Country Song

You tell me all the time just what to do
You treat me like I’m nothing but a fool
I never say a thing worth listening to
I think it’s time I tried out something new
You think you’ve got me underneath your thumb
You think you’ll snap your fingers and I’ll come
When you want something I’m supposed to run
But I’ve got news for you my friend I’m done
Chorus
And you can kiss my butt as it’s heading out the door
Because I’ve learned to walk and I won’t be here no more
Yes there’s a new life waiting for me to jump on board
Hear my heart cuz it’s singing, hallelujah, thank you Lord
I can’t believe I let you make me cry
I thought that if you left me I might die
Now I’m seein’ thru a different pair of eyes
I’m waving cuz I’m telling you good bye
(extra verse if needed)
I’m gonna fly when I leave here this I know
And I’ll decide which way I want to go
Cuz I’m sure sick of listening to you
I think it’s time I tried out something new
(alternate Chorus or ending)
Well now my heart’s on fire cuz I know there’s so much more
And I know you’re gonna cry when I leave you all alone
You should have treated me better when you had my love before
Now you can kiss my butt because I won’t be yours no more.

Not opera but I went to school with Peter Fiedler, Arthur Fiedler's son, Arthur was the founder and long time conductor of the Boston Pop's Orchestra.
Peter was a gifted pianist but wouldn't consider a career in that, his dad was pretty old when his kids were born, his wife was substantially younger although she didn't live all that much longer...
He wasn't that close to his dad but knew that unless he was the best pianist in the world....nothing else would do.
Then he wanted to be a doctor and then a television producer, he ended up producing a medical show in Boston for a while. Then in 2004 he took over as an interim general manager of a Boston tv channel...
I don't know what he's up to these days. I guess I could google him...or even email him LOL... but I never do.
I went to school for only one year with Katie Taylor too, James's sister, she is really good, she's on myspace if you want to hear some of her music.
I went to school with a lot of successful people...I'm not one of those LOL but I'm happy so that's all that matters.

I haven't seen him in....hmmmm.....38 years LOL. But I heard him on a radio interview a couple of times and one was on WBCN and during the interview I called in and left a message for him saying hey, glad to hear you're still kickin'....or something like that, hell, that was 30 years ago anyway
Does he still have dark, straight, silky hair?
WOW, you ain't kidding it's a small world! God I'd love to see him again sometime.
Having lost 3 friends from my own age group recently, 6/7, 6/12 and yesterday....I am in the mood for reconnecting, not for good, just to say hey.
I'm going to have to blog about that soon...not Peter but my recent losses.
One of them was an ex-boyfriend, he moved into this house with me in July 2005, it only lasted 9 months (no surprise there...LOL)but as much as we couldn't make a relationship we were the best of friends, I saw him that morning and spoke with him twice on the phone that afternoon. Then that night he fell asleep and the coronor thinks he died almost immediately...he never woke up. I couldn't ask for a better way for someone I love to die...even if he was 5 months younger than I am.

By eagle4eyes, # 2. July 2008, 02:58:00
Ah, he still has the hair LOL. I'm glad to hear that
Ok, I guess I'm not surprised that he's playing with the Pops, it was when his dad was alive that he wouldn't even consider it and I understand why he felt that way too.
Still, his father is probably nicer on the other side and is proud..I hope
I've had friends like that...take me somewhere really good, I'm always good to go too LOL.

John Williams was good I thought, with The Pops.
I've lived here my whole life (except for the 9 years in Tampa) and never been to the Esplanade to see the Pops on the 4th of July LOL.
Too crowded, I did Watkins Glen in the 70's, glad I did, wouldn't do it again.
The 4th of July is great in my little part of NH
There are fireworks all over the lake and in the surrounding towns and they do them on different days so people can go to several shows.

By eagle4eyes, # 2. July 2008, 15:39:32
It's a wonderful thing to see.
There aren't a whole lot of those types of crowds where I live LOL.

By eagle4eyes, # 2. July 2008, 19:38:59
We had that Obama/Clinton rally in Unity last week, that was a crowd but nothing compared to what it would have been in a more populated area.
My friend covered that event for her newspaper, it was hot, muggy...I stayed home even though her husband tried to get me to go with him. He called it "the Woodstock of politics" and I said...yup, I'll pass LOL.

I love fresh air but there isn't anything fresh about the high 80's and humid.
Well, you know, it's worse there LOL.
By minette061554, # 3. July 2008, 06:19:25
realy strong tobac from the country side.

a man who doesn't sing, dont trust.
me, i don't sing.
they have made an exception.
but i saw, the men there just start to sing,
because it's a nice feeling.
when you understand what they are singing about
you will make big eyes.
about the feet aches, the sun is hot etc.
or they insult you singing let you think they like you.
(i didn't tell them i understand)
they just sing what they feel or think in the moment.
because one don't understand the text
one think they sing very traditional songs.
only the music is traditional.
By ombolan, # 6. July 2008, 10:05:37
Singing is sometimes necessary even if the voice isn't true or strong.
By minette061554, # 7. July 2008, 13:42:18
everybody near you is dying.
maybe you love your people to much.
my mother nearly loved me to dead.
but it's forgiffen.
By ombolan, # 7. July 2008, 17:46:28
By minette061554, # 7. July 2008, 18:57:10
everybody is dying.
one doctor told me 2002 i have 2 years left.
hmm ... now it's 2008 and i'm still waiting.
i want to die, but not now.
i wise woman told me it will be 2008+43=2051 oh la la.
i was 49 i she talked about middle of my live, so 49+49=98.
1953+98=2051, yes, right.
oops, long time to go.
i'm so lazy, yes i am.
By ombolan, # 7. July 2008, 19:07:20
By minette061554, # 7. July 2008, 19:08:42
i'm not sure
1st the brain and then the body
or 1st the body and then the brain.
it's not clear.
but since the brain is a piece of meat also
maybe only the body
and that makes one feel lazy.
By ombolan, # 7. July 2008, 19:12:18
By minette061554, # 7. July 2008, 19:34:14
not to feel it
the most absurd are men about 70/75 in cabriolets
for the women dressed up like 16 but for a multiple of thousend dollars
i close one eye.
for me it's like somebody doing striptease
having both legs cut accidently.
it's so strange that you throw an eye on it for a second.
but then you turn and go thinking: ok, why not.
By ombolan, # 7. July 2008, 19:44:09
but then whatever makes them happy is ok I guess. sometimes they might choose to not share what makes them happy with the public though.
still, I guess we all have to do what we feel right doing.
By minette061554, # 8. July 2008, 04:25:18
am i an idiot like this?
i think this people missed something in their youth
and try to catch up wild life with stiff knees.
By ombolan, # 8. July 2008, 08:44:07
but that's just physical LOL, in my head and heart I am forever young with the wisdom of a woman who is upper middle aged.
By minette061554, # 8. July 2008, 17:54:59
i shake my head about people who believe
us or europe is the paradise.
on the other side they talk bad about us,
maybe less about europe.
it's easier to enter here.
By ombolan, # 8. July 2008, 19:13:39
By minette061554, # 8. July 2008, 19:43:27
i fear the people with own brain will die out.
By ombolan, # 8. July 2008, 20:19:05
By minette061554, # 8. July 2008, 20:22:43
middle america is slim.
europe is open to asia.
if the people start to move - motivated by wrong informations
it will be a desaster.
By ombolan, # 8. July 2008, 20:33:22
well, I can't fix it so I leave it alone most of the time. if I think on it too much I get paranoid...
By minette061554, # 9. July 2008, 03:37:30
paranoia is not good for me.
i went to africa and asked for help.
they acclaimed my demand.
By ombolan, # 9. July 2008, 07:24:27
paranoia is not good for anybody...but this is a scary world these days.
By minette061554, # 9. July 2008, 14:48:18
because the circumstances there are heavy
and the sun is burning down like a champ.
a lot of people still believe
black women dance in skirts made of bananas
and the people there like cooked missionaries.
that's paranoia at it best
By ombolan, # 9. July 2008, 17:55:40
There must not be much for the US in Africa or we would be taking a more active interest there.
By minette061554, # 9. July 2008, 19:37:23
ivory coast produces e.g. 45% of the world cacao production.
but to work there is not so easy.
the fear of malaria, cholera, yellow fiever etc.
"shell" is there, the chinese are there (a lot), libanese, indians.
there's not much space left for us.
they started to late to put their foot in the door.
first they have to learn how to speak with a black man.
respect.
it's tactical not so cute to call a man a nigger
if you want him to give you a good price for something he owns.
and they feel if you think it, even if you keep your mouth shut.
they look back on many centuries of slavery.
it's not forgotten, the fathers tell it to the sons and daughters.
the chinese invest a lot of money there, building railways, stadiums,
hospitals, schools, streets, vehicles for public traffic,
vehicles for police/militair a.s.o.
little industries, farms.
and the africans pay with resources.
even taiwan and china work there together.
asia and africa is more on the same mental level like with europe or us.
By ombolan, # 9. July 2008, 19:53:46
By minette061554, # 13. July 2008, 00:42:40
but what can we do?
it's our nature.
me, i went to africa to learn something.
and they say i have learned my lesson quiet well,
which means i'm welcome, even i'm a white ass.
i have to be prepaired for the future.
there will be a massive change in populations.
just singing a national hymn will not work.
i want to survive on this world.
i respect the territories, the government's bussiness.
us will have maybe a grand-child of africa as president.
maybe usa is redefined to united states of africa.
By ombolan, # 13. July 2008, 09:47:11
they don't care if they ruin the average American, they are wealthy to the point where none of their decisions will affect their standard of living.
but my standard of living has dropped significantly under Bush and assimilating the illegals will finish it off.
so I am scared and worried. I don't know who I'll vote for, not happy with either candidate.
and shame on the Republicans for giving us McCain, he isn't a strong candidate and has waffled too many times regarding his stance on issues.
I don't care for that either.
what to do????
By minette061554, # 13. July 2008, 14:54:25
if somebody ends war, it's obama.
but maybe this is not a good decission, even more populist.
mcCain is weak? (i know french fries with this name)
so don't vote for him.
obama will find a decission for energy war (exporting democracy ...)
he will clearly say no or yes.
if a new president is elected, he can not change everything.
it's more important how he manages the mess he'll find.
maybe he has more credit in the "3rd" world.
everybody is tired of white hardliners.
