I filk too! But I guess you knew that. Influences range from Bo Diddley through Guns & Roses to the Ramones.

Over my head the making of any videos, I am impressed with your skill. I understand the hesitation to post some things.

Well written

Very interesting!

There's nothing worse than having people think something you intended as satire is your actual opinion. There's a definite skill involved in it and it's certainly not one I have!

Well, this particular one is me basically using the song to ask outright what the hell are they thinking with HR.3 - and the thing that most drove me to write it is no longer an issue.

Still, I think the particular bit of law is ridiculous, like most of the initial agenda of the house, and as an unemployed person it kind of gives me a little derangement that they went "jobs are most important" and now it's "...after we pander social issues from the crazy part of the base".

It wasn't really satire, but it could be seen as trying to trivialize, and that wasn't my goal.

You have talents, for sure. Wise to know that you can't please all the people all the time. lol
