Re: no country for old men
Looks like fun.... extraordinarily EXPENSIVE fun, though."Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

Cripes No "tattered coat upon a stick" there.

Re: no country for old men
Yeats pretty much pwned the English language. Tom, are you familiar with the Waterboys? They recorded an album of Yeats set to their inimitable music, which may or may not interest you...What are you doing about it?

Re: no country for old men
Oh, they're great. This Is The Sea was the first album of theirs that really blew me away, back in the 80s, followed by Fisherman's Blues (which BTW has a version of Yeats' "The Stolen Child" that blows Loreena McKennitt's out of the water). Dream Harder is also excellent, and they have a new one I haven't ordered yet. The first video sounded great though.
ETA - what the hey, here's a video:
