I couldn't believe he will be 61 years old. I remember him on Partridge Family. It's a darn shame he got typecast as a "teenybopper". He was much more than that. He voice was exceptional, great singing range. Aside from that, every girl swooned for him in the Partridge Family days - that hair, those eyes, that voice and of course that hair. Today, seems his looks have faded, but back then, he was mighty fine looking. I haven't seen Partridge Family in 40 years, but they show it on antenna t.v. now - and I almost swooned again at the sight of the young David Cassidy. Yep, I remember 'em... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFwZqE7AS_s

When Hamish Bond explains to Rau-Ru how he got him, he tells him of a Chief called Gezo. He really says old Chief Gezo. There was a prominent King called Chief Gezo on the West coast of Africa who came to riches and fame due to his involvement in the slave trade. He went into the interior of Africa and captured other Africans to be sold to slave traders. Hamish Bond was a slave trader, Yankee slave trader, who got rich as many other Yankees. In fact, slave trading was one of the most prosperous enterprises in the North. One Ivy league school called Brown University owes a lot of its existence to the slave trade. Most of the slaves from Africa did not come to America. Instead, they were shipped to South America and the Caribbean. It seems slavery did not begin with the South and it can easily be traced to those sanctimonious and moralistic Yankees, too. In more ways than one. "The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and the glory of their wealth. The mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery."

" > > In actuality, the meaning of the term "union" as it pertains to the U.S. Constitution has been (and remains) a rather controversial subject. There is no specific right to secession decreed in the Constitution, or even a right to a revolution against the federal government (although it is more correct to imply revolutionary rights, rather than secessionist ones). When the U.S. Constitution was adopted (superseding the Articles of Confederation), the new document was vastly more supportive of the permanency of a union of states. Indeed, for many Anti-Federalists, a chief complaint regarding the Constitution was its lack of a documented, clear right of states to revoke their ratification. Although the constitutional illegalities performed by both the Union and Confederate governments are debatable, it is clear that the Confederate states had no constitutional right to secede. Horse dump... The 10th amendment in the Constitution, intrepreted by the South, gave them the freedom to secede. Of course Lincoln, and his Republican phony free the slaves party, was really only about protecting Northern Industrialists profits and a centralized government and empire. One can look at Lincoln's statements about the slaves and come away with a clear understanding about his true beliefs about them. The South stood for free and unbridled Libertarian belief that a people who no longer want to be associated with another have the right to leave as understood at that time in the 19th century. *DEO VINDICE*

I can't help myself. I am a Southerner who loves Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Here's the Rebel yell and gives ya a hint why we were so hard to bring down... Jake

Frank from Ohio...anyone who likes GFR is welcome to post anytime here. I cut my teeth on 70's rock and roll listening to GFR. So-called music critics said they had no talent. The people loved them and so did I. They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jake

Thanks again Mr. Mongo for the great pics and I'm very glad to see the change of the board did not negatively affect your posts. By the way, I live in a very diverse city in Texas and I know some Spanish people who are intensely loyal to Franco. Jake

*They're showing Gettysburg (1993) on Monday April 25th, at 10:15. This is a great film about the Civil War, very detailed, great actors, and very well scripted, showing how complex and emotional the feelings around the war were. It has some very thoughtful and moving speeches from characters on both sides of the war*. I like the movie Gettysburg. However, the impression is left with many viewers Gen. Robert E. Lee sent Pickett and his men to a certain slaughter. Remember, there are over 30,000 books written about the War of Northern Aggression and anything I state is conjecture like many others. Longstreet badly served Gen. Lee and did not move with alacrity and vigor to carry out Gen. Lee's orders allowing the enemy to fortify and concentrate its forces. He was on the verge of being insubordinate and sulked when his plans were not accepted for the attack or when he presented his grand plan to Jefferson Davis and his cabinet. General Lee sorely missed his quarterback Gen. Stonewall Jackson. Stonewall took the ball and ran with it for Lee. His daring and fearless attitude toward the enemy was unequaled. I've come to be intrigued by the idea Jeb Stuart was ordered to attack the Union rear during Pickett's charge and was met and checked by none other than George Custer resulting in the Union victory on day three of Pickett's charge. I've never believed Lee would be foolish and waste his men needlessly. "If I had had Stonewall Jackson with me, I should have won the battle of Gettysburg."

Hard drivin' rock and roll from a Midwest band called Head East. This song is played big time on the local FM channnel here in my neck of the woods. Jake

I saw this little fire cracker live in Tallahassee, Fla. A great show. Pat Benatar. Another one who for some reason is not in the R&R Hall of Fame... Jake

> {quote:title=wouldbestar wrote:}{quote} > I'm the one who mentioned the score of The Big Country. I only saw the film 5 years ago but realized from the first notes I'd been hearing it for years. The opening has been used to open a lot of rodeo broadcasts and other shows about the West, the melody from the waylaid carriage ride is also heard on similar themed programs and the main theme was in the only commercial John Wayne did, for one of the pain medicines. I always thought it came from one of his films. I watched because of the music and it's now one of my Top 10 favorites. 30 lashes with the wet noodle for leaving out Victor Young's Shane score, not only the theme but the melody from where they dig up the stump. I'm right, more of the good ones come from the Old West. > > Jerome Marross also scored The Jayhawkers in 1959 with Fess Parker and Jeff Chandler. Fans of the 1950's Randolph Scott films will like it as the story has a lot in common with them but with an interesting relationship between hero and villain. A certain TV series started using the theme in its third season and kept it for the remaining five. You'll know which one when you hear it. *30 lashes with the wet noodle for leaving out Victor Young's Shane score, not only the theme but the melody from where they dig up the stump. I'm right, more of the good ones come from the Old West*. Nah, no lashes but you do know a good score when you hear one. Shane, the best Western ever made... By the way, Victor Young had a very prodigious career as a conductor and composer. He's not mentioned as many others but a cursory look at his works confirms he was a heavy weight. Jake

A good one from Steely Dan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVBAnxmXd_k Jake
