Now more than ever.
Now more than ever.
Man, what a few well-placed .30-cal. machine guns and a million rounds of ammo could’ve done.
Did Marty Robbins put that to music? Where can you get it? We could play it on high volume in our vehicles in certain neighborhoods to express a political point.
Talk about winning a war and losing the peace.
But then there were Tejanos in the Alamo who WERE Mexicans and technically so were most of the Anglos there.
I don’t think it’s a sad anniversary at all. I think it’s the anniversary of a bunch of men being men. True heroes stnding up for what they believed in.
Maybe that’s the sad part...that most men aren’t men anymore.
I can still remember the song we sang in a 4th grade play, over 25 years ago:
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
With a line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
To him who would fight to the death, cross over
To him that would live never die
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy-nine
High-yup Santa Anna
They’re killing your soldiers below
That men, wherever they go
Will remember the Alamo.
Always good to remember men using their right of revolution to overthrow and/or secede from oppression!
And now our country is falling to the gradual invasion from the same direction.
A version of ‘Remember the Alamo’ that you may never have heard but is very good, is by Donovan from the 60s.
I can hear Marty singing that song...
Rest in Peace, Heroes of the Alamo.
And Rest in Peace, Marty
