Celtic music
I have eclectic music taste - Celtic folk songs (Celtic Woman), South African township music (Ladysmith Black Mombazo), Bluegrass, Metal (AC/DC, Metallica, Ozzie, Scorpions, et. al), big band (Glen Miller, Sy Zentner, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey), classic rock (Zeplin, Clapton, Seeger, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd).
Today, I was listening to Aideen O'Brien singing "A Bunch of Thyme." If you listen very closely to the lyrics and think about their meaning, you may find a message that mothers and fathers should impress on their daughters. :o) What do you think?
A Bunch of Thyme.
Come all ye maidens young and fair.
And you that are blooming in your prime.
Always beware and keep your garden fair.
Let no man steal away your thyme.
Chorus: For thyme it is a precious thing,
And thyme brings all things to my mind.
Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys,
thyme, brings all things to my mind.
Once I and a bunch of thyme.
I thought it never would decay.
Then came a lusty sailor,
who chanced to pass my way.
And stole my bunch of thyme away.
(Chorus)
The sailor gave to me a rose.
A rose that never would decay.
He gave it to me,
to keep me reminded,
of when he stole my thyme away.
(Chorus)
Come all ye maidens young and fair.
And you that are blooming in your prime.
Always beware and keep your garden fair.
Let no man steal away your thyme.

Britney . . .
I think Ms. Spears is an unbalanced young lady who needs help. Granted, she's made a spectacle of herself for the better part of a year or two, but no one deserves the constant hounding by those so-called paparazzi who jump in her face 24-7.
Can you imagine what it would be like to have 20 people flashing cameras in your face every time you went outside? It would drive me absolutely crazy.
When she was released from the hospital today, they descended on her like locusts every time her car stopped in traffic. They're not only causing problems for her, they're endangering everyone else in traffic. Perhaps if those assholes were arrested for blocking traffic when they ran out in the street, some sanity would prevail. Either that, or she should be given free rein to run over anyone in her way.
I'm not sure why I posted this, except that the TV coverage just tweaked me the wrong way. I really, really was wishing to see one of those guys run over by a passing semi. Punishment unbefitting the crime? Maybe, but it would have been entertaining.
