    Johnny Cash Dies

    It was such a terrible loss with Johnny Cash's passing. His music is the first I remember being interested in, still have my The Fabulous Johnny Cash LP from 30+ years ago. Mike McK (and it's great to see him over here, the guy really knows his stuff about country music!) said it well about the...

    Any Parrotheads out there?

    I first saw Jimmy Buffett as a freshman in college and have been a confirmed Parrothead since (though I've been disappointed at the paucity of good stuff in the last few years). Any others out there in CF-land? Favorite Buffett songs? A few of mine: Of course, "A Pirate Looks at Forty"...

    Any country music fans here.

    Yes, a longtime country music fan. Was a Johnny Cash fan briefly as a young teenager, then got into rock music some with Alice Cooper and KISS, became a Parrothead (that's another thread) after seeing Jimmy Buffett in college and then came back to country music through listening to the Emmylou...

    A Siberian tiger. IMO, they are the most beautiful animals on earth.

    Alabama License Plates

    Parrotheads take credit for the renewed popularity of the song from Jimmy Buffett's version in the last few years, which he sang at Don Siegelman's gubernatorial inauguration a few years ago, I think. (I'm a Buffett fan, not a Siegelman one)

    What are YOU currently reading?

    Huldrych, I've read the first and last ones you listed. Treason is the only book I've read by Coulter and I loved it. I also enjoyed The Conservative Mind but think that Kirk gives too short shrift to the influence of John Locke (I may have it too confused with his Roots of American Order)...

    In the Navy

    Irish Johan, Of course. I've seen the contrast. I'm in the Naval Reserve and in 1994 we were turning over the Naval Reserve Center in Montgomery, AL (being closed as part of BRAC) to the Marine Reserves. The Navy marched out and in formation, in typical sailor fashion. While we were...

    Early American Colonial History

    Agrippa, Yes. IMO, it is a must read for Constitutional history. Though it gets rather dry in spots, it is very illuminating as to the issues that divided and motivated them. I've also got, but have never read Lansing's (I think he was from Maryland, but was a strong critic of the...

    Early American Colonial History

    My interest is in the non-military side of the Revolution down through the early Federalist period, especially the writing and ratification of the Constitution. I agree with Agrippa. I really enjoyed Ideological Origins, but probably cared less than Agrippa for Wood's book, but I did enjoy...
