Rich posh boys dont run my country. I work. I am not on the right. You sed u would not shop at that store. U know something...i have held at least one job since i was seven...i have worked with them all in all types of jobs...everyone here knows you dont work you dont eat...u get back what you put in...u seem to think everyone just has the wool pulled over their eyes and they just need professor to explain it to them...but that is not the case..people understand profs arguments here better than profs do and they reject it...story over. |

actually, the biggest issue is the class warfare stance of the left here in the Colonies (wait! your lot lost that argument too)... my bad. |

I usually hate those little girl voices (for some reason played with great regularity here on RP) but this song is so good, that her voice doesn't bother me....and there seems to be some grit behind her (not to mention talent) which redeems it. |

With 8.2% unemployment in the USA as I write this, your approach will only make that atrocious number higher, and make things worse.

These (failed) Wisconsin-recall jobs are not "McJobs", and this is why our country is going bankrupt (i.e. misguided, brain-dead, support for unions). Wal-Mart employees should organize. That is true. They are getting screwed. Boycotting Wal-Mart does not help anyone though.

I got paid 90 cents more as a department manager than the cashiers did. Also, that whole "needs to be 8 hours between shifts" thing? Nope.

Oh, and I still had to get the same 50 hours worth of work done.
This was more the rule than exception. I have talked to many former employees over the years from all over this part of the US and what I went through was pretty much par for the course.
Eff that effing place.
I bought from Walmart recently but your post reminded me why I shouldn't and won't again. The low prices are amazing, but many times if the product's quality can be lowered—say, socks or shirts—Walmart will do it. And the horror stories I hear about working at that place are unending. As for the song, I really prefer Emmylou Harris's version... |

I like this - without Ms. Miller twang, the arrangement and instrumentation could easily be mistaken for a Fairport Convention track.

Caught Buddy Miller backing Robert Plant (with vocals help from Patti Griffin) at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Buddy was great, couldn't really hear Patty, Robert was having a very off day, but enjoying himself immensely.
Buddy and Julie's work is among the best of the Americana genre. Depths there not immediately apparent, making it an art form that will endure.

You are correct..I cannot understand this theory..I'm not putting it down either..but celebrating it.. marvel at it..?? naaah bam23 wrote:
Sorry, neither the original post to which you are responding nor your silly assumptions about the entire Universe, which appear to be based on a series of texts that you were taught to believe by people who were themselves taught, ad infinitum (or at least for a couple thousand years) the same things, have any bearing on the musical qualities of this piece. And descended from dinosaur poop? I suggest that we carry within ourselves carbon and some other elements that were once in the form of dinosaur poop, but why is this not something to celebrate and marvel at, instead of another weak effort to put down a theory that you do not appear to actually understand?
