The Ballad of Jayne from "Jaynestown"
Jayne the man they call Jayne
he robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor stood up to the man and gave him what for our love for him now ain't hard to explain the hero of Canton the man they call Jayne
our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin' he saw the mudders' lament and he saw the magistrate takin' every dollar and leavin' five cents so he said "you can't do that to my people" he said "you can't crush them under your heel" so Jayne strapped on his hat and in 5 seconds flat stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal
he robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor stood up to the man and gave him what for our love for him now ain't hard to explain the hero of Canton the man they call Jayne
now here is what separates heroes from common folk like you and I the man they call Jayne he turned 'round his plane and let that money hit sky he dropped it onto our houses he dropped it into our yards the man they called Jayne he stole away our pain and headed out for the stars
he robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor stood up to the man and gave him what for our love for him now ain't hard to explain the hero of Canton the man they call Jayne

I dare not say it, but tonight's Galactica episode almost seems like a "filler" episode. Of course, knowing the writers, that means something major is going to happen!

Love my Friday night SciFi. One question,
When will the "unseen" episodes of Firefly
get shown? I didn't know anything about Firefly
until it started showing up on SciFi. Now I'm
hooked and can't wait for the movie. The characters
are great. Ron Harris is fantastic but my favorite
is Adam Baldwin. Reminds me of me, in younger days.

Yeah but NOTHING beats the soundtrack for Galactica.
Check out 30s previews of all the tracks at:
HERE
My absolute favs are:
"The Thousdandth Landing" (great drum beats!)
"The Shape of Things To Come" (just SCREAMS BSG, I also know it as "Gias' Theme")
"Wander My Friends" (Fantastic irish melody sung in Galic, great flute and harmony)
I HIGHLY recommend picking the soundtrack up.

I really like some things about Firefly - sort of Mad Max/Western in Space, the rough frontier western mix, really beat up looking technology. The Stargrates and Femstar Galactica are unbearable. I wouldnt watch either if it was the only thing on television. But I'm in the minority there as they're popular; to each his own.

Thanks for the ping, as always.
BTW, please excuse the vanity, but this seems like a logical thread to ask this question:
I just had my first novel published, a sci-fi adventure, and I'd like to get it into the hands of those fine people in Hollywood, hopefully so someone will make a movie out of it (or at least buy the rights!).
Is there anyone on this thread who has some advice for how a guy living in Calgary can get the book seen there? Agent info, etc.?
Thanks, FRiends! I appreciate the advice and apologize again for the blatant vanity.
Cheers
Jim
