4. Billy Jack is not dead yet
Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin) has a VERY political anti-bushco website.

12. Thanks for the link to the Billy Jack website.
I'm old enough to remember when the first Billy Jack movie came out. It's good to know Tom Laughlin is still around and still kicking ass!

8. I still sing that song at summer camp, where I'm the music director
and the kids still love it.

9. One of my most vivid childhood memories is swinging on the
playground swings with my friend Janet - singing this song over and over and over.

I am glad to hear that you still sing it with your summer camp kids.
