A lament for the unborn coming into a world full of peril.
About Ritalin Boy
In the slums of Victorian England, drunken debauchery ran rampant. The temperance movement, led by the newly formed Salvation Army, sought to end drunkenness forever, going into pubs and brothels to save sinners from a life wasted on wine, women and song.
They were, not surprisingly, met with stiff resistance – brave, inebriated souls rose up against these prohibitionist party-poopers. Wearing uniforms adorned with rat-skins and flying a skull & bones flag, they sang naughty sea-shanties, made obscene gestures, smashed stuff up, and fought for their right to PARTY!
They called themselves “The Skeleton Army“.
Their battle continues today. A great victory was won in Canada on October 17, 2018 – Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth gave her Royal Assent, and cannabis became legal in Canada again, after a century of buzz-killing prohibition.
This song and video are a thank you to Liz, on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee.
You rock Liz. God Save the Queen. We mean it man!
This was but one small victory in a long war – a war that continues. Brave, buzzed, soldiers are needed to carry the flag into battle.
