Subject: Re: Waterloo



It took a while, but I finally got around to digging out and

listening to Stonewall Jackson sing Waterloo. The pronoun

is 'his' and nothing but 'his'. Projection and revisionism :) .

Speaking of "they," I was trying to remember which pronoun occurred in the

chorus of this CW song from the late fifties (early sixties):



Waterloo, I love you.

Waterloo, whachya gonna do?

Everybody has ____ day,

Everybody has to say,

Everybody's gonna meet ______ Waterloo.



Or something like that.

I remember:



WAterloo, Waterloo,

When will you

Meet your waterloo?

Everybody has their day,

Everbody ???????? (rhyme with day)

Everybody's got to meet their Waterloo.



I didn't think you were as old as I, Wayne.
