Gimme a "G" - #1395

Aqueductoral detail on one of the 9 carved stone cubes spelling out Johannes' name on the horizontal surface in front of the Gutenberg Museum.

Why do they always remind me of Country Joe and the Fish at Woodstock....?


(The song's as topical today as it was in 1969 - "Iraq" and "Afghanistan" don't rhyme nor fit the meter quite as well as "Vietnam", though....)

I was a real hit in my American Lit classroom during a Vietnam unit when I played war protest songs among which was...you guessed it. No wonder that one of my colleagues told me, "I'm amazed at what you get away with..." Someone should have told her not to end a sentence with a preposition.
