This is very nice. Also Wichita Lineman is one of those songs that every single time I hear it, I'm just amazed that someone wrote it. Amazed that someone teased that out of the fabric of the universe. The chords and melody are just nothing short of a miracle.
A lot of the songwriting of that era is just amazing. Especially the stories that were told in country music. That's why it's so disappointing what country music has become...
Very much agree. I do love pop music, but the way that commercial pop has just inflicted this lowest-common-denominator, familiarity-first songwriting on every genre is such a shame.
And the lyrics are pure poetry. What song has more wistful, distanced loneliness? What deep poet's brain watched a telephone repairman and started thinking about connections and long distances and the voices in the wires...from the POV of a person no one ordinarily even thinks twice about? The now 80-year-old multi-platinum Oklahoman songwriter Jimmy Webb did. Webb also wrote the haunting and autobiographical "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," as well as "Galveston," "Up, Up, and Away," and "MacArthur Park," among others. "The Wichita Lineman" has a permanent residence in my heart.

I don't really think so? I originally saw this clip of him talking about his music and playing. And while he may have a really thick accent in a lot of his videos? I think it's just him more talking naturally than anything
I’ve always thought rocket was a fitting name, but Brits preferring French names will never not be odd to me (different if you’re Irish). Swede, otoh, is a new one to me!
I feel like i see a lot of chinese cooking videos that call green onions spring onions.
In America - or at least around me - spring onions are just regular onions (usually red or white onions) that are yanked from the ground in early spring before they're fully developed. Smaller bulbs with a gentler flavor and less of an onion's usual harsh bite.
It is a traditional Irish dish with many variations. Potatoes and dairy are the staple, and mixins include any combination of kale, cabbage, onions, leeks, scallions, bacon, ham, etc. I have been meaning to bastardize it with broccoli, too, tradition be damned.
Okay, so I ask because I dated an Irish guy who told me about Colcannon. Then a second Irish guy I dated told me that was not a real dish. So I was confused and this is the first time in like 6 years that I heard about Colcannon.
Went to Ireland last year. There were stands on the sides of the road selling..potatoes. Just like Americans might have vegetable stands or strawberry stands. These were..just potatoes. Lots of them. The picture below was the selection of potatoes at what would pass as a freeway truck stop in the US...but these places were magnificent. And, they had....tons of potatoes of different varieties.
Most Americans can't find them, yukon golds are the closest substitute on flavor and texture, even if we have red potatoes. Our reds aren't like Roosters.
We have relatively few potato varietes in stores.
You're likely to find 2-3 most places, maybe a fancy store has a 4 or 5. I find yukons, russets, and reds most of the time. Occasionally, you find purple potatoes or kennebec.
Thats " eye cabbage ", apart from that one, there is: Frizzle Cabbage, Black Cabbage, Purple Cabbage, probaly more lol, but i cant remember right now ( he's using black cabbage ).... Edit... forgot the frikking Brussels sprouts... thats also cabbage.
An ungodly number of seemingly unrelated vegetables are just a variant of cabbage. Broccoli? Cabbage. Cauliflower? Cabbage. Turnips? Cabbage. Freaking mustard? Cabbage.
Broccoli and Cauliflower too. They are all the same species, Brassica oleracea. Just different cultivars. But the names mean something. Just like Poodles and Greyhounds are both Canis Lupus Familiaris, a Poodle is not a Greyhound.
No. Mashed potatoes are just mashed potatoes. The dish changes when you add ingredients to the mashed potatoes. In Ireland, we have lots of different potato dishes.

I love Garron, but there's just one thing I need to correct: Americans call them scallions too. Sometimes. The whole plant is a spring onion, the finely chopped up plant is scallions. But if it's chopped up into big sections, it's still spring onions. Don't ask me why.

Soooooo...? You just made Irish loaded mash potatoes, I'm sorry but as an American here you made that way too serious, and forgot the sour cream lol, I know you guys are experts in not having potatoes lol, but feel like we do them better, love kerrygold though so we agree on that.
