Wow, very cool to me - - another song I've heard but had not paid attention and knew not the story behind the song. I've always loved the whistling parts.  :)

Thanks for "opening my ears" to the song's story.

Hi Element 99, I apologize for taking forever to get through the answers to my question. I've been going in order. I will get to your answer. I'm sending this to those whose answers I still have to reply to. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at September 27, 2023 3:41 PM MDT

Too difficult to listen to for me now.
I know the song, the event well.
Remember it.
Flawless answer to me.

This song always hits me strongly and I've always liked it.

Well, thanks Urban Spaceman!
Whether it's good or not, my own taste is all I know and my taste is mine.  :)  And yours -- with this song at least.  :)

Good to see you!

Good to see you too, Welby.

No feelings attached my friend Welby. Seriously Weby. Take your sweet time. My AI generated at! This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at August 11, 2023 8:14 PM MDT

Oh no big deal and no worries Welby! Life is all up transient and too short to mince words words..uhh..Hey yo! When 25 I was music-ing out and I bought this very recording but God knows where I can even get a single song of it to play. Maybe if I look up Steve. I remember digging it like hell though.

PSYCHO MOTOR EFFECTPsycho Motor Effect cassette

Folk, mutant psychedelia, and experimental influences abound on this debut cassette. Acoustic and electric guitars predominate over lilting vocals in these improvisational-sounding songs; I felt that this band needs to apply more structure and invention to their output.

Thanks, Cosmic.

And I may try looking it up, thanks.


Yes, that She-Monster movie you mentioned again recently somewhere to me on the site --  - -I  must've have watched that movie at the perfect time for me. I love its "small/everyday" feel and true disturbing  scariness for me.  :)  :)

And we both know I have you to thank for my finally watching it, ha!! :)

Thanks Cosmic Wunderkind. 
I like Tom T. Hall.
And his song, from 1973 -- very prophetic and sort of indicates to me that the observations we humans have don't change too much over decades. And probably centuries.  :)

We disagree on this song, I know, but I have fond memoires of small towns, too.
I, too, don't like people using violence/threatening to use violence as part of a protest. I respect the goal of avoiding violence.

And I assume it's okay in small towns to destroy other people's property if one disagrees with those who wish to protest/demonstrate. Letting air out of tires or flattening the tires counts as destroying property to me.
From what I've seen, read, and heard, I strongly disagree with the Westboro Baptist Church but, to me, especially at the funeral of one who was the military, the higher-road choice for me is to simply ignore the group's demonstration. I simply shake my head at them and give higher honor and attention to the deceased, he/she is the one who truly deserves the attention and respect.
Two wrongs don't make a right for me in that case.

My fond memories of my small towns indeed include "taking care of our own," but they do not include violence and destroying property. And taking care of our own happens very often in the bigger towns for me, too.

Their tires were not damaged.  Just had the air released.  I guess I should have made that clear in my answer. 

No worries, I was thinking the same thing a while after posting.
And I've thought more about the song. I may not like it so well but I get more of the point. Adn making points with music is a good way to make a point ,rather than other ways.  :)

Hi, I think I was here continuing our discussion about the song from your own posted question about the song. And here I went off onto another tangent unrelated to your answer here, sorry. Unfair of me.

Your answer here is a good answer to my question.  :)

Hi Flint Ironstag, I apologize for taking forever to get through the answers to my question. I've been going in order. I will get to your answer. I'm sending this to those whose answers I still have to reply to. 

Yet another "Oh Wow" for me in my list of answers to my posted question, Flint Ironstag - -  the group's name and the group's song didn't register as the 1988 air disaster. I will be back to listen when the chills lessen on me.
