GUEST,Jeremiah McCaw Hamilton Camp? (20) RE: Hamilton Camp? 11 Apr 04


"He and She". Damn fine show.

My first awareness of Hamilton Camp as a songwriter was when Gordon Lightfoot recorded "Pride of Man" on his first album (way, WAY back).

Very intense, strong imagery. And after the initial shock and disbelief of Nine Eleven, one of the first things that came to my mind was the verse:

"And Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame;
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame.
Oh God, the pride of man,
Broken in the dust again."

Chilled me to the core.
