They just don't make 'em like this anymore.  Best t.v. show of all time. Ever !!!  The Michael Jordan of t.v. shows!!!

Antigen:
I used to play the theme song on the piano. Looking for a good rip now cause I need to hear it. Thanks.

In early mourning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The ___ that are withheld from me
I realize and I can see
[flourish of trumpets, jarringly triumphant and mocking positive for the content (like John Hookers "The Hook)]

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

There's more I can't recall... But I can remember how it sounded on that upright piano w/ a rinky-tink in the Florida room in my house in Pompano and why I wanted to play it. I was stone cold in love with Captn Pierce and the actor and playwrite who invented him.

Laughed out loud when I heard of the fucking sheer audacity and stupidity of Straight staff handlers for inviting a cast member, forget the name, to try and get an endorsement! Fuck! Overplayed their hand, just a tad? Ok.

 But I love this song, loved it then. Not just cause it drove my mother nuts to hear it instead of the "praise the lord" gospel she thought she was paying to have me learn, but also because of what it meant to me personally.

MASH saved my life by making light of all the good and valid reasons why a precocious 12yo would want to do herself in and demonstrating that a determined individual could turn just such a tragic scape into big bucks at the box office at best or, at the least, solidarity for some future hopeless 12yo.

Thanks.

So did you put these words to the MASH theme song?

Antigen:
Nope, that's the way the writer wrote it.

You know how people have "comfort food"?

M*A*S*H is my "comfort show". I can watch it over and over and over again, even if I have seen each episode a million times. Altman's movie is brilliant as well. I've never read the book, however. The guy wrote sequels, where Hawk and Trapper are in private practice in the states, and become very conservative.
