oh guys. forget whether or not you agree with the views.

just watch the video. the sheer musicality and theatre of it beautiful.

it is from deep within the soul, and that makes it great in a purely musical way

it is also an anthem for much of America and it explains their view of America very well. watch it just so that you understand if for no other reason...

....but sheesh, it s great song. his daddy wasn t half bad at song writing either......

gob, you especially might like it if you watched or listened to it. or maybe you have.... IDK....

RR, I hope you didn t mean me. if you recall, I posted a video with a young black gentleman, speaking about black lives matter, and I made the exact same argument about not judging peoples intelligence by their speech patterns and accent....

[Big RR]

wes--no, I had no one particularly in mind, and I do remember your post in that regard. But I do think there are some people who hear an accent (urban black accents chief among them) and automatically think it means the person is stupid. I have a friend who will swear up and down he's not prejudiced (and I don't think he is any more so than most people I know), who insists those urban black speech patterns are not accents but ignorance.

if a song makes you smile from start to finish...., it s is good.

of course if it makes you angry from start to finish it is good as well.

I think. maybe.....

What is funnier than a tornado's path through a south Alabama trailer park?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Just about anything as I don't think that's funny. People's lives (their persons and their property) are in those trailers, just like in a house.

Reminds me of homestead fla (I think it was homestead) when the construction of the houses was so poor they flew apart like trailers when the hurricane hit.

The fact that it caused $10,000's worth of improvement?

No one here that I can specifically identify. I was referring to some comedian years ago.

Mola Mola or ocean sunfish. They get very big and make a nice alternative to halibut for my spouse's fish curry recipe.

Montery Bay Aquarium keeps getting little ones but they get so big they have to let them go. Odd looking things. I don't know how a fisherman could not know what they were???

We get about 2 a year sighted off of Boston. They're odd and ugly, I can imagine being surprised.

I used to fish the jetty at the cape cod bay end of the cape cod canal, there was a sunfish that would swim up and down the jetty almost everytime I was there.

at the far end of the jetty I once hooked a fish, that could have only been a Bluefin tuna . that was migrating thru or fishing at the end of the canal.

it was amazing . my arms were almost snatched out of my shoulders and my my drag was singing at a pitch never before heard.

it stripped almost all my line in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds and then it just snapped, unable to dispense fast enough to keep up with the beast

So who the heck is Prat Chatter?

[rubato]

Nope, I take it back. It's Opah she uses in that fish curry:
