Conservatism means…
Conservatism means we like the good stuff! Even if performed by flaming liberals.
Example? I direct you to this YouTube video of the following: The Smothers Brothers (okay, I don’t know that they are/were liberal), Donovan, and Peter, Paul, & Mary (three flaming extremist liberals. Only such could make a fire-breathing dragon seem ‘cute’.)

Banjo for a Friday afternoon
Along with a bit of harmonica, some mandolin, a bit of sitar and some tabla drumming.
What more could you want?
Oh. Ok.
... and including a sexy blond who gets at least a B+ in wiggling. One with a pretty good voice too.
Enough?
Equal opportunity? Something for the ladies?
Fine. We’ll put some guy in the video too.
How about tennis pro Rafael Nadal?
Complaints? [crickets chirping] Didn’t think so.
The same tune comes in English, but I think the lyrics are better in her first language.
But hey, it’s all about the banjo. And about Peiper not speaking Spanish. So nobody tell him what “Que soy gitana” means.

The First Thing You Know
Wow, what a prescient statement of liberalism from a Lerner and Loewe musical.
Oh, yeah. Drew, I think you were thinking of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. That movie spawned the TV show ‘Here Come The Brides’ starring Bobby Sherman and David Soul.
In the comments I mentioned having to suffer hearing Clint Eastwood sing. I forgot that Lee Marvin also has a couple of songs. If they can sing, so can I. Now, how do I get paid to sing?....
UPDATE
Found my favorite Clint Eastwood solo.

Bwhahaha!
Alright. Let’s set the stage. Here’s the song:
Okay. We’ve set the scene. Now, here’s the fun part:
I got a big kick out of this. Me and my sisters used to do this sort of thing. We usually used the Archies or Josie and the Pussycats, (yeah, I’m dating myself) but we all were taking guitar, and I was doing drums. The only thing missing was the Internets. 
Been there. Done that. Showed my sisters, who are embarrassed.

Christmas In Joisey
Who says I can’t plug a Christmas album in May? Why not?
This is pretty funny if you’re from New Jersey. Well, certain parts anyway. Chatham and Bernardsville excluded. It might be even funnier if you’re not from New Jersey.
I found it really adorable, because I only know the singer via her alternate reality ... in other words, what she does for a living when the band isn’t playing. And yeah, that’s her real hair. Every day.
Lucy’s webpage is here. Visit, have fun, and don’t forget to vote - Gravy or Sauce. [ real NJ people don’t need to ask “gravy or sauce for what?” and have already had this fight many times before, usually at holiday get-togethers. ]

Weekend Videos
This brings back some memories. Some of them aren’t that long ago either!
I know, Meat Loaf can go bad over time. Here’s some more recent Meat Loaf. Only a couple of years old!
Now, a little America:
Below the fold, due to very suggestive content, Clarence Carter is Strokin’ and “sassifying” his woman.

Fashion Tips
OMG, I have to go meet the Queen of England! What do I wear???
Something formal, obviously. Demure, sophisticated, classic, and classy. Be absolutely certain that your shoes coordinate, and don’t speak until spoken to.
And make sure you do something with those eyebrows first, m’kay?
Sounds like good advice. Of course, if you’re Lady Gaga, you find a unique way to do exactly what’s expected, but still keep your freak flag flying ...

I’ll publish anything
Rich K gets inspired by the Muse and cranks out a little Obama poem/tune.
The Muse Clio, reading a scroll, 435 BC
Except his muse has a bit more modern incarnation ...
My name’s Barak Obama and I don’t have a clue
So let invite a bunch of folks to tell me what to do
And after that Ill go to town
And let you see I’m just a clown
So smile and wave and don’t be shy
I’m hope and change and I don’t lie
Life is great and green as grass
I’m here to stay so Kiss My Ass!
Not bad for a first effort. So let’s push him for bigger and better. Poems, posts, graphics.
While I’ve got you here, I want to mention a failed Christmas present. I’ve got Conservative friends and relatives, so it’s always a no brainer to pick up Conservative books for Christmas. Funny thing though, I order them real early and then carefully read them first!
Anyway, I picked up a copy of Michelle Malkin’s Culture of Corruption. Horry Clap. You WANT to read this book. Even if you thought you were on top of the cronyism and all it’s corrupt interconnectivity, it’s bigger than you realized. And uglier. This is a fantastic read, but ... it’s pretty dark. Ann Coulter books make better presents; at least she’s a wise ass half the time and that’s good for a chuckle or two. CoC is serious stuff. And it will scare the shit out of you, upset you, piss you off, and make you afraid for the future of America. Thanks ever so much, 52ers.

Musical Interlude
Part 1
Related to the previous post ... we get a whole lotta mileage out of old Dvorak’s Symphony #9.
Here’s Academy Award winning actress Deanna Durbin, who at 87 continues to live in peaceful seclusion, signing Goin’ Home. Eye candy for Peiper, because I know he likes the old time ladies. She’s 25 in this video.
The music is straight from the Largo in #9, and the words were written by his assistant William Arms Fisher. Two DWEMs ( Dead White European Males ), yet the song is so evocative of a Negro Spiritual that it’s probably considered racist these days to watch a white woman sing it. Yet ... the underlying themes, the soul of the song, is just as authentically Bohemian as it is authentically Black. And some say the tune is even older, that it was an old Scottish song long before any negro slave every heard it. Go figure.
These days it’s mostly played at funerals, but that was not the intent of the original. Like I said, ya learn something new here every day.
So here she is, cut from the film It started with Eve from 1941 ...
Part 2
While running down a couple of versions of Goin’ Home I found Mary Fahl doing Going Home, one of the tunes from the wonderful Gods and Generals film. Gonna hafta get myself a copy of that show one of these days, along with the Ken Burns series. I’ve always loved how deeply the Celtic blood runs in American folk music. This one is lovely. And so is the song!

THE YEAR IS 1928. THE JAZZ AGE AND THE ERA OF WONDERFUL NONSENSE IS SOON TO END.
This is certainly NOT a normal posting for this site.
Look, the news is depressing. And not just the vote in Ireland but yes, that plays no small part in things.
The Tories (Conservative Party) is saying that when they’re elected they are gonna start putting some teeth into law and order. The opposition party is saying the same damn thing. WTF is it with these ass-wipes? (Pardon me please) What is it with them? Haven’t they seen what’s been happening in their own country for years now? Or do things become miraculously visible only at election time? Bah ..
I’m pretty well PO’d over other things here as well. Nothing I can do of course. But one can’t help being rankled. Can one?
Well anyway .... to take my mind off things I went over to YT looking for something to help cheer me up. Music is usually the answer and mostly from another era. One I kind of wish I could visit. Although if I were around way back then, I would never have been able to catch all the great talent and bands the were going then. But I can see em on YT, right in my own home. house.
Well, while there I found this wonderful video. You might say, it struck a chord for me. It so well reflects that time, just before the depression. A time that history calls, THE ERA OF WONDERFUL NONSENSE.

Because Just Being a Tramp isn’t enough anymore
The latest musical life lesson your kids are being taught comes from that paradigm of class, Britney Spears, with the release of her latest tune 3. A song about the wonders of ménage à trois and orgies in general. Isn’t that swell?
It’s a pretty catchy little tune too, even though it’s machine generated to the Nth degree.
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin’ down with 3P
Everybody loves *** [sex grunts]
Countin’
Three is a charm
Two is not the same
I don’t see the harm
So are you game?
Lets’ make a team
Make ‘em say my name
Lovin’ the extreme
Now are you game?
Are – you in
Livin’ in sin is the new thing
Are – you in
I am countin’!
1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I’m caught in between
Countin’
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin’ down with 3P
Everybody loves *** [sex grunts]
What we do is innocent
Just for fun and nothin’ meant
If you don’t like the company
Let’s just do it you and me
You and me…
Or three….
Or four….
Total class. You can find the video everywhere, or go visit Just Jared.
I think her next album will have love songs dedicated to Tony the Pony, and tout the wonders of sexual chickenry.

Not Fade Away
Les Paul, the guitarist and inventor who changed the course of music with the electric guitar and multitrack recording and had a string of hits, many with wife Mary Ford, died on Thursday. He was 94.
According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died of complications from pneumonia at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side.
He had been hospitalized in February 2006 when he learned he won two Grammys for an album he released after his 90th birthday, “Les Paul & Friends: American Made, World Played.”
“I feel like a condemned building with a new flagpole on it,” he joked.
As an inventor, Paul helped bring about the rise of rock ‘n’ roll and multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the “tracks” in the finished recording.

Chill Winds To Come
A little Jethro Tull for those suffering from excess summer this summer. Not that we’re getting any of that in New Jersey this year. It’s the 4th of August, and right now it’s 65°F outside. But at least it’s not raining. Yet. This is our 2nd day in a row without rain, which is just about a record here since mid-May.
Good morning Weathercock: How did you fare last night?
Did the cold wind bite you, did you face up to the fright
When the leaves spin from October
and whip around your tail?
Did you shake from the blast, did you shiver through the gale?
Give us direction; the best of goodwill ---
Put us in touch with fair winds.
Sing to us softly, hum evening’s song ---
Tell us what the blacksmith has done for you.
Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky,
Or is it true to say the weather heeds the twinkle in your eye?
Do you fight the rush of winter; do you hold snowflakes at bay?
Do you lift the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way?
Good morning Weathercock: make this day bright.
Put us in touch with your fair winds.
Sing to us softly, hum evening’s song.
Point the way to better days we can share with you.
Ian Anderson

Michael Jackson also dead today
About an hour ago, Michael Jackson died. At first the gossip sites said it was cardiac arrest, but now the hospital and his mother have released a statement.
I really liked his early musical career, but his personal life and his plastic surgery really turned me off.
This was a rumor at first, but it has now been confirmed.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
