The Democrat Republican Switcheroo
Просмотров 2373 месяца назад
I wrote this song a couple years ago. It's probably still relevant: Back in 1854 The country was at the brink of war The Kansas-Nebraska Act Made sure slav’ry stayed intact The Whig Party had dropped dead flat Killed off by the Democrats And so a new party was planned They were called Republicans The Democrat Republican Switcheroo The Democrat Republican Switcheroo They changed, they changed An...

“The Impossible Dream” (Jacques Brel Style) sung by Jim Knable
Просмотров 964 месяца назад
As a long time fan of Jacques Brel, who sang this song in Belgian French, I wanted do my version of his version in English. This is a rough draft in which I think I hit most of the right notes with probably the right chords. Music by Mitch Leigh, with lyrics written by Joe Darion, from the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha. Photo of Jacques Brel in the public domain.

“Hello, Stranger” the A.P. Carter Traditional sung by Jim Knable

I had a dream this morning that I was looking for records at a bookstore and I found an old one with some folk songs on it and I recognized “Hello Stranger”-usually attributed to A.P. Carter.

    Unions are cartels for the commodity of labor. When business owners conspire to fix prices or product quality, this is rightly condemned as rent-seeking behavior, and punished by law. When workers in a particular industry do the same thing, they are cheered on by those who would steal from the productive to distribute to wastrels. Unions oppose innovation, increase bureaucracy, and thus increase prices and lower the quality of goods and services provided to consumers. It is as true now as in Adam Smith's time: a truly free market is the greatest driver of human prosperity, and the freer the market, the richer the country.

      The Republican party at the time of Lincoln was completely the opposite of what it is now. Same for the Democratic Party. I’m sure about 10 other people will weigh on on this, but I think the flip started gradually after Reconstruction and the Tilden compromise (arguably what ended the Reconstruction) and got solidified with FDR’s New Deal. Dixiecrats aged out, Reagan tapped into the Evangelical spirit, and the rest just keeps getting weirder. I am heartened by looking at these comments, and seeing what a wide spectrum of political extremists and moderates all seem to embrace some aspect of John Brown. It’s like we’re at the memorial service for our crazy friend who somehow represented the extremes of what we each fantasize about doing in our own hopefully less violent ways.

    Had Brown been a Southron, all the drug-addled, degenerate neo-Lincolnite leftists of today would doubtless slag him off as a “religious fundamentalist terrorist”. They would make all sorts of baseless judgments about his mental health, scraping the bottom of the excuse barrel to brand him some kind of evil sociopath. But because he, through violent extremism, attacked a society and a people they despise, he is blindly hailed as some kind of heroic vigilante. They detest Christianity with a passion, but, you know, John Brown gets a “cool guy” pass…cuz, you know, mUh rAyCiZm n’ stuff. Deo Vindice God Save the Southland ⚔️✝️⚔️

    Lies. Even Lincoln, friend of the globalist, admitted this wasn't the reason for the war. It was about globalist usurpation of States' sovereign rights, and just look at where we are now. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union."

    Old John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave, While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save; But tho he lost his life while struggling for the slave, His soul is marching on. John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave, And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save; Now, tho the grass grows green above his grave, His soul is marching on. He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled thru and thru; They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew, But his soul is marching on. John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see, Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be, And soon thruout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free, For his soul is marching on. The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view, On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue. And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do, For his soul is marching on. Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may, The death blow of oppression in a better time and way, For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day, And his soul is marching on.

    Моя попытка русского перевода. Джон Браун уж весь истлел, рассыпался во прах, Покинув рабства сыновей в колодках и слезах. За чёрный люд погиб, но всё ж врагам на страх Шаг держит старый Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Шаг держит старый Джон. Джон Браун верен клятве и доблестный герой, Канзас тому свидетель: за права стоял горой. Пусть камень могильный увит травой, Но путь расчистил Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Но путь расчистил Джон. Он занял Харперс Ферри с девятнадцатью людьми, Плантаторы Виргиньи им напуганы вельми. Повешен, как предатель жесткосердыми зверьми, Рукой иуды Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Рукой иуды Джон. Джон Браун суть Предтеча, возвестил приход Христов. «Се грядёт Спаситель, Тот, кто родом из рабов. Лишится вскоре сонный Юг невольничьих оков!» - Пророчил вещий Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Пророчил вещий Джон. С тех пор, как вызов брошен, закипел кровавый бой, Ввысь взметнулся флаг Союза красно-бело-голубой, А гимн звучит над битвою ликующей трубой: Зовёт к свободе Джон! Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Зовёт к свободе Джон! О, воины свободы! Пока достанет сил, На схватку с угнетеньем юных душ направьте пыл! Угасая, старый Браун сердца воспламенил, В них вечно бьётся Джон! Слава, слава, аллилуйя! В них вечно бьётся Джон!
