Noted in Passing: Merry Little Minuet [Updated and Bumped Because LennieLyrics]


Still up to the merry little minute. . .

Now with new and improved lyrics by the reader that says “CallmeLennie:”

The Lennie Minuet

Still rioting in Africa
There’s war in Ukraine
There’s searing heat in Oregon
And DC’s insane

The whole world is fracturing toward extremist poles
The Red States hate wokeness
The Blues hate the Proles
Israelis hate Hezbollah
Sunni Muslims hate Shi’ites
And it seems like most everybody hates the Whites . . .

(Cue uproarious laughter)

But we can’t be tranquil or hateful or smug
Cause man is now plagued by
A function gained bug
And we know for certain that some Fauccing day
Someone will cause a lableak
And we’ll be forced to hide away

Still rioting in Africa
They’re sick in Wuhan
What normal flu won’t do to us
Will be enhanced by our fellow man

(TWANG!)

Works for me as I hum along. . .

    God bless Steve Doocy. The last journalist on Earth.

    Unbelievably incompetent.
    I’m waiting for a turning point, where the entire gov’t is made irrelevant by we the people.
    It could start with 10,000,000 people refusing to pay income tax.

    • Hyland March 28, 2022, 7:25 PM

      There’s far more than 10 million already not paying income tax. Are you paying? Are you going to stop? It all begins right here. Stop participating. But be prepared to answer their letter. Be prepared by reading “The Creature from Jekyll Island” and a slew of other works that prove the income tax is illegal and has no basis in law. Watch Aaron Russo’s “America: From Freedom to Fascism.”

        I’ve been self employed since 1986 and after learning the confiscatory level of theft the gov’t perpetrates on the self employed I learned how to use the system to my advantage. Tired of playing dodge the bullet, in 2006 I took the whole show off road. Yes, I still pay sales tax and various others and I’m constantly searching for ways to overcome the obstacles.

          Are you saying that you don’t pay any income tax?

    • gwbnyc March 28, 2022, 10:27 PM

      then they’ll seize our shit and imprison us, so that action needs 10,000,000 who understand they aren’t going to live forever.

        I’m still wondering how one “refuses to pay” when one’s employer “witholds” the tax in the first place. ‘Splain me the mechanics of that, please.
        There is one last chance, a razor-thin one, that this can be settled more or less peaceably in the fall.

        • ghostsniper March 29, 2022, 1:29 PM

          Work for yourself.
          Yes you can.

          • Boat Guy March 31, 2022, 3:04 PM

            The question I asked is not the one you answered.

    The Hungry i, back when San Francisco . . . was “The City”.
    And Biden was nothing then as he is nothing now. Excepting he is exceedingly dangerous to the entire planet.

  • Spy vs Spy March 28, 2022, 10:13 PM

    Cracked and Mad magazine! All the education one would ever need.
    There are some old photos of Obama and Biden as Beavis and Butthead.
    Another shows exercise equipment victim Harry Reid, pimpstress Nancy D’Alesandro and the immaculate (the One!) Obama as the Three Stooges.
    These are from earlier in the Long March to burn it all down and are considered heretic kulak wrongthink in the Current Year.

    My brother, RIP, entered Mars Hill College in the mountains of western NC in 1961. The area was remote, populated sparsely with mountaineers. He returned home for summer break with folk singer records, and bought a guitar, oddly a four string tenor guitar, or tipple, if you will. A Martin. He got it figured he needed a six string instead and so bought a another Martin, D 35, trading away the tipple. One of his sons later abused the 35, and the tipple should never have been traded just because of its distinctivity. The abuser went on to be a musician, the D 35 still exists. There’s a plaque on building in lower Manhattan where Martin once had a workplace.

    As on the album cover provided above, sparklin’ clean young men filled out the ranks of the folk craze wearing pressed slacks, sensible shoes, crisply ironed button down shirts while sidestepping the hushed commie undertones and performing on shows such as “Hootenanny” emceed by Jack Linkletter. Blacklisting occurred there that rather pulled the show down.

    As rock gathered momentum folk singers turned to it. Traveling in a car the Byrds heard “Mister Tambourine Man” on the radio for the first time. Roger McGuin turned to the others when the song ended and remarked, “We’ll be princes.”

      Mc Guin was right. Princes of Earth.

    • Pebo March 31, 2022, 10:47 AM

      There is a great online article from a few years ago in Fretboard Journal about Tony Rice’s Holy Grail Martin D 28 that he bought from the Clarence White estate after his death.

    The Lennie Minuet

    Still rioting in Africa
    Theres war in Ukraine
    Theres searing heat in Oregon
    And DC’s insane

    The whole world is fracturing toward extremist poles
    The Red States hate wokeness
    The Blues hate the Proles
    Israelis hate Hezbollah
    Sunni Muslims hate Shi’ites
    And it seems like most everybody hates the Whites .. (Cue uproarious laughter)

    But we cant be tranquil or hateful or smug
    Cause man is now plagued by
    A function gained bug
    And we know for certain that some Fauccing day
    Someone will cause a lab leak
    And we’ll be forced to hide away

    Still rioting in Africa
    They’re sick in Wuhan
    What normal flu wont do to us
    Will be enhanced by our fellow man (TWANG!)

    (My Dad was a huge Kingston trio fan, and we both really loved this song. He’d play it all the time)
