Samuel’s Musician Of The Week
July 24th, 2005 at 12:49pm
This week the award goes to Johnny Cash, and in particular, the song Ring Of Fire which I have fond memories of hearing when I was much younger (two or three years old I beleive).
Wikipedia has a very good biography of Johnny Cash at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash and the lyrics of Ring Of Fire are below.
Love is a burnin’ thing,
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire —
I fell into a ring of fire.I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire —
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child —
Oh, but the fire ran wild.I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire —
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire —
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.The ring of fire (and Fade)

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone’s goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I’m having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone’s opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose. A
time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,

P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic “identity politics,”
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison.”

Hmmmmmm, comment spam? I’m not sure yet, let me think about it.

Wow, quite a comment.
I’d think it’d be spam.

You are probably right Tommy…I think I might send it to the Plain English Campaign to see if they can make sense of it. “Mr(s) Howdy Thought & Humour” might just win the golden bull award for gobledegook.
The comment spam, whilst being spam, does have an interesting sense of effort, and might just stay….in more or less the same way that the anonymous correspondent’s “It’s just not normal” comments attacking me have stayed.
