Excellent Jim Yester song.

The other great tune from that album was the Larry Ramos number "It's Gotta Be Real", and that same year, the great Jazz Crusaders did a version of that song at a "Live From the Lighthouse" album:

The intense irony in accusing Columbus of "Colonialism" is astounding.

Columbus Day is perpetually overlooked as an opportune time to discuss Islamic jihad through the centuries.

In 1453 Ottoman Turks took control of Constantinople ceasing trade between Europe and Asia.

By 1492 Spain was closing the period in it's history identified as "The Reconquista", ending the 780 year period of Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula

...the same year Columbus was finally granted permission to seek an alternate route for trade with the East.

Given the influence of Islam in the region, convincing the royals this venture was possible was an uphill battle.

Perhaps hundreds of years of stifling Islamic scientific influence is where the 'earth is flat' presumption emmanated...

• WikiIslam: Flat Earth and the Qur'an

  The words used to describe the shape of the earth in the quran are :

• مدهاmaddaha
• سطحها stahaha
• فرشها farshaha
• دحها dahaha
• بسطها bastaha

  All are synonyms for flat in Arabic.

  

  

  Heavens forbid people wake up to recognize the detriment of centuries of Islamic hegemony by recognizing the 780 year Islamic colonization of Iberia resulting in the Reconquista and necessity for alternate trade route which ultimately led to the discovery the Americas.

My favorite song by the Association is Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies, from the fall of 1966.

Interesting given that the song is about Columbus, Ohio, and the University of Ohio.

Enjoyed that. Thank you.

Stop the presses! Didn't Leif Ericson discover America?

These dummies need to take down all the Ericson statues and leave poor olde Chris alone.
