Mrs. Curmudgeon corrects me that I forgot the most America song ever. How did that happen?

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
This song has a companion piece, CDB’s “Long-haired Country Boy”…
Although it is a truly Sothrun song, you can’t be too lazy Up Nort’ because winter is always coming and the wood needs making…
That’s a good point. I think maybe the “heart” of America is more southern than northern anyway. I’m not saying New England is foreign or anything but it seems less resistant to blending in with global “every culture” than the south.
The video for that song was recorded in my home county in Tennessee. I’ve hunted coyotes in the field behind him on that barge. Frankly I’m impressed they got a barge launched at that point in the river. Thanks for posting that.

Amen, we will. Long live Hank Jr. Don
