Kind of a controversial post, don't you think? I mean, you are formally acknowledging that sea shanties are a type of music.

I think The Beatles liked them...

San Antonio, TX (in the old city)


"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

This is like being against ancient greek ballads or shakespearean sonnets (i.e. it is the foolish application of modern popular culture to the ancient world).

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

Not too bad from where I sit. (You Tube, David Coffin, 3:25)








But then I like bagpipe music too.

LOVE sea shanties.

Polka music, not so much.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

Everybody matters or nobody matters.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

-An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

OK, then you can log out of YouTube first and then load it, same thing really.

Clearly you have never worked aboard a Sailing Ship!


AFWIW my 3 & 4 year old little girls LOVE to sing them! Cracks me up to be out and about and have people turn around and stare as they hear them singing about hookers and booze with great big smiles on there faces!

I pay homage to skiffle, one of the cornerstones of modern music.

The point is I don't want to hear a sea shanty.

Been walking along the marina docks the last couple of weeks. Over the weekend there were a couple of weddings at which third rate cover bands were butchering every sort of style, ranging from rap to mariachi to zydeco. It got better as we got further away, but then we had to turn around and come back. Arrgggh.
