The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

The Heavy, "Short Change Hero" (theme from Strike Back) via iTunes (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: I want to enjoy the lyrics of "Short Change Hero," but the verdammt triple negatives rule that right out:

"This ain't no place for no hero,
This ain't no place for no better man,
This ain't no place for no hero,
To call home…"

Properly expressed:

"This is no place for a hero,
This is no place for a better man,
This is no place for a hero
To call home…"

My objection is not purely linguistic. It is because we Americans have so often fought for the right that we as a nation have almost always been so formidable in war. As Abraham Lincoln said, "right makes might," not the other way around.

Fortunately, the catchy music remains as "Short Change Hero's" ever-so-effective joy engine.
