The Daily Teaser — 12-9-2013: Hey, Hey … !

Bloody Hell!

I have to admit, I have a bit of TV on, from last night: called The Wipers Times.

Fascinating stuff: and based on the true story of the satirical magazine of the same name.

Fascinating … 

And gruesomely tragic.

This is, after all, about a satirical magazine made and produced by frontline troops during World War 1: including from on the trenches at the Battle of The Somme.

And if THAT doesn’t make you think … ?

Well … you’re a better man than I … !

“We may be the only group legitimately fighting the thing which most groups claim to be totally anti, and that’s establishment. I mean, we may have been the only one to have won. Because we actually did. We hadn’t seen a royalty check or anything. We were on top; we were number 1. And we finally went in … and we said ‘you do it our way, or we quit’. And that’s all there is to it.”

Mike Nesmith, speaking of his time with the band.

And with this tune … 

Have a good day …
