Flashback Friday: Cover Song Edition

I recently had an argument with a friend about a cover song that I thought was better than the original. He disagreed. I'll let you decide.

And for the record, I don't get Bob Dylan. Just because he played Woodstock doesn't mean he's a legend...it just means he's old.

When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?

Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all who have served.

Here is a story to remind us of our priorities on this day of rememberance and appreciation.

On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting the Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the store's contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was later channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of Time".
