Now...if you get my drift.
There are just one or two souls here that as regarding me are Unforgiven...
The rest have intelligently cleared on out the back door on this one.

And if the mods wish to ban this post, I can understand. Maybe.
It's a matter of letting others speak what I should but cannot.

This song was written by Kristofferson and recorded by himself...his is my favorite version.
He, of course recorded more than one version of it.
So did Johhny Cash
Willie Nelson

Now, once those 3 pieces fell into place, a host of others followed.

Ray Stevens
Janis Joplin
Gretchen Wilson
And a host of others. I could spend all day finding them.

Here is the Wiki article on it...
And the fact of the matter is this.
There are very few teetotalers in the USA.
So, almost everybody has experienced this. And so it is known at a universal truth. If almost anybody hears the song, they know the truth behind it.

And here is a perfect example of my previous rant...
To view this 44 second or so clip you are forced to watch a 30 second commercial, with no opt out.

Mark you may be interested to know, there is no commercial when I watch

Now whether it is because I am in the UK or because I run adblock-pro I am not sure but none of the you-tube clips I view have ads.

I dunno why that would be.
Maybe I tagged it and you watched soon enough thereafter that the commercial requirement was already satisfied.

In any event, if those of you watch the links I supply and are not subject to the indignities I am, that would be a fine thingy.

Interesting blooper that was NOT cut.
Watching old T zone episodes.
In the first few minutes of Kentucky Rye...
The initial footage shows him plowing off of the road into bunch of brush trees.
The car on the road swerves by him.
A few frames later, at 3:20, his car is piled into another vehicle.
I think they must have rewritten this scrip midstream and hope that the casual eye at full speed would not notice.

It's adblock plus that I have installed, removes ALL ads, even on youtube.

And if ya wanna hear a kittyman rant, this would be one about now...............
I live between here and youtube.
--- snip ----
Now, I find more and more clips that have ads prefixed that you CANNOT get past until they run out...you are forced to watch the full 20 or 30 seconds of their sh't until they run out....and that is what is really pissing me off.


I hear you Mark,
Years ago I ELIMINATED the pop-up and flash adverts and also improved page load times by using ANY modern web browser OTHER than Internet Explorer such as Firefox, Chrome, etc... and one or more PLUG IN's such as AdBlock+, Disconnect Me, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, or Abine's Blur (formerly Do Not Track Me) to block the adverts.

Once all is revieled..I shall be vindiacted.\
I have spent a good percentage of my years here on Seti.

When I choose to go, and it shall be on my terms and notification.


I will then take down what you know now.

I can do that, kids.
But I truly do not wish to now.

There is a lot I can do from the outside.
Eric is attempting repair of the AP database as we speak.


He has advised my and allowed me to say this much..............
Sorrrrry, I cannot say that. It is all OK now.
All I am saying.

Ya know..............
As I have been known to start to compose some really introspective postings here.

I am going off to somewhere Over the rainbow.....
I realize lately that that question has been the wrong one.
It is not why oh why can't I, but rather why oh why haven't I???
I have been a bother to most on these forums given the input or lack thereov.

I shall go on toiling. I can assure you of that.
In the fire truck factory.

But once and again I shall pop up to declair War on those who simply do not understand the concept.

If you could possibly give just a little bit.
And I can give you some bits you realize did not exist.
That would make the score even, eh/

OK, I'll start out...
This studio work is priceless..
Must have been just after he went wild at Woodstock.
And some studio finally agreed to give him at least a test run.

Do You Understand?

Ok, not timeline approved. This was much later in his life.
I need to find some cuts that are as old as I say.

You have all seen this, then I suppose. Cocker blows Woodstock offa the stage...

Nope again, you haven't had a post hidden for 6 days, so you must loose track of days during the week as well.

I think the important line is

has been moved to another thread


As I said no post hidden but one moved.

If you look it is about six posts down (or up depending on how you read you posts) it is still visible to all.
