Wonder red door you painted for us, whovin!

commented 13 years ago

Yep needed to repaint it so I painted it red!!

commented 13 years ago

whovin: I had a door just like the one you show us. I painted each rectangle a different color. The sequence was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
I lived in a beachy town and all the houses were painted in a similar way.
(I surrre wouldn't do that now)

Barry McGuire???

commented 13 years ago

Tommyh

Could be Barry McGuire.If an Australian artist did a cover version on any particular song,that's the one we heard on the radio over here."raindrops keep falling on my head"is a good example.The cover version was done by our own John Farnam & it was excellent,but I suppose you have never heard of him.

commented 13 years ago

How naive I am about so many things. I didn't know someone could do a cover and have it broadcast, but it makes sense to play the "local" version. Too bad we don't get different versions (such as Farnam's) to enjoy. Then again, cover artists could flood the airwaves and that wouldn't be good, either.

Comment this answer

Is that because you have issues with war protesting ?

commented 13 years ago

Vinny

No, not totally, A little bit though... I lived through that era, I just associate protest songs with folk music, Joan Biaz, Collens, Bob Dylan, Peter paul & Mary, etc.. I just don't like acoustic guitar folk music. (coffee house music) I do know that there were others that were electric too, I don't much care for those either. Just my personal taste, I don't like 'story telling songs'..

And I guess a little dislike for anti-war demonstrators of that time too as I saw them spit on our soldiers with my own eyes.. Things like this you tend to remember

commented 13 years ago

ed shank

I also remember the spitting on soldiers incidents, sickening. I did protest to bring them home, not to ridicule them for doing their duty as soldiers. Got arrested in DC a few times for protesting. Cops with sticks on horse back pounding the shit out of everyone in sight. A bad time indeed.

commented 13 years ago

I was just a kid back then I remember the crazy stuff had a cousin shot in Vietnam he lived
a least they treat the soldier's better today than they did during the Vietnam war!

commented 13 years ago

Vinny -- Those were All my favorites in the way past. I do understand where you come from. I've met others who think the same.

commented 13 years ago

Whovin~We learned our answers back then. Now we praise our soldiers as it should be.
Few praise the wars.

commented 13 years ago

ed shank it was a black mark in history.

commented 13 years ago

Vinny

Problem today is that many of these 'support the soldiers' groups do it out of pity, the soldiers don't want pity, they want respect. and this is something many of them do not get. Look at what the media is doing with Bagdhal's company mates, the media paints them as liars, idiots and mentally challenged. And trouble makers because one guy in the company didn't have his flak jacket on during a miserably hot day. yes, he was wrong but you don't disrespect them for doing something like that.
