of power that passes on, regardless of who is next... Lotta Bushites don't think about that... They should 'cause with the tools the Bush is leaving Hillary, she could just declare all Bushites as war criminals and send the entire bunch of them to some secret prison in some other country... Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Capt'n, but that's the scenerio... Executive powers are here to stay... Ahhhhh, I have the LosLobios song loading, Brucie, but with mty pea-shooter dial up it may yake a couple hours... Then I can get 'round to SRS's... |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: kendall Date: 28 Oct 07 - 04:44 PM Bobert, ol' buddy, tell ys what, if congress would stand up and take back its power, she wouldn't have the authority to bomb Iran. Only Congress can declare war. Tell me, exactly what are you afraid of? Is that it? |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Oct 07 - 02:16 PM Kind of a toe-tapper, isn't it, Spaw? ;-D |

Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Amos Date: 28 Oct 07 - 11:21 AM Well, it's for both, I would say. The biggest offense is being dumb while president, which is like driving while smashed -- it requires both parts. And there are other similarities, as well, such as putting innocents at risk. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Critique Requested... From: Richard Bridge Date: 28 Oct 07 - 04:27 AM Joe, surely one does not take the piss out of a dumb president for being dumb, but for being a president. |
