Well, if somebody is going to achieve amusement by watching primates, including aardvarks, that person is obligated to try to help primates in some way.
Closely related is the fact that PETA has a buck-naked protest against bull-fighting in Pamplona every year, and I surely would enjoy seeing some of these relatives there. (Preferably naked).
I see. And just exactly how is it that you know I didn’t renew my membership in Orangutan Foundation International? Are you going through my trash or something?
No ma’am. I simply knew to remind you to renew! Because I understand spiritually that you always engage in acts of kindness to assist poor folks and suffering creatures. Your fiddle fans the embers in trash barrel fires to warm homeless amputees on bitter winter evenings.
I only wish it could be done naked
In any case, the apes are secondary. I just needed a pointer to this old song that I like. It’s about scabs. Have another listen,
Wow! The combination of this haunting song about scab laborers, with the imagery of the primates, is really deep.
This reminds of an album called ‘Tyranny and the Hired Hand,’ by Frank Tovey and Co., which contains their versions of old songs of social protest. One of the songs is called ‘Sam Hall,’ and it is musically similar to the Captain Kidd song which I have learned to play on the banjo.
Except so many of my banjo songs have violence within them, and in fact that’s one thing that makes them fun to play. Except I realized a couple of years ago that it is probably wrong and possibly counter-productive to play songs about violence which are fun; but I still play those songs. -Like another one I love is the old Jesse James song, which was covered by Nick Cave in the recent film about The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, right before the Ford character shoots Nick Cave in the foot. -Why the heck does Nick Cave enjoy the violence theme so much? He seems like a right-minded fellow. I guess he’s like all of us.
