Morning video: Ship of Fools

Posted in:

Illinois

* This video was suggested yesterday by a longtime subscriber as a Friday afternoon play-out song. I liked it so much that I thought it might be better to start today with it. Oh, save me from tomorrow…

You’re gonna pay tomorrow

Discuss.

Rich,

I would ask you to type out the politicians here in Illinois that inspired you to post this, but I’m guessing that your fingers would be bleeding by the time you got done with all the typing. I know mine would.

I forgot how much I loved this song. It was a staple on XRT back in the day and I haven’t really heard it since. And, man, is it ever appropriate.

Reminds me of a time I once defended someone by using the phrase “Let him win, or go down with his ship”.

I never should have intervened. I, too, was foolish for not realizing that the ship was a Destroyer–but not one of ours.

Not many comments. Maybe if I’d revealed that this video was suggested by Greg Baise at the IMA more people would’ve chimed in.
