To be fair, Captain Birdseye, with your initial post on the resurrecting this post wasn't about djembe drummers or guitarists playing out of rhythm, it was the fact that someone sang about a 'blue cockade' rather than the 'white cockade' which you're more familiar with.

There's no real intrinsic colour to a cockade. They come in all different colours, have been adopted by various organisations to stand for different things and are found in different regions all over the world.

I really don't see the problem here. The only time I could see it being an issue is if someone wants cockades in general to be white due to some attachment of the notion that it's a poke in the eye regarding some 200-250 year old 'anti-English' cause.

I'd like to hope that isn't the case here.
