Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

1980: The Tide is High

Like Tangled Web, who found this one, we also would like to dedicate this 1980 Blondies tune, with Deborah Harry, to Lord Algore to celebrate the Great Warmening Crisis. Y'all are old enuf to remember this song, aren't ya? No?

Hey, Debbie - get in line. Or should I say get in the queue? Everybody I know wants a good, well-trained, cigar-chompin' and house-broken bird dog to spend the night with to warm their feet at the end of the bed and to dutifully fetch stuff, when wanted.

It's every gal's dream, ain't it? Or am I outdated? ...If I am, do not tell me: I will have you killed by the Maggie's posse.

I had forgotten that popular singers used to be able to carry a tune.

Uh, I don't know how to say this except Blondie was after my time. Ahem.

Ahem.

A bit after mine, too...but I did hear some catchy tunes on the car radio, but mostly Country schlock, I confess.

Holy crap! Blondie is 1980?

Every gal's dream?

Um, no Bird Dog.

I love D. Vance to pieces, but he has horrible taste in music.

Go check ATW's updated musical offerings, much better offerings since that musical abomination.

Hey, dont be so critical until you write a hit tune. Everybody wants to, but few do....

Does that logic hold for critics of rap music too?

Sculptures? Movie makers? Fashion?

Can't be a critic unless you've topped the pyramid?

Hmmm

One of the greatest reggae/steady tunes of all time.

The British girl group Atomic Kitten did a great remake of this song as well in 2002:
