English. Catholic. Conservative. And not at all sorry.

English. Catholic. Conservative. And not at all sorry.
Weep weep, O Walsingham
Weep, weep O Walsingam, Whose dayes are nightes,
Blessings turned to blasphemies, Holy deedes to dispites.
Sinne is where our Ladye sate, Heaven turned is to helle;
Sathan sitte where our Lord did swaye,
Walsingam, oh, farewell!

"A certain famous theologian teaching in a Roman university, was arrested by the Inquisition whilst giving a lecture. He was detained four years and exonerated upon examination. When he was released he calmly returned to his lectern and began, "As I was saying yesterday..."

Um ... Hilary ... this is a joke, right? And what's a "ska"? This, this "music" is very bad for you. And you know that. Sure, I still listen to some Joe Walsh or Mellancamp in the car when I'm alone, for old time's sake, but I'm trying to quit and don't inflict it on anyone else.
I believe Catholic Restorationists has established a tribunal for these sorts of offenses. Skojec's a real terror on the bench. Better call your lawyer.
I'm the terror of the Restorationist crowd and I ain't a'scairt o' nowt.
And I'll like whatever kind of music I bloody well like, thank you very much.
...and I'm not at all surprised that you don't know what Ska is. You are a colonial, after all yes?
Oh, I got it now. We colonials call them SKs. As in boots. Those dudes in your video look like they need a good SKing to me. :-)
a jolly bunch of troublemakers they were too.
Alas, they grew up and have lamentably settled down. I think the One Step Beyond performance was filmed in 1976. The 80's started early in Britain, and was pioneered by such as these. Sad to see these rather charming boys all grow'd up, rounded about the tum, and looking decidedly less fun.
Ska endures, however, among those nostalgic for simpler times.
