I wish I knew the answer. I've been managing this site for a few years now. We've had our moments of activity but for the most part people come and view but don't comment. I wish they would. I know most of the people you see here in the photographs and they are fun people as most VEE dubs are. But there seems to be a reluctence to post stuff, even if it is just talk. Oh well, so it goes.

Post your clubs photos it,s easy to do, if I can do it so can you! I see a lot of post to the events, now follow up with some photos or a story.

If you were in TX you would be looking for a way to get away from some people that once they get started can't find a place to stop.

A favorite of mine by Jim Morrison is

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down.

But to quote from the same song you quoted from and with apologies to Mr, Morrison

The Vee Dubs in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."

I see what you mean.  I just posted a request for technically help and decided to look around.  There are months between a post and a reply.  I would comment but figure the response would be outdated.

Hopefully my reply was timely enough.  I think there are so many forums now = perhaps that's the problem.

You know I go on the Samba and Full Moon and there are posts every minute it seems. For some reason this site seems kinda dead. I check it out every now and then but there never seems to be hardly any new posts. It seems to pick up during the warmer months when campouts occur. By the way 85-gon, where in Cape May do you live? I am over in Villas with my 72 Bus. We should get together sometime and talk about our buses.

John Prine is correct!

It is from "Angel From Montgomery"

Maybe we just need a couple of more categories - for general chit-chat?

Any ideas from anyone?

Angel from Montgomery is correct but John Denver did it first I,m not sure of the author but its been done by a lot of folks. nice job

John Prine wrote the song.  


I got the following explanation from the http://jpshrine.org/lyrics/ (http://jpshrine.org/lyrics/) website:

Angel From Montgomery notes

    An "Angel from Montgomery" refers to a pardon for a prison sentence from the governor. It is also used to refer to a last minute pardon from the death sentence. The phrase originated in Alabama where the capital is Montgomery.
    The way John puts it the woman is living in her own self made prison that she can't escape from, hence she needs a pardon (the angel from Montgomery).

    from Great Days the John Prine Anthology: "I had a buddy named Eddie Holstein in Chicago who was a songwriter - he later became a club owner - and he wanted to co-write with me. I'd just written Hello In There.
    I said, "Eddie, that's all I got to say about old people. How about one about a middle-aged woman that feels older than she is?"
    He said "Okay."
    "I wrote the first verse, and he lost interest in her. A week later, I finished the thing."
    "Eddie always used to tell people that I was writing about the Montgomery Ward building in Chicago, which has an angel on top that sticks out on a flagpole. I didn't know that, but that's where Eddie thought I got the idea."
    "The woman, she's gonna keep fixing dinner, living in this house, staying married. She probably won't get up the nerve to leave the guy. But it's just that - a portrait of a lot of people who are doing that."

I didn,t know that thanks I heard John sing the song in the mid 70,s I allways loved the lyrics. I,d put them on pare with the Lizard King. later the Lord of Cons

: 85-gon December 26, 2007, 09:56:41 PM
Yes, this is one of many great John Prine songs.  In fact I am looking at my autographed fly swatter, hanging on my office wall, as I type.  I have been following him since the mid 70's.   :D
: angel from mongomery
: tonyp December 27, 2007, 05:13:23 PM
I just recently saw Susan Thedeski do the song and it's always one of my favorites in her show. another great cover of the song is by Bonnie Raitt.  Maybe we could get the Garden Nome to have a campfire sing along at our next campout instead of the Hamburg show or maybe invite Jahn Prine along for a Illegal Smile sing along.

Here's a favorite song of mine by John Prine, "In spite of Ourselves"

And when you're done watching that, watch Iris Demint doing "Our Town"

I think Our Town was the song that was used in the last scene of Northern Exposure.  I liked that show alot.  She toured with John prine a bunch in the late 90's early 00's I think.

I love listening to John Prine as well.  It's surprising to me how many people never heard of him.  

Glad to see there's some appreciation for his stuff on here.  When he and Steve Goodman got together it was great too!

: phil December 29, 2007, 10:56:29 AM
That is where I first heard the song "Our Town" by Iris Demint, on the last episode of Northern Exposure. I LOVED it. That was a great TV series. Very innovative.
I love Iris's voice. She has a natural twang to it.

Saw Iris a few months back in Sellerville, PA.

A great show.....

i know, i for one troll alot, only because some of the folks on here are like walking bentley manuals and im one of those trial by error kind of guys that needs the mcguyver type of persons advice to get the job done...lots of folks are asking technical questions here and  :oops:  :lol: well unless ive got two tries to get it right a stick of gum, a paperclip, rubberband and matches im useless.. :wink:
:
: CBussin86 September 10, 2008, 05:11:34 PM
there is something about a rubber band and paperclip that can fix anything..and dont forget duct tape...when in doubt duct tape it :) (im joking LOL)

Yes so many people know what they are talking about. And the amout of ideas and different viewpoints and what different things they do to their busses is excellent. I learned so much here and at the campouts there is so much information its overload :) Can always use info as 3 of our busses do not run currently. Although the 85 weekender named Muffin best be running soon..$$$
