I need to get something off my chest. I have never been in a bar, but I do read books and play music that was written about bars. The saddness contained in these works is unbelievable. I cannot imagine how heinous it must be. As we sit here and debate from the comfort of our computer chairs the right and wrong of it, there are people suffereng and dying. This morning I sat down with my guitar and played Joe Diffie's "Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox If I Die" and I found myself crying halfway through. I got so mad at everyone who supports bars and the whole ridiculous tangled-up mess we're in right now because of them. I grieve with all of my might for the men and women of both sides who go there. In case you were wondering here is the passage that did me in: "Well I ain't afraid of die'n, It's the thought of being dead I wanna go on being me once my eulogys been read Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest You can put my mind to ease if you fill my last request Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox when I die" Whew. I feel better now. Thank you for listening. Tonight I'm going to grieve over the plight of the possum. We've got to get the word out about the horrible treatment possums receive at the hands of uncaring humans. I may light a candle in their honor, and hug myself. Can't you just feel the love filling this room right now? |

HOLY CARP!!!

There is nothing wrong with bars--EXCEPT people are allowed to smoke cigarettes in bars. And they never ventilate the places--so you always come out smelling like an ashtray. And as far as the opossums goes--they eat the cat food and tip over the steel bowls and wake everybody up in the middle of the night on our farm. See the "Do You Like Fur?" thread for my opinion of them. |
