I recently picked up a book called Sixty Ribald Songs from Pills to Purge Melancholy (by S.A.J. Bradley, published in 1967), and I'd like to know more about the original Pills to Melancholy. I guess Mudcat is no longer the appropriate place to discuss stuff like that, huh?
I suppose Dave's original post posed a bit of a problem because it led in two directions. You could look on it as a start of a discussion of Pills, which could be pretty interesting; or you could see it as a funny thread about misunderstandings. Why couldn't it be both?
I've been gone most of the last 6 weeks and I've been laying low this week because of the flu, but I've been lurking now and then. Seems there have been a lot of harsh words exchanged lately. I wish that wouldn't happen.
There's something wrong here, and it's been wrong all year. I wish we could figure out an amicable solution.
I guess I'm one of those who likes to have a beer or two and a little conversation and joke around a bit, but I come mostly to listen to the band. It really bugs me when the cocktail chatter gets so loud I can't hear the music. I know those of you on your fourth martini don't understand, but I've been having a lot of trouble hearing the band around here lately.
