Dreams of Dixie - here's to you Hong Kong

As you know - friends, I lost my faith in democracy years ago... there is really nothing to say on that subject.

But we have truly slipped into a world of absolute insanity - I have seen some crazy and some wonderful events in my life - but never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined in my youth that I would live to see the day when Americans would bow to socialist and communist ideals... and never would I believe that athletes in America would not stand for the National Anthem... nor hear them praise the Communist Chinese... indeed fucked up days we are living in.

I saw a video of protests in Hong Kong and in the foreground some where waving American Flags - a symbol of  freedom and the democratic ideal - I saw a Gadsden flag too... and far back  in the crowd you could see Old Dixie hovering over the protesters heads... 

Here's to you Hong Kong...
Stay strong.


"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"
(from "The Last Waltz" soundtrack)


Virgil Caine is the name
And I served on the Danville train
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again

In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na"

Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
Said "Virgil, quick, come see,
There goes the Robert E. Lee!"

Now, I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na"

Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother above me
Who took a rebel stand

He was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up
When he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na"

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na"

looking for the summer

"Looking For The Summer"
By
Chris Rea



Look deep into the April face
A change has clearly taken place
Looking for the summer

The eyes take on a certain gaze
And leave behind the springtime days
Go looking for the summer

This ain't no game of kiss and tell
The implications how you know so well
Go looking for the summer

The time has come and they must go
To play the passion out that haunts you so
Looking for the summer

Remember love how it was the same
We scratched and hurt each others growing pains
We were looking for the summer

And still I stand this very day
With a burning wish to fly away
I'm still looking
Looking for the summer

Como hemos cambiado...

by
Juan Luis Gimenez / Sole Giménez

Ah! CĂ³mo hemos cambiado
qué lejos ha quedado
aquella amistad.

AsĂ­ como el viento lo abandona todo al paso,
asĂ­ con el tiempo todo es abandonado;
cada beso que se dĂ¡, alguien lo abandonarĂ¡.

Así con los años unidos a la distancia,
fue asĂ­ como tĂº y yo perdimos la confianza;
cada paso que se dio, algo mĂ¡s nos alejĂ³.

Lo mejor que conocimos,
separĂ³ nuestros destinos
que hoy nos vuelven a reunir;
tal vez si tĂº y yo queremos
volveremos a sentir aquella vieja entrega. Ah! CĂ³mo hemos cambiado
que lejos ha quedado aquella amistad.
Ah! ¿quĂ© nos ha pasado?
cĂ³mo hemos olvidado aquella amistad.

Y asĂ­ como siento ahora el hueco que has dejado
quizĂ¡s llegada la hora vuelva a sentirte a mi lado
tantos sueños por cumplir, alguno se ha de vivir.

Lo mejor que conocimos,
SeparĂ³ nuestros destinos
Que hoy nos vuelven a reunir;
Tal vez si tĂº y yo queremos
Volveremos a sentir aquella vieja entrega.

Ah! CĂ³mo hemos cambiado
Que lejos ha quedado aquella amistad.
Ah! ¿quĂ© nos ha pasado?
CĂ³mo hemos olvidado aquella amistad.
