Gadfly said...Damn, Old Woman! That does bring back memories! We did our share of clapping and dancing, didn't we?
I remember Tony and Vickie's party in Bel Aire, you all tonied up in a floor length purple paisely with yards of beads, high heeled sandals, and your hair twisted up in some kind of knot with the rest hanging loose. The Boozer wore those Uncle Sam pants and red fishnet shirt. I had on ragged jeans and a tie dyed tee and ho chi min sandals. Sitting on the carpet drinking Jack Daniels from bone china cups. Roy walked in the bathroom on a couple getting it on. Ha! What a mixed crowd, as always, and the Jeremiah song got everybody up and moving. Damn but those were the days. Then we got old! What a bummer.
That song was real popular and we heard it everywhere we went. It even got the starch out of you, moving and grooving.
The Future Was Yesterday said..."I have enjoyed about as much as I can stand for awhile of politics, Fundies, and wars. I have to have a break!!"
I can't say as I've enjoyed it, but I've sure had enough with some left over!
"Some of you are old enough to remember."
Remember? I remember when the band was formed that sang that song, as well as the song. The song just never got old. It was the most requested song by far, when I played steel guitar in a shit kickin' band. Now go figger that. A bunch of rednecks singing "joy to the world!:)"
Granny said...Oh, you should have seen Rochelle and Rebecca dancing around the house when I played that for them.
Some songs never become dated.
betmo said...we had that song on eight track tape- but not by three dog night- some other guy. his name escapes me- but when i was a kid- it was my favorite song ;) oh- and rhinestone cowboy. loved it.
Worried American said...Gadfly: You can't resist telling tales out of school, can you? Yes, those were great days and we had a ball most of the time. We had a number of different social circles, some overlapped and some didn't. Tony and Vickie's was one where several overlapped. The arty-intellectual crowd was a duke's mixture. But they all enjoyed Joy To The World.

The Future Was Yesterday said...I will have to run over and give the chap an apology. Nobody should have to suffer the humiliation of being confused with me!
"My partners fill in admirably".
I'm glad yours are. Mine have gone AWOL!:) I'm sure the sweet thing has a bigger duty than our blog (as I try to keep from getting my butt kicked around the room).
Daniel said...Worried, I apologize for any confusion that may have occurred. I started the new blog with a new template and pseudonym but, I guess I just couldn't let the old blog Seeking Utopia go! Far too sentimental, that's me!
Anyway, the part of me that loves beauty and idealism can have fun on SU while my alter ego, David, who hates injustice and inequality, can do his worst on DC!
Hey, all you great people on IAB, take care, you hear?
Granny said...WA - I don't know about "admirably" but I'll do my best.
I used to confuse Daniel and Dan'l too.

Hey, you'all! It's Daniel from Seeking Utopia here. Yes, Daniel has risen from the dead and his blog is once again up and running. It will be a peace blog and a place of peace!
David, his alter ego, will be raising hell for all and sundry over on Dangerous Creation. Politicians and Goliaths beware!
Take care, you'all!
The Future Was Yesterday said...Cheney will look at that photo and numbers, and say: "So?"
Worried American said...Hi, Daniel; Welcome back. I hope I can access your Seeking Utopia blog now. Previous efforts informed me I wasn't authorized, so I hope that it was merely closed for revamping it.
I'll be by later.
Dan'l; I'll drop by your place later also. At present very involved with family. Not much time for blogging.
Worried American said...PS, Dan'l; Re: Cheny's "So?"
The attitude of this administration seems to be, "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs!"

War protesters halt traffic, recall dead - Yahoo! News
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080320/ap_on_re_us/iraq_war_protests
By SARAH KARUSH, Associated Press Writer Thu Mar 20, 1:47 AM ET
WASHINGTON - Protesters blocked traffic and government buildings in Washington, acted out a Baghdad street scene in Syracuse, N.Y., and banged drums in a parade through San Francisco on Wednesday to mark the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. In other, more somber observances, organizers set up a 2-mile display of about 4,000 T-shirts in Cincinnati, meant to symbolize the members of the U.S. military killed in Iraq, while in Louisville, Ky., demonstrators lined rows of military boots, sandals and children's tennis shoes on the steps of a courthouse.
Laurie Wolberton of Louisville, Ky., whose son just finished an Army tour of duty in Iraq, said she fears the worsening U.S. economy has caused Americans to forget about the war.
"We're not paying attention anymore," she said. "My son has buried his friends. He's given eulogies, he's had to go through things no one should have to go through, and over here they've forgotten. They just go shopping instead."
Only a few hundred mustered for one of Wednesday's largest gatherings, in Washington[...].
The Iraq war has been unpopular both abroad and in the United States, although an Associated Press-Ipsos poll in December showed that growing numbers think the U.S. is making progress and will eventually be able to claim some success in Iraq.
[Is THAT it? Tell a big lie often and long enough and the sheeple will believe it. BushCo and the pet poodle mainstream media hammers home over and over, "we're making progress, the surge is working, making progress, the surge is working" on and on. Oh yes, "building democracy, establishing freedom" and the makes-me-want-to-puke, the "keeping America safe", "protecting our freedoms", "war on terror" ad nauseum.
[I'm too old for this. I have to shut the hell up before I have a stroke. WA signing off]

I can't sign on anymore so I'll go back to Daniel just to keep some comments going on your site (the box for which seems to take forever to load).
I've got up a couple of posts at the moment which seem to be raising some eyebrows. I cross-posted one of them on Kos and I thought it was going to go into meltdown. Last time I'll suggest that the Constitution needs to be changed!
Take care now!
Worried American said...Daniel: Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are always welcome and are usually quite witty. I enjoy them.
I don't understand that you can't sign on anymore. Is it a problem on our site? If so, I will TRY to fix it (I'm not too computer savvy, though).
Re: meltdowns when cross posting: One of our blogger friends is an excellent writer who sometimes uses irony and satire. Ofcourse numbers of readers do NOT understand and kick up a hullaballoo. He has been banned by certain narrow minded ignoramouses. If you get banned, consider it an honor and in good company. :-)
Incidentally, I cannot access your previous blog either. Have you closed it completely? I enjoyed re-reading some posts.
The Future Was Yesterday said...Bush's Macabre joke continues....
""We're not paying attention anymore," she said. "My son has buried his friends. He's given eulogies, he's had to go through things no one should have to go through, and over here they've forgotten. They just go shopping instead."
And if only you knew how fast they forget....(:
Worried American said...Right. Everyone is sick of the wars. So many pay lip service to anti-war/peace sentiments but they don't want to hear about it. People close to me who have relatives in the war zone denounce the war and Bush (except the Fundie relatives) but they won't watch nor read war news, and they ignore the war blogs. And they certainly will NOT take action - they won't participate in marches or vigils and won't even take the time to email their reps.
I say, "put your money (or actions) where your mouth is!" or shut the hell up about being anti-war or wanting peace.

the reaper said...All of humankind's problems could be solved if enough people could sit in a room, quiet by themselves for 10 minutes a day.
Seems simple enough. BTW, Thanks for the great blog.
The Future Was Yesterday said...Hope - not the Obama kind for political gain; Hope - not for more of the Hillary same - but Hope of the common people. It's dim right now, this is a hard era. But as I recall you saying once, "what else do we have?"
Indeed.
Worried American said...Sometimes it seems like we are pushing a 2 ton wad of dough up Mount Everest with our nose. It is exhausting and discouraging. But we have to try and keep trying.

 | The urticating hairs on tarantulas such as the Goliath Birdeater (Theraphosa blondi), the largest spider in the world, are far more severe. These hairs can result in painful rashes and have been compared to sharp shards of fibreglass. |
The Future Was Yesterday said...And all this time I thought you were a normal Lady!:)
Snakes and I have a live and let live agreement too. Stay the hell out of my way, and I'll let you live. I know so few are harmful, but I don't trust anything without feet that can move faster than I can - and do it while going around countless "S" curves!! Dan+One snake of ANY size=instant sissy.:)
Worried American said...Hi, Dan'l! Normal lady? Ofcourse I'm normal - just a tad eccentric, perhaps. I co-exist fairly peacefully with most creatures with whom I share this planet. Even humans. Some I avoid if I don't care for closer acquaintance. Even humans. :-)
