Stilly River sage: "Guest from Sanity, if you don't even have the ambition to actually JOIN Mudcat, why are you standing here bellowing at the top of your lungs?"

You know, I already used that same 'argument' about 'illegal' aliens, or immigrants, to be politically correct...and the usual gang of bellowers argued how it was OK to come into our country, and breaking our laws to do it, and we should suck up to their demands....and you guys said I was all wrong....but now you take the opposite side....and this is ONLY a website/forum!!.... and unlike them, I'm NOT breaking any rules! What gives??
So by that rationale, you're being irrational!...or at best, a tad inconsistent!.....(now really)

Stilly River Sage: "Give. It. A. Rest. Please. I don't read this kind of thread often, and you're the reason why."

So, I'm good for the 'click-count' monetization??....Jeez, several people are like that....get all their knickers in a twist, like a Sumo wrestler...about my posts....that 'nobody reads'.
....I didn't join this thread till nearly a 100 posts...and it wouldn't have gone on so long, by all the drifting tactics....all you had to do was answer the question, within the first 5 posts.....or 10, or 100, or 150..or 200!..That ain't MY FAULT!..is it? I was just sticking to the topic, and had several great supportive posts deleted chasing the answer down...and did I ever jump anyone's shit about anything????
NO....just watching a bunch of guys fall all over themselves, with excuses, and tactics to condition people into thinking repression was acceptable, and freedom of speech was not...right??...Go back and look!....I'm not making anything up!

Now I guess I'd let it go by, but what do we have?....a bunch of 'folkers' who cut their teeth on protest songs, and the like....who are too discouraged to raise their voices, for good...AROUND FRIENDS?????

Truth is, if their is ever going to be a 'message' worth delivering, in music, even for 'social awareness', then why condition the artists, to choose a political message, that has holes in it, and eventually makes no one pay any attention, to us....and so easily dismissed and disregarded?

It's a good thing, that you have to read these things you don't readily agree with......a LOT of people out there, in America should do the same...it would do them right!

I remember the early days of Dylan, Ochs, McGuire....not great voices..but man, people LISTENED to the lyrics, as if they were glued to 'em!

....and just like them, I'm 'protesting' the 'establishment suppression' which as become the status quo, of bogus political, mind numbing rhetoric.................................and now, by golly, your reading ME!!!!

By the way, though there is a gap in understanding and agreement(sorta), Regards to you Regardless!!..(wink)
