Music Monday – “And if anyone can aid me ‘t is my brother in the army/If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney/And if he’ll go with me, we’ll go rovin’ through Kilkenney/And I’m sure he’ll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny”

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw

I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape. But I thought it might be worth revisiting for FTRW, especially in light of the news that came out in August 2020 that the band’s bassist had subsequently been accused of […]

Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh__QQD2js “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks

Music Monday – “Hey little sister/Who’s your superman/Hey little sister/Who’s the one you want?”

Someone who […]

Music Monday – “‘Cause I’ve been lost on them back roads/And many times, I’ve gone blind/Losing faith in my family/Had drew me out my damn mind”

Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]

Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”

It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts…   “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts

Music Monday – “I’m gonna tell you fascists/Sure might may be surprised/There’s people in this world/And we’re getting organized”

Happy Inauguration Week! “All You Fascists (Bound To Lose)” – Billy Bragg
