RE: Neil Young~Harvest Moon
I can't recall the first time I heard this song, bent.
Played and sang it a million times, though.
"On a warm night, in an antebellum home on a hundred acres of oaks and hollows, a Harvest Moon hangs glowing for all the world. The warm summer breeze carries the scents of evening flowers and cornsilk. A bare bulb lights the hallway and nothing else. Out on the porch, you in the cotton shift and I in t-shirt and jeans, sip the supper's coffee remains and at once lean into the other.
On this Harvest Moon."
-unc.
It's a lovely song, along with the unique voice and style of Neil Young.
Oh I love Texas!!! I live in Texas! :)
Hey guys,
I guess we really started going on this new thread!! I'm glad that I was the 1,000 post on the last one. Too bad that I never figured out how to post pictures! LOL! That’s okay, my mom doesn't know how to either. Anyway Good Morning everyone!!!!! :-)
It's been a long while since I've visited the Lair, But I came across a FANTASTIC Pro-Denmark/Pro Free Speech Poetry Contest that I think the scribes here might want to support.
The contest also has a category for cartoons and the whole idea is to speak up on behalf of free speech vs. the attempts by Islamic activists to impose self censorhsip on our media and "hate laws" to silence criticism of Islam.
See the Poetry contest Announcement here:

Looks like submissions need to go to
charlesmartel@laughyourheadoff.org
How about it Freedomistas? We have some good limericks, rhymes, or cartoons in support of the Danes and Liberty?
This morning, I am out of rhymes, but I wrote this instead:
It was no clean thing, this,
no easy walk into that dark night
filled with memorable soundbites
and photo op moments,
soldiers in their dress uniforms
and dignitaries in their solemn regalia.
No clean thing, this,
filled with the sweat of pain
and the taste of blood,
the dust of the road,
the tears of grief,
the reality of betrayal,
the weight of sin.
No calm thing, this,
filled instead with noise:
the noise of mockery, bitter and undeserved,
punctuated with spittle and blows.
the noise of pain:
the slap of the flagellum against bare skin,
the sound of hammers driving spikes into wood
through human flesh,
cries ripped unbidden from the depths of the gut,
as flesh protested the hot sudden agony
that would not go away.
The noise of expediency: "Crucify him yourselves."
No easy walk this,
rushed through the crowded streets
beneath a crushing weight,
stripped of everything that matters most to man,
standing naked in the light of day
bruised and bloody and battered,
with nothing left to give
except the acceptance of pain,
except the final acts of love,
surrender
death.
As promised!
