KLEM FM


This is the original, uncircumscribed version. The original was too long for AM radio airplay.

The double entendre of "and when he died all that he left us was a loan" crosses a lot of boundaries.

Chick Blasts Pete Seeger Generation.

I forgot to leave a comment anywhere when Pete Seeger died. I dabbled in the banjo for a bit, and I admired everything Seeger did for that instrument, which was more than Earl Scruggs did, who excelled at banjo music.

@Lem: I missed this story when it came out: "Being Brian Jones' son is the greatest thing that never happened to me"

The Karaoke Queen and I took a cruise a few years ago. A big black Baptist choir group also took the tour.

The black ladies were doing karaoke one night, doing the Supremes dance routine stuff to Motown, and then somebody pulled up this tune.

No other male was nearby, so the black ladies dragged me out onto the floor to do the male lead.

Funny as hell.

Is it widely thought alone and a loan has a double meaning? Seems like a reach and cheapens the value of the line. But I have been known to be wrong :)

Huh, I've never heard the full version before. Very nice.

@deborah: You think the double entendre cheapens it? I think it twists a knife in a way.
