Earl Scruggs & Friends - Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Now I know very little about this kind of music (read: real music (so I’ve been told)), but this performance is something I can sense… It’s balls to the walls my friend…
Don’t ask me why Steve Martin is there, or anything else, I just wanted to highlight this performance….
On Dr. Seuss and failed presidencies…
Back in 1974 Art Buchwald wrote a column for the Washington Post entitled “Richard M. Nixon Will You Please Go Now!” using Dr. Seuss’s “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!” as his template… In honor of that, I post this… I would hope both the late Dr. Seuss and Mr. Buchwald would agree with this…
Please read this aloud.
“George W. Bush will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don’t care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
George W. Bush will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don’t care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
George W. Bush
I don’t care how.
George W. Bush
Will you please
GO NOW!
You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
If you wish.
If you wish
You may go
By lion’s tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
George W. Bush
Don’t you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!
Get on your way!
Please George W.!
You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .
Or broomstick.
Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat
. . . or jet.
I don’t care how you go.
Just get!
George W. Bush!
I don’t care how.
George W. Bush
Will you please
GO NOW!
I said
GO
And
GO
I meant . . .
The time had come
So . . .
George WENT.”

They’re arguing over the word “need”… I hear what Stu Bykofsky is saying, and I understand what he meant, but I would hope we don’t NEED another 9/11 to bring this country together…
Here’s the original column if you’d like to read it… Clicky…
