I've been following ...Just woke up and read this... I've been following what you write for weeks now - and, who are these people who are so blinkered in America? <BR/><BR/>You're comments are spot on... I agree, a bit quirky like the man from New Orlans said, but - Lucy in Florida - get a life! <BR/><BR/>I've not commented other than to my wife before and she reads this too. Its now one of the first thing we look at each day. <BR/><BR/>OK... Lucy - read back - and look through what he wrote about his mate who died. <BR/><BR/>I dunno who he is, nor did I know his friend but, I tell you what, I cried. Yes - famous people at a funeral and things like that but, I felt his hurting too.<BR/><BR/>He paints word pictures. <BR/><BR/>So, don't write rubbish Lucy. Read and... perhaps learn. <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of people out there, somwhere who blog. I don't, nor does the wife as we don't / can't write like this.<BR/><BR/>But - read this... read all of it. <BR/><BR/>This man writes with passion - and good on ya blue.<BR/><BR/>Nigel, Adelaide. <BR/>ps. What you wrote about on the subject of deterrents and the law was good. However, we really like the music things you talk about too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458458298755361503.post-88069735528031702582009-01-23T00:47:00.000+00:002009-01-23T00:47:00.000+00:00You are so obviously English.And, wrong to be so d...You are so obviously English.<BR/><BR/>And, wrong to be so disrespectful to President Bush.<BR/><BR/>President Obama would never, ever have said that. Nor should you think it. Or imagine it. <BR/><BR/>George Bush was a good man. He is a good man. And he was a great President. John McCain would have been, should have been a worthy succesor.<BR/><BR/>You go to the wrong bars. No one I know would talk about Sarah Palin like that.<BR/><BR/>Don't write any more rubbish about things you know not of. Please.<BR/><BR/>Lucy O'Charles, Mrs, Fort Lauderdale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458458298755361503.post-36391688460813825052009-01-23T00:37:00.000+00:002009-01-23T00:37:00.000+00:00Hey - An intersting set of thoughts, quirky and ve...Hey - An intersting set of thoughts, quirky and very British - as us Americans don't comment like you have. I voted Republican - and you're wrong about Sarah Palin cos I luv her. OK, she maybe hunts bears and stuff but - she's hot, y'know!<BR/><BR/>I've read some of your other stuff, you write about music real well. I guess you must've been there - am jealous, a bit! Whats was it really like? Why don't u write about that? I saw U2 here in N.O. long back. They rocked, y'know. <BR/><BR/>The compilations that you have put together are amazing; I saw JD's comment and agree, its taken me all evening to find some of the stuff you've said about but, you know what, you're absolutely on the ball. Reggae sucks but i found tracks I liked. Where the hell did you find that stuff - how do you know about it? <BR/><BR/>Hey - my wife got really pissed with me - she threw my dinner in the bin as I got locked into the computer finding tracks you had mentioned. She's pissed with you too. U2, gettit?<BR/><BR/>Glad I did too. <BR/><BR/>Say - if you post another, can I swap you my dinner for it? I'll but you a beer. Proper beer not limey shit. <BR/><BR/>Joe, New Orleans. <BR/>ps. I think Swamp Dog recorded for Island and he's from these parts... I bet you didn't know that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458458298755361503.post-69853813184837096712009-01-22T12:35:00.000+00:002009-01-22T12:35:00.000+00:00Funny and - why do I need to even say this with yo...Funny and - why do I need to even say this with your history of remarkable posts - well observed. <BR/><BR/>Where does that Mandela quote come from? I've never heard it before?<BR/><BR/>I don't imagine you were the only person wondering what the two were saying to each other on the steps either - I suspect it was probably fairly bland which makes your thoughts (imaginings) even funnier.<BR/><BR/>While it was interesting seeing so many in tears when Obama was sworn in, tears of releif came to my own eye when Bush's helicopter left... at long, long last. <BR/><BR/>Have you given up on your compilation ideas... I do hope not - the last you posted was fantastic. Didn't comment on it as I spent far too long on-line trying to find all of the music! I'm hoping you'll be able to list another one soon. <BR/><BR/>The passion with which you've put the last two together with is enviable. <BR/><BR/>JD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458458298755361503.post-18198068352509715232009-01-21T04:43:00.000+00:002009-01-21T04:43:00.000+00:00Transcript of part of Reverend Lowery's speech at ...Transcript of part of Reverend Lowery's speech at Barack Obama Inauguration.<BR/><BR/>"Bless President Barack, First Lady Michelle. Look over our little, angelic Sasha and Malia.<BR/><BR/>Help us then, now, Lord, to work for that day when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, when tanks will be beaten into tractors, when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid; when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.<BR/><BR/>Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is right.JayneCreatifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062479109265954058noreply@blogger.com
