That's what they call the Bristol Stomp, maybe eh ... [name of oldies tune, heard on the radio the other day] ... yes, from great injustice there came art ... it works that way, as fat happy people unaware of looming tragedy tend not to make so much art, or very effective art, velvet Elvises aside ... take Constable, who never had much success in his lifetime, he was recording a romanticised image of what he saw being lost to industrialisation ... grande olde english yeomanry, slugging it out on the family farm every day of your short life, never seeing the village five miles beyond your nearest, no modern tools, no electric light, no real influence on shire politics let alone national or the world
Things have changed, somewhat ... maybe in degree only, and for relatively few of us, yes ... but we're a whole lot richer now, and with more personal power, those of us in a few developed nations ... imagine what Swift would give, to be with us here on the net, he'd produce more and perhaps less modest proposals, no doubt .... unless - [uh-oh] - he and the people around him felt no immediate threat ...
Unrelated, one hopes, to the thought 'immediate threat', what do you think will happen next with Cadre? ... chart looks like it's getting time for another of those Yes We Are Advancing news releases ... i haven't sold a share, this time around, got the general feeling that they've got it rolling ... but, <sigh>, it could roll slow for a while .... or, not |
