In 1772, a slave trader named John Newton was transporting African slaves aboard his ship, and at some point in the voyage, as he watched the slaves suffering, he had an Epiphany, an abrupt change of heart, compassion flooded through him.

Newton wrote a poem about that, he titled it "Amazing Grace".

60 years later, somebody put the poem to music. They chose a major key triad and went to work.

Since then, Amazing Grace, like a musical epidemic, has infected the entire world. The song has been played on just about every instrument imaginable and sung by every imaginable combination of singers - soloists, ensembles, bands (including rock, country, pop, and blues bands) choirs, and orchestra productions.

The Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards recorded an album titled 'Amazing Grace". The bagpipe arrangement for the song went viral, pipe bands and solo pipers all over the world played it.

The lyrics (poem) have been translated into many languages and the song performed by the native speakers with their own interpretations, musical styles and traditions.

Amazing Grace is a song of redemption, it is meant for all human beings on earth, not just Americans.

something other than DEATH?

I mean, WTF? Gimme a freaking break.

These leftists, man, death is their legacy. Death is in their constitution, it's in their policies. Maybe even in their bank accounts and bathrooms.

Everywhere they look, it's DEAD! bodies all over the place. And, geez, they gotta killer now, don't they?

Covid!

"Follow the science", they say. Okay, good idea. Where the hell is it?

Ask a leftist, they have their own brand of science and this thing is an existential threat, everybody has Covid, they are infecting everybody else and we're all gonna die.

I wonder if any of them know that that's gonna eventually happen, Covid or not.


I started this thread to get out of these Democrat Memorial grave yards and talk about something with Life in it, so, to get the ball rolling, here's a couple of questions for which the answers may be surprising for some.
