I agree. Blind Child brings quality music info. As Wallace on snake Oil, he got bad treatment. We should apply some disability care and concern here. Please keep it up Wallace.

Missi is not the subject of this thread so please cut out the ad hominem.

If you want to discuss him then you have to create a thread with him as the subject, such as Missi - love him or hate him, then he becomes the subject and will only then be modded for insult and conflict. Stick to the facts and the fact will stick to us. There is a fine line between allowing entertainment and even some rule line walking, if the forum gains, and IMO the forum gains more in expert inf and entertainment from him than it suffers from his language. It has been the same with others in the past, in the end we had to part with them to go off and throw their bile and lies somewhere else, don't let that happen with Missi.

We have so many knowledgeless bullshitters on forums, and boring farts, so a few Missi's don't go amiss, make allowances.

That is correct, Fisher Of Trout. (Send some trout my way - I can hardly afford this fish called pollock or basa, crissakes!)

Blind Child is in a bad way: poor, old and blind. Need care and consideration. Loike the Procul Harum track goes, Blind Chile requires some of that milk of human kindness.

(Not to mention....Worse of all, this is Leutonia where the elderly are deemed a drain on the economy and considered fair game by roving gangs of youth.)

LEUTONIA
The Shmenge Brothers were a fictional polka duo who, along with their band The Happy Wanderers, featured on the SCTV television comedy program in 1982-1983. They were played by John Candy as clarinetist Yosh Shmenge and Eugene Levy as accordionist Stan Shmenge. The Shmenge Brothers and their audience are mostly Eastern European expatriates from the fictional country of Leutonia. John Candy based the characters on Czechoslovakian-born Edmonton-based polka cable show host Gaby Haas, and the program draws other humor from the culture surrounding The Lawrence Welk Show which dominated traditional television entertainment in the 1960s.

Much of the oblique humour comes from the subtle but consistent disparity in the brothers' pronunciation of "Shmenge". Together they played polka for an aging eastern-European immigrant audience, who typically dined on cabbage rolls and coffee (provided by the fictional Mrs. Vilve Yachke). Many of their songs were cover versions of popular songs in the tradition of "Weird Al" Yankovic, such as "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" (A Flock of Seagulls) and "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson). The duo also performed original songs, such as "There's Rhythm In My Lederhosen," and "Mama Cook Me Cabbage Rolls," and "The Cabbage Rolls and Coffee Polka."

The Happy Wanderers got their start in Leutonian vaudeville playing the gelkis (an instrument, like the glass harmonica, made of glass jars, but played by smashing rather than sliding a finger along the wet rim), and took up polka during wartime. The duo still celebrates the traditions of Leutonia, where Christmas is celebrated with a symbolic egg, a feast of "haloopniks", and the "exchanging of the socks".

The Shmenge Brothers were the subjects of the 1984 mockumentary The Last Polka. To promote The Last Polka, on February 26, 1985 the Shmenges guested on Late Night with David Letterman where they performed "Cabbage Rolls and Coffee Polka", which included a sing-along with the audience. Their appearance in the 1986 Comic Relief release was their last performance.

Karnington - Smashy Smashy on Snakeoil - would appreciate this. He'd get his Maxwell's Silver Hammer out.
