Did it upset anyone else that they had a recording of peter paul and mary "singing if I had a hammer," for Tom Delay? One of my all time favorite folk songs ruined.

[amerikat]

1. He looked like a stunned monkey in the first part of the clip

as if he was thinking WTF..thier playing one of those commie pinko songs...then he gave the "mugshot smile".

[DanCa]

2. Sings - If I had a hammer I'd hit Tom Delay :) JK

[amerikat]

4. "This land is your land" means different things to different people.

Delay and the rest of them think it belongs to them personally. He has no clue that it belongs to all of us. A rude awakening is coming to him.

[DanCa]

5. And Ironically that song was meant to counter "god bless america"

I hope so, I truly hopes so. I am tired of living in the divide states of America I want my country back. :D Of course Delay's ilk is the kind that stole Boss' Born in the USA for President Regan to run on when in itself is another anti war diddy :)

[amerikat]

9. I always thought "Born to Run" was the true anthem of our country

It just seems more fitting....and realistic.

[DanCa]

10. Dont get me started on the Boss we'd be talkin here all night

I mean that in a good way :D

[amerikat]

14. I wish he still had the passion......because he could distill gallons

of feelings into a thimble full of words and sing it with power. WE could sure use that right now. As a nation.

[DanCa]

17. I think he's going thru a fit of depression myself

I saw him at the united center at the thirtenth of this month. He played a harmonica, two guitars, a harpischord to new liner, and a ukeleelee to growin up. The music talent is still there I just think that he's transforming more from our generatins "Elvis" into our generation's Johnny Cash. And like I said I bet the election fraud took alot out of him like it did the rest of us. :D The man still can write and play he just seems somber somehow.

16. The mood right now seems more like

Wild Billy's Circus Story.

The machinist climbs his ferris wheel like a brave
And the fire eater's lyin' in a pool of sweat, victim of the heatwave
Behind the tent the hired hand tightens his legs on the sword swallower's blade
And circus town's on the shortwave

The runway lies ahead like a great false dawn
Fat lady, big mama, Missy Bimbo sits in her chair and yawns
And the man-beast lies in his cage sniffin' popcorn
As the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn
Circus town's been born

Whoa, and a press roll drummer go, ballerina to and fro
Cartwheelin' up on that tightrope with a cannon blast lightin' flash
Movin' fast through the tent Mars bent, he's gonna miss his fall
Oh God save the human cannonball.
And the flying Zambinis watch Margarita do her neck twist,
And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along: "Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven"
A ragged suitcase in his hand, he steals silently away from the circus grounds
And the highway's haunted by the carnival sounds
They dance like a great greasepaint ghost on the wind
A man in baggy pants, a lonely face, a crazy grin
Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns

And circus boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire
And the barker romances with a junkie, she's got a flat tire,
And now the elephants dance real funky and the band plays like a jungle fire
Circus town's on the live wire
And the strong man Sampson lifts the midget little Tiny Tim way up on his shoulders, way up
And carries him on down the midway past the kids, past the sailors
To his dimly lit trailer
And the ferris wheel turns and turns like it ain't ever gonna stop
And the circus boss leans over, whispers into the little boy's ear "Hey son, you want to try the big top?"
All aboard, Nebraska's our next stop.

3. It wasn't a recording

That was from an actual event in honor of Tom DeLay back in May. They really did play that song (I think it was Pete Seegar singing it cause Jon made a joke about it earlier). TDS didn't play the music over the video.

[AlCzervik]

7. Thats right, thats his theme muic, eh gads, he has his own theme music.

[DanCa]

8. Ohmigod he ruined the damn song.

It's almost as bad as when I hear Vacation Summer I think of the shrub water sking.

Sorryl, I wondered why they insisted on showing his ass instead. Explains a lot.

[Maat]

18. HeeHee (n/t).
