GUEST,Observer Lyr Add: William Wallace (Jim McLean) (21) RE: Lyr Add: William Wallace (Jim McLean) 20 Jun 21


So Gallus exactly who are those referred to as "foreign scum" and do you think at any time the inclusion of such a term is acceptable in a song? No idea what this song is protesting about, historically it is riddled with howling inaccuracies

"The Wallace" is a title of a 15th century epic poem. No such person as William the Wallace it was just simply William Wallace who fought in support of John Balliol's claim to the Scottish Throne [So so much for the Scottish Republican Army crap] and by the way as Balliol had sworn an oath of fealty to King Edward I of England THAT meant that Wallace's actions were treasonous.

Now as I am NOT, nor have I ever laid claim to being, a professional musician, performer, entertainer how many songs do I have to have written [I believe that you write songs and compose music] to pass an opinion on something? My guess is NONE.

As for being judgemental - I think quite honestly the words pot, kettle and black apply to both yourself and your contributions. Do I like the song - no because it is drivel - can say that I hold the same opinion of SOME songs by Bob Dylan and other "Greats" - But that is what personal taste and opinion is all about. Agreeing with you and your calls for censorship was never, nor should it ever be part of any equation apart from one applicable to you and you alone.
