I wanted to show my grand children the <br />dioramas featuring different songs, only no music was played. When I asked why, I was told it was not allowed. If his music and verse is no longer "acceptable, why is the park open bearing his name. It might as well be call, "The White Springs Stopping Off Place" His music represents a period of our national history. It happened. No matter how you rewright it, or try to change it. To me, there is no shame in history, unless you repeat it. As the old saying goes, "Those who don't learn from history, tend to repeat it." Foster's music is lyrical and beautiful. It's a shame to lose it because it is no longer "politically correct". When will the Beatles be banned or the 60's Where Have All The Flowers Gone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36071458.post-27318618604779361962010-12-02T22:50:36.533-05:002010-12-02T22:50:36.533-05:00Old Florida Town is a great song that tells the wh...Old Florida Town is a great song that tells the whole storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36071458.post-52900527561096922122008-07-01T10:52:00.000-05:002008-07-01T10:52:00.000-05:00Let me know when the last damn yankee leaves Flori...Let me know when the last damn yankee leaves Florida and I'll come home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36071458.post-1169347965087432392007-01-20T21:52:00.000-05:002007-01-20T21:52:00.000-05:00In that case, I recommend "This Land I Love" by Mr...In that case, I recommend "This Land I Love" by Mr. Stuart Pacetti. That should pretty much sum up today's Florida.

Nobody really cares what the good 'ol boys up here think anymore. So often South Florida completely disregards their better half...unless it involves their own personal gain (i.e., stealing water from us or building developments.) I can confidently speak up for North Florida's old residents when I say that we're fed up with it.MinorcanMeteorolgisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095923117456588424noreply@blogger.com
