My interest is setting the historical record straight. I have very little to contribute musically, and am in awe of the musical knowledge here.. Accurate history, however, is obviously a minor consideration for an amazing number of Mudcatters whose dial is always set on "outrage"--and don't want to trouble themselves to actually learn anything.

No particular Catter meant, of course. Perish the thought.



I ran across something wonderfully apropos recently.

Some people mistake ideology for thought.

Sorry, there is a difference.

Perhaps someday even some left of center Mudcatters--not all, some already recognize it--will learn this. Of course some right of center posters need to learn it also. And then there are the just confused--like the ones who want to attribute all the world's ills to--Mexicans, religion, "affirmative action", etc.--you pick the villain du jour.

But a simplistic approach to history serves no one.
