This was one of my older cousin's fav songs. He gave me a handgun on my 21st birthday (he was a gun nut and licensed dealer). He died horribly at 52 when cancer ravaged his body. I remember that we and us family going to visit the hospital. He was a good dude. I got rid of the gun a year later.

It's okay.

Just for extra info. The reason my elder cousin connected with this song back then. He was married. His wife cheated and had a child-- a daughter. Cousin did not know it but the elders in the family told him. (I was still just 20 something-I didn't know) (I know now, and who the father truly is)

My cousin drank himself to death over it.

So if you can listen to that song and put it in context/perspective, you may understand what happened..

I'm sorry, I can't do K-pop because [insert any number of reasons]
I don't do boy bands. LOL

Ok, we'll do one "manufactured" boy band.



K-pop is the same fake as all of that Backstreet Boys. Sorry.

Though I've always loved Seeger and this song, the absolute gut-wrenching joy I felt when I watched this video at a tiny internet cafe in Futaleufu, Chile, was the happiest I can remember now. We could go nowhere in the tiny village that people didnt congratulate us and all TVs were turned to the events.

Everytime I watch it it brings back the feeling of hope and the joy I felt. Thanks, Kendra for posting it.

Neon, such a tragic story. So sorry

I loved this song and sang it all the time. From then on my mother called me Maggie to her dying day!

Since I was a single digit young’un summertime weekends often brought my cousins visiting. All of my first cousins were old enough to have been my parents and by the time they had kids I was old enough to watch them when they all came up. And when they came they came with jugs of whiskey, pots of stew, guitars, banjos, dobros, you name it. They played music, sang and party all weekend. Amazing how talented they all were and there I sat couldn’t play a damn thing or carry a tune in a bucket! My aunt Pat took pity on me and taught me to play the spoons just so I could join in



Also, too, my mom loved boogie woogie and danced the Jitterbug back in her day, she was a heck of a dancer as well as played the guitar and piano so there was also a lot of music like this in the house but she couldn’t play piano like this

I absolutely loved this song when I was young. You could (and can) bounce to it. They did that well.

ETA: This song was the first video broadcast on MTV when it debuted. -- and, ya know, actually did videos...

You can't muck me with this one. Don't even try.
