Words are by Idris Davies, from a cycle of poems called _Gwalia Deserta_ (1938). Pete Seeger set it to music in the 1950s, and the Byrds did an arrangement of Seeger's music in the 60s. Robyn and the Soft Boys cover the Byrds' version. (As I recall, it's credited to Davies/Seeger/McGuinn on the _Two Halves For The Price Of One_ disc.) The Oyster Band went back to the Idris Davies original for their new musical setting and arrangement on _Deserters_ (1992). It has an extra verse that Seeger snipped from his arrangement -- a more politicized and angry bunch of lines that the ones he included. >> Stomping All Over the World > >Is this a Robyn original?

Well, no. The thing with New Zealand is, there's every conceivable natural landscape within a very small area, which is one of the reasons Hercules and Xena can be filmed more cheaply on the other side of the world. There's bush, forests, mountains, glaciers, fjords, volcanoes, islands, plains, surf beaches, cities, farmland, even a little desert of sorts, and you'd only have to travel a couple of hours by plane to hit any of them - sometimes less. (In addition, there are *piles* of out-of-work actors/crew in New Zealand, who'll accept crappy wages as extras because our local tv content is practically nil (yay, cultural imperialism) and our film industry is very short on dosh. Listen carefully if any of them have one-line parts - you'll hear the Californian accents they put on slip occasionally.) I'm dubious about this film adaptation because I'm terribly worried that Peter Jackson is going to blow it, and I think he's one of New Zealand's few directorial auteurs. I respect him so much that if he goes the Lee Tamahori route (makes Once Were Warriors - -> goes to Hollywood -> makes Mulholland Falls. And let's not even *talk* about Roger Donaldson), I'll be immensely disappointed. We don't seem to be able to maintain our peculiar vision once Hollywood gets into the picture... Ebbisms. Yeah, you *would* like this thread, Eb. ;) Well, I think we could probably add , since he uses it more (and to greater infuriating effect!) than anyone else around here - though it isn't strictly an Ebbism, as such. I think 'weenie' should have the optional prefix 'collector-weenie', too. More as they come to mind. Danielle, who'd give just about anything to see New Zealand's extravagantly deep green landscape out of a plane window right now :/ _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

There are worse comparisons to be taken. I just got the new Whitechocolatespaceegg CD. Now, I am aware of the fact that I probably, in fact, do live under a rock, but I don't know what Liz Phair looks like except for the booklet. Don't hit me, but Karen looks more than a bit like the Liz Phair on the outside of the CD booklet. The Liz Phair inside looks diff'r'nt. I have a friend who used to go on blind dates, and told the prospective women that he looked like a comically tall version of the out-of-wedlock lovechild of Yassir Arafat and Alan Ginsberg. The few women that showed up on different "dating opportunities," were actually quite relieved when they saw him. I guess it kinda softens the blow. My sweety thinks that the Professor Parsons character on Science Court, a show that everybody should see, is modeled after me. I kind of agree, but he doesn't have quite a lot of hair- and he's really smart. Oh, maybe he's nothing like me at all, since that image conflicts with my two most obvious outward characteristics. I have always made weird faces, trying to get it to stick the way mom said it would. I have learned that parents can be "full of shit" sometimes. I hadn't watched Saturday Night Live in years, but people asked me for about five years if I was "Garf," meaning the "Garth" character from Wayne's World. I also was asked if I was doing the Church Lady. James, has this ever happened to you? I do look a little like Dana Carvey, but my George Bush is definitely better- I can't touch his Peerot.
