I didn't mention it in the Trivia Quiz, but there is one Merle song I was actually looking for because I found it somewhat amusing when I heard it. It's one of the latest Merle songs I ever heard, but it was quite some time back (80s, IIRC). Oddly, it was on absolutely none of the CDs available at the local Borders when we visited.
Granted, it's not one of his best efforts, but it is an amusing little tune and is probably known to the Merle fans in the audience, so I'm going to pose this one single question. Presupposing all of the following preconditions:
When the world wide war is over and done and the dream of peace comes true,
When they find out how to burn water and the gasoline car is gone,
When an airplane flies without any fuel and the satellite heats our home,
One of these days when the air clears up, and the sun comes shinin' through,
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin' and they won't be booin' no more,
When a President goes through the White House door and does what he says he'll do,
when all of these preconditions happen, what will we be doing?

Posted by: Joel at August 26, 2007 05:59 PMHate to break it to you, buddy, but all the good times are past and gone.
I know it's hard to accept, but stiff upper lip and all that...
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at August 26, 2007 06:03 PMHeh. Reminds me a bit of the "lemonade springs where the bluebird sings, etc." of a couple of generations prior.
