"...should compile them into a book"

Thanks Jeff. The lyrics are being compiled into songs, my Friend; however, just between you, me and the lamppost, I've already written the first two books of a trilogy--think Tolkien-esque prose--and am living and writing the third as we speak. When Sauron/Klinton is vanquished and imprisoned for the remainder of his Treasonous Life, the Trilogy will be complete and released for publishing.

=^D...there's a Method to my Mudness.

Hey Jeff - see you're here early MDT too.If the initial interest is any indication it looks like it's going to be a busy few years going forward for you. I've been trying to get ready for a business trip next week to the northeast. Will connect before you head to Indiana to see your new grandson.

I know they are songs bro, and good ones too! Can't wait to hear them put to music.

But, the lyrics themselves would also make a good book in their own right, categorized by topic, etc.

Point us to the (Tolkien) trilogy as soon as you can!

Hope you have a good trip

And to you also in November.

I'm flying on Sunday & back on Wed. evening. Following the Scouts dictum to "be prepared", I'm packing a few extra items ... a couple of billiard balls, long stockings & several rolls of quarters, etc.

"The Ballads of Mudboy Slim"

Once upon a time, there was a Magical Kingdom, wherein a God-fearin', industrious People flourished, enjoying their Lives, their Liberty, and their Pursuit of Happiness. These good People were empowered by their Trust in a Guv'ment of Constitutionally-limited Powers, the inherent Goodness of their Democratically-chosen Leaders, and their belief that Justice and the Rule of Law triumphs over all. This Great Kingdom, led by the patriot Reagan, fought the Great Crusade against the evil, totalitarian Red Fiefdom accross the Sea, and were Victorious, inspiring other Sheeples--longing fer FReedom--to look upon the Kingdom as a Shining City on the Hill.

Until one day, a devious cabal of Power-hungry men and womyn infiltrated the Kingdom, casting a wicked spell of Fear, Cynicism, and Doubt that steadily enslaved ever-increasing numbers of these fine People in the Shackles of Dependency and Entitlement. And the Power of these Despoilers of FReedom--who called themselves Lib'rals--grew immense, as they wrested control of the Halls of Enlightenment, the Chroniclers of Information, the Ministry of Culture, and the gargantuan Bureaucracy of Regulators. As the Great Reagan and his many strong Knights returned from vanquishing the Despots of the Red Fiefdom, they wearily attempted to resist this Vast, LeftWing Conspiracy and the sinister Tide of Pessimism that had permeated the Soul of their once-great Kingdom. However, Reagan had grown weak and ill from his heroic efforts, and the Defenders of Liberty--who called themselves Conservatives--found themselves without a strong Leader, and temporarily without direction. And the Sheeple were spell-bound and silent...

Into this breach strode the vile, boorish ruler, Slick Willie...a charlatan without a Soul, devoid of Character, and driven only by a shameless Lust Fer Power (and fer Harlots to whom he was not Betrothed). The Lib'rals hailed his tyrannical reign and excused his treasonous crimes, as the self-styled "Effete Elite" secretly despised the Kingdom's granting of FReedom and Liberty to the peasant Sheeple, for by empowering their subjects, the Lib'rals tenuous claim on Power was undercut. The corrupt Slick Willie--who came to be known as Billzabubba the Cruel--sought to further the Enslavement of the once-strong People by not-so-secretly colluding with the Despots of a new, totalitarian Red Fiefdom accross the Sea, and conspired to increase his countrymen's dependence upon the Omnipotent Diety of Government. Still, the Sheeple remained spell-bound and largely silent...

Until, gloriously, a wise man of Noble, yet Humble, descent--who came to be known as the Maja Rushdie--arose from amongst the Masses, and spread accross the Kingdom his message of The Way Things Ought To Be!! An heir to the Optimism of Reagan, the Maja Rushdie inspired Millions to awake from their Mellow Apathy and strike out against the tyrannical rule of the Lib'rals and the reign of the EVIL BillzaBubba. Still, most of the Sheeple remained spell-bound and largely without harmony...

Finally, a young balladeer--who came to be known as Mudboy Slim--joined the Great Crusade against Slick Willie!! This handsome young Patriot combined the optimism of Reagan with the Wisdom of the Maja Rushdie, vocalizing many great folk songs that enlivened the Masses, thereby causing the corrupt, Lib'ral spell to be broken and BillzaBubba and his Lib'ral apologists to be Vanquished from Power!!

Thus, there dawned a great new Libertarian Era of ever-shrinking Governmental Authority and ever-growing Individual Liberty and Personal Responsibility. Herein are compiled but a few of those songs that have been passed down through the Ages...

"The Ballads Of Mudboy Slim"

LOL...this is sort of the style in which the trilogy is being written, with many songs, footnotes, etc. included as well. This writin' gig sure is a Labor of Love, ain't it, guys?!

Well said bro ... in fact, the good leader Reagen took the Kingdom from others of the Liberal persuassion, who then took 12 years to regroup and then came again in the form of a perverted 'toon.

Here's a less poetic, but similar article I wrote regarding this in October of 1998:

How we came to be in this condition

All the best to you Mud! Keep after it.

I understand ... are you going to tell them that you're carrying the billard balls for a tournament or something? .

The socks and quarters should fit the bill and get on without undue hassle I would think.

Fly safe ... stay safe.

RE the billiard balls, uh...yeah...good point. Maybe I'll substitute a couple of baseballs...tell 'em I'm going for an autograph fare. I have a matched set of those Chinese theraputic stone spheres - in a velvet lined box yet complete with instructions in english - which my brother in law brought from the PRC when he visited there about 10 years back. You've probably seen them in your travels. I don't believe I could get them through.

How very appropriate. I bet they could get through, depending on the size.

If not, the quarters in the socks still work though.

Much promise here MUD. BTW concerning Rush - Sad to hear of his plight. The poor guy's voice is starting to sound like Matt Drudge's.
