when i was a little girl in the 70s,i really, really REALLY thought that my dad was Buddy Holly. His high school picture looks so uncannily like him, and my pop is a music teacher who plays the guitar. I thought that my dad was Buddy Holly and that he had escaped the crash to marry my mom.

In retrospect, I might have been wrong.

Unnecessary to put pictures up on the main page. A posted link with a "warning - some images are graphic" would have been fine. I'll never be able to get the image of "blood sauce" and baby duck fetus out of my head, and those images GREATLY disturbed me.
Neatorama - epic FAIL.

seriously?

i have studied music for the last 29 years, and trust me: i am totally open to new,avant-garde, unthought-of, heretofore unknown styles of music.

but this just sucked. get yourself a circle of fifths for crissakes. and the narrator clearly knows not from common time or cut time or syncopation. what happens if you want 9/5 "gumball" time? are you screwed? poor dave brubeck...he's fah-cahc-ta'd. Phonetically speaking, of course.

neatorama, i am surprised at you. the blurbs that you post are usually so full of actual, neato information. sadly, this link is quite poor; written, so far as i can tell, by someone who has no actual knowledge of the history behind nursery rhymes. many nursery rhymes were actually ways to communicate information to specific parties via code (for example, 'sing a song of sixpence' was actually a secret recruitment call for Blackbeard the pirate), and taking them at face value just to opine on them with a 21st century mind does a great injustice.
i hang my head in sorrow.
