Alpo Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 I don't know. That was a cut and paste. I didn't type it. Just went and looked. Deified is what it says on the site. Of course otto might have been there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding has always been that which WJ clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Jackson Turner Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 The Ploughboys end "Wild Colonial Boy" with these verses: "Come all of you Australians And Irish, and Americans, too You have no rights that your government Would not gladly strip from you So remember Jack, and Ned Kelly, too If your freedoms, you enjoy Never fear to fight for them, Like the Wild Colonial Boy."

While you are listing murdering little bastages, don't forget John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde. They also became folk heroes. Because "folk" are stupid.
