This is not a OP about the clam cult or anything related to it; this is just a "diversion op" to take your minds off of the cult of the poisoned mind. I, for one, enjoy these vacations from the constant battle for humanity and the demise of an ugly, mean chapter in our human history: the cult of the "church" <spit> of scientology <spit again>.
I was listening to quite a number of videos tonight and I happened upon one of my favourites, which got me thinking about how truly lucky I am to have been born a Canadian.
We, as a people's, have contributed to the world with our science, our take on things such as our peacekeeping, not warmongering military, our devotion to what is right and our abhorrence to what is wrong. There's our love of the puck and stick game called hockey and we produce most of the world's best at it. There's our great actors, even if most have gone Hollywood (Captain Kirk: shame on you!) and our great musicians, here and there. There are many things that we as a people have done and that bring my pride, always. Music is one of these things. Be it the KD Lang or Shania Twain or many, many, others, I always feel some national pride when I hear their songs.
Tonight I was listening to one song in particular that just brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, as it was sung by the great Canadian singer and artist KD Lang, of a song written by a great Canadian songwriter, Leonard Cohen, sung at the closing of the greatest Canadian Olympics ever for our nation: the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Being human, this song and KD's rendition of it must strike a chord within all of you. That chord is your opportunity to feel what it is like, at times, to be a Canadian. This Canadian classic song has been sung by hundreds or more. It is a beautiful, beautiful song. KD truly does it justice. I actually didn't even think of her total "alternate sexuality" while she sang this song. It truly had nothing to do with one of her best performances for a audience of hundreds of millions around the world.
Her singing of this song at the close of the Olympics, where we had won more gold and other medals than ever before in history, in one our our greatest cities, being closed with a song from one of our greatest singers, of a song written by one of our greatest songwriters had prolly every single Canadian listening and watching with tears in our eyes. It was a perfect moment.
Just saying, eh. :wink2:
I hope you all enjoy the song and the moment. - TG Zorg
