06 May 99 - 09:17 AM (#76071) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Rick Fielding Gotta be the "Are Debbie Boone and Daniel Boone related"? |

06 May 99 - 10:48 AM (#76091) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: bored in the boondocks that thread must have been over two years ago, Rick, if you have the right title. A forum search yielded only a "Daniel Boone" thread, with no mention of Debbie in any of the messages. |

06 May 99 - 02:08 PM (#76147) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: SeanM And I'd like to nominate that last entry to be moved over to the 'More Music Less BS!' Thread, with an addendum to review the current contents of it... M |

06 May 99 - 02:40 PM (#76153) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Bert I think it's a given that 'anything' in 'this' thread is a joke. |

06 May 99 - 02:47 PM (#76155) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Rick Fielding Just can't make up my mind today. Guess "more music less B.S." will have to do until something worse comes along. |

06 May 99 - 03:23 PM (#76158) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Alice considering most folk and blues songs are about love, loss, historical events, conflict, emotions, etc., ... would most of the lyrics in the DT be considered "sappy", if recent threads about Catspaw, Columbine, etc., are "sappy"? Webster's... one definition of sappy is "immaturely sentimental". Since most of us discussing these events seem to be the over 40 Mudcatters, I submit that we are mature enough to have personally experienced the death of loved ones, the raising of children, and the weight of civic responsibilities. This is why the current subjects have captured our concern. Sentimental, maybe, but a mature sentimentality - the stuff of which folk songs are born. |

06 May 99 - 08:53 PM (#76232) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Big Mick If one does not see the connection between folk/blues music, the conditions that people are living under, the politics that affect their lives, and the current events at the time they were written, probably ought to change over to pop standards or something that is non topical. Everything about our music, and especially in the last 75 years or so, has to do with making a statement, be it political, or on the conditions which people live under, etc. I think the 'Cat is enhanced by these discussions. It makes it interesting. So if you are not interested, just don't read them. Mick |

06 May 99 - 11:38 PM (#76277) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: sharon How can a thread be bad? Sometimes I see ones which do not interest me, but then again sometimes I go to the seemingly off-the-wall ones, and there is where we seem to be having the most fun for a while. Just because we are music oriented people, doesn't mean that we can't discuss what's happening in the world around us, or laugh at the levity of bumper stickers, or lament the hatred and violence which frightens us at times. I'm glad that mudcatters are real people who laugh and cry and sing about every topic imaginable. Let's not change.... The variety found here is part of what makes this place so irresistable. |

07 May 99 - 04:01 AM (#76323) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Shula Dear Sandy, Your sartorial segue put me in mind of a thread requesting "heave up" songs. It wasn't actually about the regurgitation of partially digested stomach contents, but, never having heard the term before, I was in some consternation at the prospect. So, perhaps it is the answer to a different query, one that would require: The most revolting (or least appetizing) thread TITLE. Shula |

07 May 99 - 04:09 AM (#76326) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: leprechaun I didn't catch the "heave" thread, but I wonder if they decided it was an onomatopoeia. |

07 May 99 - 11:03 PM (#76606) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Joe Offer Hey, the Heave Up thread was a perfectly good topic until some woman with a Virginia dialect came in and perverted it.... -Joe Offer, lost in Colorado and trying to find the Boone thread- |

08 May 99 - 02:30 PM (#76739) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Rick Fielding Well, I guess before you nominate a REALLY bad thread you should do as complete a search as your old eyelids can manage. That was my first mistake. If anyone can top Aug. 17..8:37 pm., I don't wanna know about it! Welcome back Joe. If you have any more thoughts on your trip to Colorado, I for one, would like to know them. It all helps. |

08 May 99 - 03:23 PM (#76745) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: katmuse (inactive) Rick, save my ol' eyelids along with all my time-eating diversions: How do I find Aug.17, 8:37 pm (now that you've piqued my curiosity)? (Fairly new to Mudcat, trying to get the hang of searching for anything in the threads.) The "worst" anything is certainly worth looking at! Much better than the "best" anything! Would it be _topping_ that one or _bottoming_ that one, if one could only find it? katmuse |

09 May 99 - 09:24 PM (#77072) Subject: RE: Worst threads? From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Nobody liked my Suicides' Christmas thread, with proposals for the most depressing Christmas songs in existence. (For the record, my choices are "First Christmas" by Stan Rogers, and "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot", by an author whose name escapes me at the moment.) |
