Too much head is no good.
The Bar Song
I never really wanted to be at that bar in the first place!
party all day.
I pick up women, I
drink my beer,
I go to the bar again.
On Wednesday I go bar
hoppin'
And end up at Rick's
again.
Leaping from bar to bar!
As I roam down the streets of Lawrence!
I wanted...I wanted to be at Rick's.

We'd sing! Sing! Sing!
Oh, I'm a college man
and I'm okay.

NEW YORK — History buff Mike Ventura's family didn't pay much attention to his weekend hobby of dressing up in a Civil War uniform and re-enacting 140-year-old battles — until they saw a television documentary on the subject.
War re-enactors boycott channel
Stung by her words as well as the program, Ventura and many of his fellow weekend warriors are calling for a boycott of The History Channel because of the way their hobby was portrayed in *The Unfinished Civil War*.
"My daughter called me up the next day and said, 'Gee, I didn't know you and your friends were so racist,'" said Ventura, who runs his own marketing firm in Atlanta.
Producer Glenn Kirschbaum, of Greystone Communications, said he set out to make a film about the tight knit re-enactment community.
The skirmish ultimately supports the filmmaker's central point: that the Civil War is still the source of conflict generations after its end.
But after he met John Krausse, a colorful Confederate re-enactor who was also active in the unsuccessful fight to keep the Confederate flag flying in the South Carolina Capitol, the project took a different turn.
Kirschbaum used the re-enactments as a starting point to talk about present-day controversies, particularly the flag fight and a debate about a Robert E. Lee mural in Richmond, Va.
He had waded into roiling waters. Some Civil War re-enactors were already touchy about flag supporters who wore Confederate uniforms during demonstrations in South Carolina, feeling that re-enactors were being wrongly associated with a political cause.
Kirschbaum feels blindsided by the controversy.
"We really wanted to do a positive film that would encourage people to talk," the producer said. "Instead, we're being slammed."
Kirschbaum said he didn't believe that most people who saw the film considered the hobbyists to be racists. The History Channel believes no apology is necessary, said Abbe Raven, the network's vice president and general manager. There are no further plans to air The Unfinished Civil War, which aired Feb. 19 and was shown one other time, but that has nothing to do with the boycotters' demand that it be permanently shelved, she said.
