Public information films

I think I'm emotionally scarred or summat - I heard that song "the cat's in the cradle" yesterday on the radio and had that feeling like someone's walking over your grave; then this morning on the way into work, they played "Turn, turn" by The Byrds.

Shivers down the spine again.

Did you's get those films here in the South in the '80s and '90s ? They showed them on UTV back home along as soundtracks for films depicting terrorists going into bars and shooting people - at about the time Greysteel, the Devenish Arms etc pub attacks were happening. The one with "cat's in the cradle" shows a child growing up - his dad is a terrorist in the '70s, then at the end it you see the son in his 20's lying in a coffin after he as a terrorist shoots up the people in the bar and the father at the funeral. The song goes "he'd turned out just like me, my boy was just like me".

Chilling stuff.

I always laugh at "wouldn't it be great if it could be like this all the time" tho

Sleepy

I remember that from somewhere in the dark, dank recesses of my mind...
