I'm watching The Voice and Sawyer just sang a Buffalo Springfield classic "Stop, children, what's that sound". And ... I felt insulted that this kid could think he could relate to one of the anthems from the Vietnam anti-War movement. Sure, he sang it well ... but it just hit a negative and sensitive chord with me. I remember Vietnam vets being insulted when people who've never been to 'Nam called it 'Nam. I think this felt similar ... it's not worth getting riled up ... but for me, certainly worth noting. And it gave me something to stick in the Leaderboard.

What happens when the viet Nam generation is gone? Noone else can sing those songs? They never get sung again?

Yes. The following generations can come up with their own songs. lol

John was responsible for that. Then he came to his senses. Because one should not mess with tradition.

I think it was Runnah just messing with us, actually.

And if there is anyone here that is on my ignore list:

It's of a Canadian goose in flight.

If I'm not on your ignore list I can give you a reason to put me there.
There is no such thing as a "Canadian goose", only Canada goose or Canada geese.

Like Sea Gull ... there are Gulls ... there are this Gull and that Gull but there isn't any bird properly named Sea Gull.

For the uninformed (the casual visitors as regular TPFers are all-knowing), the Maritimes were originally referred to as Acadia (Acadie)

By the aboriginal peoples?

Made me think of the book/musical Wicked. Love that book...

No, the first French settlers.

We all know that (until relatively recently) when the Europeans came to the new world, local names were just ignored. Some steps have been taken to correct that, especially in the north.

Never saw that. I think I'd rather read the book than see the musical.

The book is good. I've never seen the musical, but I like the soundtrack. I would have rather seen Wicked with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, but I don't think they're doing it anymore.
