Solid British Conservative Songwriting

To be ultra is to go beyond.

It is to attack the sceptre in the name of the throne, and the mitre in the name of the perfume; it is to cavil at the pettifog; it is to reproach the idol with idolatry; it is to insult through excess of respect; it is to expose that the Pope is not sufficiently papish, that the King is not sufficiently royal, and that the night has too much light; it is to be discontented with alabaster,with snow, with the swan and the lily in the name of whiteness; it is to be a partisan of things to the point of becoming their enemy; it is to be so strongly for, as to be against!!!

Last week the operation of my televison machine revealed to me a singing duo know as The Who.

Despite their obvious youth and inexperience, these rapscallions wisely chastized the so-called religious leaders among us for not covering their heads enough, not growing adequately-long beards, and not dressing in clothes that are purple to a sufficiently pious degree. Their wonderful song gave vigor to the conservative within me!

No doubt, religious leaders around the country are hastily growing their beards, redoubling head-covering efforts, and so forth, lest The Who be alerted to their lack of compliance!
