Let's get it from the writer, shall we? "In our interview with Tommy James, he explained: "'Draggin' The Line' I wrote up at my farm in 1970, and it was with Bob King. My farm was in upstate New York, I had a couple hundred acres. It was a song I probably couldn't have written in the city. We just kind of toyed with it. We wrote it, and it was a very repetitious track, and a very sort of hypnotic track. We had the track before we had the song. We went into the studio and just laid down, I don't know, eight or ten bars of track. We looped it and looped it and looped it, and created the hypnotic rhythm. Bob played bass, Russ Leslie from Neon played drums, and I played guitar. And so we just created loops of tape based on this little riff, and when we had three-plus minutes of it put together we stopped, and then we wrote the song around the track. Second time I had ever done that - first one was "Mony" actually. 'Draggin' the Line' just meant working every day. Nothing really very mysterious about it."
Yup.. "working every day," how Kid draws the connection between it and Conservatives. A few dopes have suggested it's lines of coke, others even say it's a Christian song (what?)....but let's let the writer tell us what it's about, OKAY?
Rosemary here: Hi there. All is well. Taking care of the oldsters and trying to have some life apart from that. The kittyboys are doing great. They are very funny. Miles is the underling, but he is a full pound heavier that Mr Pierro. They race around like two monkeys all day, or rest in a furry heap. Times they are changing and this is the result of absolute stupidity. Hubbs and I were in the Socialist State of Maryland yesterday, meeting up with real estate agents in order to get the oldsters house sold. The first two women were brilliant and I knew they were conservative. The third was this guy Bill Lambros, He thought he was a genius. He talked non stop. In the end we discussed a little politics, and it was no surprise to me that my liberal idiot alarm went off. I will be glad when we sell that house. My dad paid cash for it 25 years ago, so he will make a nice chunk of cash. I hate Maryland. My sister still lives there and I would love to get her the heck out of there too. That is my next project. I hope you are doing well. I hope you are preparing for the worst.
Hi Rosemary, It's great to hear from you and about your boys, and it's nice to hear they are doing so well. You describe them so well on your blog, and with the pictures I feel like I know them. They must be a riot.
Yes there is so much stupidity out there is seems. SO tiring.
Isn't it interesting that the people who know the least think they know the most and the people who know the most realize how much they don't know? :)
When I was young -11 or 12, our folks drove us to see a cousin who was married to and FBI guy and they lived in Hagerstown MD. There was nothing there that interested me. Very bland place and anywhere halfway near to DC has to be a liberal fever swamp these days.
That duck is an amazing fellow, isn’t he Kid? I doubt if I have ever seen anyone more dedicated to being wrong. Does that make him a complete douche? Probably.
Kid: may I suggest you not publish that idiot's hate-filled garbage? This troll's sole purpose on these threads is to piss on them. Don't give him a venue. I don't.
No more thinking about it, Kid. Just do it. It's the right thing to do. You will notice I will never mention the bung hole's name. Never again. Give's him a platform which he doesn't deserve.
Exactly Constance, There's nothing to argue about. Some libtard was posting about Reagan's poor economy the other day. 10 seconds of research would resolve the error. Ditto any other subject they rant about. Well, 3 year old evil children. All you have to know.
Just: liberals do not argue. That's not what their spewing of hate is called. They never engage in the facts, but engage in every manner of muddying the waters, misdirection and entering into the 'discussion' red herrings, straw men and other disingenous tricks to turn the 'argument' into a proposition that their opponent is evil, or otherwise discredited.
Never do you hear logic from the left. Their philosophy (Marx, Lenin, Mao, etc.) is bankrupt, and does not stand up to reason, logic and facts. It thrives in the emotion of the day.
Thanks for the flashback. I'd not heard that one in many., many years. And I agree with Fredd. If the guy's just popping by to made stupid remarks, block him.
Euripides. Done Deal. And it's my own advice too for a long time now. Yea no redeeming value. I've never seen the loser do anything but sit on the fence throwing rocks. Aren't we all glad we're not him :) I don't do screening of comments so 'll delete the debris when it shows up and I access the blog.
AOW, Yes, it has nothing to do with cocaine of course. That someone would take the word Line and assume it has something to with cocaine is an impossible stretch in 1971. This is all about working for a living (draggin the line) and enjoying life. A true conservative path.
And thanks for reminding me ducks pecker tracks were still here. There aren't anymore. I'll be deleting his comments from here on for future posts. There is no positive value to them what so ever.
To everyone, please never respond to the duck. I don't want to moderate the comments. I only disallow anon's. Therefore, as soon as I get to the PC, if the pecker tracks are there, rest assured they won't be for long.
Somebody's got to work.
ReplyDeleteEd, we need to figure out how to trade places with the libtards.

Kid...well done.
Z, Very Nice. Thanks. I would have done that myself if I thought duck and his ilk were worth the time of day.
DeleteIt's a great tune isn't it? Working and enjoying life, Even hugging a tree. heh.

Thanks for stopping by and for the update :)
That duck is an amazing fellow, isn’t he Kid? I doubt if I have ever seen anyone more dedicated to being wrong. Does that make him a complete douche? Probably.
ReplyDeleteMustang, bottom line he's a hateful unhappy little sucker. And stupid of course. He must deserve it.
DeleteKid: may I suggest you not publish that idiot's hate-filled garbage? This troll's sole purpose on these threads is to piss on them. Don't give him a venue. I don't.
DeleteI'm thinking about it Fredd, he's just a hate filled loser with no redeeming value. And a suggestion I've made myself on other blogs so..
DeleteNo more thinking about it, Kid. Just do it. It's the right thing to do. You will notice I will never mention the bung hole's name. Never again. Give's him a platform which he doesn't deserve.
Delete;-) Fredd, Ok, My brother.
Deletebrings back good memories- Kid--
ReplyDeletethank you for the much needed 'heart' smile--
C-CS
Carol-CS. Those were the days.
DeleteUnlike liberals, I don’t find it as being necessary to argue.
ReplyDeleteDo You Want to Know Why? I Bring Facts To The Table. I don't invent them.

Fredd, after reading your comment all I can conclude is that you're a racist. ;-)

ReplyDeleteEuripides. Done Deal. And it's my own advice too for a long time now. Yea no redeeming value. I've never seen the loser do anything but sit on the fence throwing rocks.

DeleteEuripedes. Thanks for the follow. For the life of me I don't know why I don't have 8 million followers by now .. :)
DeleteWe don't get eight million followers because we tell people what they need to know, not what they want to hear. Cheers!
DeleteEuripides. Heh! I'll buy that !
DeleteKid: listen to Euripides. His brain is almost as huge and bulging as yours.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the bulge was just my tumor....
DeleteFredd, You and he are way smarter than me. I just get a bolt from the blue on occasion.
DeleteI always thought this song had more to do with car cruisin'.
ReplyDeleteWasn't much of a "cocaine epidemic" until much later-- or so I thought.
Anyway, it's a great tune.
AOW, Yes, it has nothing to do with cocaine of course. That someone would take the word Line and assume it has something to with cocaine is an impossible stretch in 1971. This is all about working for a living (draggin the line) and enjoying life. A true conservative path.

Kid,
DeleteThis is all about working for a living (draggin the line) and enjoying life. A true conservative path.
I didn't know much about the conservative path, when I was in college and listening to this tune.
AOW, I was living it, I just didn't know what it was called. ;-)
