Just thought I'd mention it.
I'm doing some laundry.

I fear I have misrepresented your situation.
Is it more like this?
After a while we took in the clothes
Nobody said very much
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch
Mama come in and picked up a book
An' Papa asked her what it was
Someone else asked, "What do you care?"
Papa said, "Well, just because?"
Then they started to take back their clothes
Hang'em on the line
It was January the thirtieth
And everybody was feelin' fine.The next day, everybody got up
Seein' if the clothes were dry
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed
Mama, of cource, she said, "Hi"
"Have you heard the news?" he said with a grin
"The Vice President's gone mad"
"Where?" "Downtown." "When?" "Last night"
"Hmm, say, that's too bad"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," said the neighbor
"It's just something we're gonna have to forget"
"Yes, I guess so" said Ma
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet.I reached up, touched my shirt
And the neighbor said, "Are those clothes yours?"
I said, "Some of them, not all of them"
He said, "Ya always help out around here with the chores ?"
I said, "Sometime, not all the time"
Then my neighbor he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside
"Mama wants you to come back in the house and bring them clothes"
Well, I just do what I'm told so I did it, of course
I went back in the house and Mama met me
And then I shut all the doors.

Haha! Omg the grateful dead.
Well, I did have a half a cup of pale ale and watched this twice with my son. He makes me laugh, he's so silly. Never mind if it's not your cup of tea all around.

Clothes Line Saga (Dylan) from the Basement Tapes.

I don't know it. I haven't looked in our music library yet, and YouTube was a bust.
Is it Monday? I found this interesting. It might appeal more than playmobil spagetti westerns.

I'm listening to RGE now, reminds me of Coca Rosie a little.
I could not find Clothes Line Saga on youtube. Dylan at his funniest. You may be able to find it somewhere.

Did you ever read this? It's a bit old by now. I did not realize they were from the US.

Don't they live in New York?
They supported Anthony and the Johnstones (sp?) here.
When they performed they wore white veils like bee keepers.
I heard very good things about them.

I only know what I am reading in that NYT essay. That and the YouTube link you posted maybe last year. I like what I heard a lot when I surfed around aotoh not so much. My response varied so much piece to piece. I'd see them live.

This always interested me. I would be interested to read the words.

I am never quite sure how to read American spirituality or whatever it is. You were founded by puritans, us as a penal colony, so we are more downbeat. You might say we did the whole thing much quicker without manifest destiny, but then it is drier here :)
I suppose it is like a child's prayer?
Thank you God for this fine day
And bless all the children all over the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
Oh bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrowNoah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me awayThank you God for this fine fine day
And bless all of the children of the world
And thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrowNoah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals, He took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals, and he took me away
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/noahs-ark-lyrics-cocorosie.html ]Thank you God for this, oh, this fine day

I don't know. Maybe a sweet deity not too involved with a manifest destiny. I surfed around and found this piece called Good Friday.
I once fell in love with you just because the sky turned from gray into blue. It was a good friday. The streets were open and empty. No more passion play. On St. Nicholas Avenue I believe in St. Nicholas. It's a different type of Santa Claus.

Then there is this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXYTrU5CEz4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The lyrics:
And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What i should do with my life How i should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Gave the diamonds cut And have the diamonds Let's all gather at time square Let's all say a prayer For Walter Disney And Mike Tyson At Madison Square Garden And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What i should do with my life How i should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Gave the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And Jesus said, "There's a girl's best friend" And hell they'll last forever" And Jesus said, "Now take her hand And raise this harlot's bastard sun." And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What i should do with my life How i should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Gave the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And afterwards, we'll all go to hell When the money's all spent When the money's all gone There'll be a place for us in heaven's gate Waiting for us on lay away And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What i should do with my life How i should spend
my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Gave the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If i made the world it would be all white And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If i made the world it would be all white And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If i made the world it would beRe: manifest destiny my son told me the Indians would sabotage the train tracks which were critical to making manifest destiny appear unshakable. There must be a word for that sort of timing in history when circumstance and in this case technology backs the belief of the victor. Maybe in German.

When all the worlds are lost in snow
I have to move this meaning through;
Disperse the force so far engendered
All near the steam and summer view
And then... remain.Where steeples crash in fire and thunder,
Where sheets of steel obscure the land,
Where word and sense are torn asunder:
Here was the place I chose to stand.
Just when I think I'm going under,
I... remain.Well all the waves of spin are foaming,
And fake muezzin steam and brew,
Formed in the fire of all their longings(?)
This is the way I took it through,
Just when I think I'm going under.
This is the way I thought it through;
This is the way I took it under...
