Actually, I'm into season 3 now.

The only explanation I have for enjoying it more the second time around is that because of the time that has passed, I am divorced from any expectations or desires I may have had for it to resemble the original in some way, shape, or form.

The important topics are "death, illness, faith, betrayal, and insanity". Too bad RDM

Its already dating badly as it was soo cutting edge it was too clever fro itself ... good story telling that deals with the important stuff tellss a fundemantal truth and endures. That is why the works of Shakespeare get re told..

Swamp People is on Netflix. It's about dark and gritty Cajuns trying to catch alligators. Really complex multi-layered Cajuns.

I would demand an apology if apologizing weren’t a bannable offense.

Oh yeah, 'cept the boys from Men at Work got done for ripping the riff out of a truly ancient childrens song..
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, which is still sung by Girl Guides and doesn't cut it compared to a modern anthem that describes being aussie. Its believed the decision contributed to Greg Ham's death in April this year

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail head, full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast

And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"

Great song.. but are you sure it isn't "On a hippie trail, head full of zombie."

As in--- while hiking the trail he's been drinkin' zombies to the point he's feelin' the undead buzz?


A zombie:

1/2 oz rum
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2 oz apricot brandy
1 tsp sugar
2 oz light rum
1 oz dark rum
1 oz lime juice

That too, and all the other permutations of the chorus they used to do at live gigs... has kept lyric scribes arguing for ages LOL!!
Chunder, not sunder, lots of thunder, blow and glow.. all sorts different breaks in the phrasing gives a thousand subtle differences (and some complete nonsense..)

Well, I don't even hear the similarity between this song & the Kookaburra song. I hope sampling enthusiasts hold up that legal decision for years to come as a gross miscarriage of justice.

They are talking about how the flute-riff has the same essential beats & maybe 'phrasing' as a single line 'Kookaburra sits by the old oak tree' from the song. Well, THAT is the only similarity; there's NO similar melody or anything, other than that ONE line, that one tiny beat. And it's not a SAMPLE taken from a prior recording.

You might as well say "I'm Walkin' on Sunshine" is a ripoff of "Hot child in the city" because those lines have the same syllables & a similar meter. Or that "Hold me, thrill me" is a ripoff of "Louie Louie".

"Killing me softly" = "I'm a believer"

Shiela, Bruce, and Harvey:

Hot Child and the City and Magnet and Steel are classics. Like us.





Australia and the U.S.A. -- penal colonies of the Angles, Saxons, and the Normans.

Darwinian selection is our only hope of getting off this ellipsoid.
