The Banjo

Dueling Banjos was the song in Deliverance.

True, but by shading that reference in the lesser-known name, you hide the negative aspects of the symbol, and still make your point.

I think it'd be much more appropriate to reference the song "Dueling Banjos" than to mention a movie famous for its depictions of male anal rape, especially when talking about someone else's adolescent son. Just sayin'

Southern hillbillies rape men. Quit trying to skirt around the facts.

Deliverance is one of the most offensive-to-Southerners movies ever made.

You can see the genesis of the old adage that we respect our elders. Not necessarily because they are frail or helpless, but because they are wise and see through the nonsense to that which is it most important.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

It isn't all encompassing. Some old people simply are frail and helpless....

the reference with regards to the banjo has nothing to do with the rape scene. If anything, it is a reference to inbreeding, which we all know to be rampant in the South.

It is not relevant, since the arrangement in the movie features a duel between a banjo and a guitar, not two banjos.

I've got nothing pithy to come back at you with......you're like a pool shark....eviscerating me, and when you're done, leaving me no shape.

A+!

Thank you Robin, that was a great story and I truly enjoyed seeing, reading and watching it.

Doesn't he just tick you off sometimes? He does me.

I know when I've been bested. DDD has about, oh, 100 notches in his desk-chair arm rest of besting what is happening, man; so many that he quit counting for lack of space and interest in doing so. Sometimes I sit in awe of how quick his wit is.

You are a master.

That's a touching story, RF. Thanks.

Thanks for everyone's kind remarks. I've never seen Deliverance, and don't really know what it is about, but if it features great banjo music, I'm sure it is a great way to get Little Robin inspired. I'll put it in the Netflix queue and give the boy an education he won't forget.

You're not helping, Robin.
