Haven’t tried the Spreae Eagle Tavern - Haven’t been out that way. maybe on my next trip. When Ohio Thaws out! đ
Curious; On the rebound from a collapsed marriage at that time I was dating a girl who was crazy about the JM and the doors... no memory of that song at all. I picked up the term back in the 50's from a book by a comedy writer, H. Allen Smith: Lost in the Horse Latitudes. I didn't take the term as more than serendipity until a few years ago; looked it up and by golly I found it in Wikipedia.
Now you come along and tell me it was a song with a popular group from my middle years. Yikes! Where do the years go? đ´
***it was probably some drug-induced babble on Morrisonâs part***
I (we) were extricating ourselves from 'nam at that time and drugs were everywhere... Alice's Restaurant and all that. Somehow a lot of that passed me by - or I passed it by. Typical rebound: the girl left me for someone else and I got stuck in the establishment: network TV news, NYC. No flowers in my hair, no beard, no drugs. sigh
I wouldn’t call Horse Latitudes a chant, there is no musical content in the track - with some bkgd sound effects like wind and others alluding to noise akin to a ship /storm at sea its Jim reciting a poem he wrote and its not babble at all.
Mid third quarter, I knew it was over. Ohio State couldn’t put things together. The dynamic was no longer there.
People whined about Ohio State even being in the playoffs, and that is valid, except that they beat Clemson soundly. Maybe Clemson shouldn’t have been there. Is the top 4 ever really the top 4?

Looks like the W. Averell Harriman Democracy Award (the event took place in 2012, although she was awarded it in 1996 while under house arrest.)

I guess I was being a little bit dismissive of it in my last post. I did try to find deep meaning in those words, never really found them, but perhaps I was looking too deeply. But again, I was quit young an impressionable.
Anyway, yeah, I much appreciated the musical stuff form the Doors much more.

Request for removal sent. My understanding was that as long as credit was given to creator in the image that it was ok, and as long as you are not profiting from the image and trying to sell. Same with music copyrights. My apologies.
That looks like Trump is addressing military groups live.
Horse latitudes.

Courtesy ping to LonePalm because it’s nautical stuff.
Gasshog has good memory of it - It’s worth looking up because some of the doors music was really well done.
This had to be the early 70s when it came out. In 1970, I was in 5th grade and I recall distinctly watching the Ohio National Guard heading south (towards Kent) as I walked home from school.
Fast forward to a few nights later, and my dad (WW2 vet) and brother (new College student) had quite the conversation at the dinner table. I sat between them.
Torn between two distinct points of view, I was. Ironically, some 29 years later, I took a college course in my last year at Baldwin Wallace College entitled “The History of Vietnam”. It was the fast version, very birds-eye view, but during the course, the professor mentioned that he was teaching at the school when the Kent State shootings took place. His words mentioned that traveling rabble rousers tried to invade the Baldwin Wallace campus a few days before the Kent state episode, but were run off by the college football team. GO, YELLOWJACKETS!!!
Of course, I was an impressionable young teen when they came out, more intent on following in my brotherâs footsteps. He was, at the time, the one to whom I sought to be...
Me too, in retrospect Scary isnt it?

Thinking face"
There's snow on the car driving by. There's snow by a tree across the street. The road is wet. Traffic must have melted whatever little amount fell.
Just my personal opinion - but I think the troops are coming in, not because of possible repeat of Jan 6 by the cough***cough** Patriots, but because once all the dirty deeds (election theft, trafficking, child abuse, COVID, etc.), most of the LEFT will be fuming, along with us Patriots. Think of BLM and Antifa on steroids. Pelosi, the drama queen, wants everyone to believe that the Demorats need protection from the Patriots (and some House reps, lol) but she knows once this all comes out - she and the party will be hunted.
