13. Someone needs to get the Guardian to re-release the one I did for them

Over ten years ago, the English newspaper, the Guardian, asked me to do a satirical song in one if their MPs. I did it to the tune of the old sea shanty, “Blow the Man Down,” and it was on their website for years, but they took it down a few years ago, and I don’t know go access it.

14. Have you tried the Internet "wayback machine?" n/t

15. Gee, no, I never thought of that

If you search their site, they still have a link to it. But if you click on the link, it’s no longer there.

16. That's too bad.

With help from DU I was able to find some of Annette Appollo's stuff there. She raised hell here as OldLeftieLawyer and Tangerine LaBamba before she died at her own hand in December 2009. I miss her.

17. I still have the sound track, of course

After all, I made it. But they did their own video to it, and I don't have that.
