spoons - lots of good stuff in this thread. I hope somebody turns it into a playlist. In my book; however, you nailed it with Stan Rogers:

    And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow

    With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

    Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

    And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.

Thanks, lil. I come by my love of Stan Rogers pretty honestly - My dad always had a few tapes in his truck.

    Rise again, rise again

    though your heart may be broken

    and life about to end

    no matter what you've lost

    be it a home, a love, a friend

    like the Mary Ellen Carter, Rise again.
