The Pogues

 "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane" - Marcus Aurelius

A very appropriate quote for the times...

A couple of years ago, I requested this album for Christmas and received it. 

I promptly ripped the CD and added it to the 4000 or so songs on the thumb drive in my car.  Every once in a while one of the songs comes around on shuffle.  This morning on the way home from work, one song came up that I had not heard before, and it really touched me.  It's the last song on the track listing.

"Waltzing Matilda" is Australian slang for going on a walkabout with a pack slung over your shoulder.
