2:06a - How Now Mad Cow?
http://ingeb.org/songs/toanacre.html
the star spangled banner by another name- is a drinking song written by a frenchman from the 15th century, famous for erotic poetry and drinking songs.
very true to the american form that our national anthem is just a stupid drinking song with silly words...
add to that the third stanza of the poem is left out, that speaks so lovingly of our British allies-
And where is the band
Who so vauntingly swore,
'Mid the havoc of war
And the battles confusion,
A home and a country
They'd leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out
Their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save
The hireling and slave
From the terror of flight
Or the gloom of the grave;

speaking about our British friends, Rule Britannia is an interesting song...talking about how Britons will not be slaves.

Ahh...but they are in this time...seems that the UK is the country with the most security cameras in the world... four million cameras in all that are about one camera for every fourteen Brits.

don't mention god save the queen...not the Sex Pistols version but the long-hair one...it was written for the French king Louix XIV by an Italian, Jean-Baptiste Lully, who also wrote some kick ass baroque music...

and how can we forget Deutschland Uber Alles? http://ingeb.org/Lieder/deutschl.html What a fun tune...just don't mention it if you're in Deutschland...http://ingeb.org/garb/SA2002.html
http://ingeb.org by the way has a lyrics to a ton of lieder...as i'm re-ripping my CDs to AAC, i wish i had more lieder...hmmm...
i'm sick and tired. the world is going to hell and i don't care- i say this without reservation. i'm going to play my fiddle since rome is burning...why not? do you have any better ideas, constant reader? good night.
