Everyone doing the big family get together thing?.

If you call 70,000 angry drunks family, then sure. Full turkey dinner tailgate tomorrow. I'm trying the deep fry right there in the parking lot. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pics to post on Friday... if I'm not in the hospital.

Securb, I was unfamiliar with the song you posted so I turned to the fount of all knowledge....Wikipedia, and found some interesting facts.

"Run to the Hills" is Iron Maiden's sixth single and the first single from their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. It was written by Steve Harris, bassist and founder of the band.

The song itself is about the conflict between Native Americans and the invading white men. The first verse is written from the point of view of the native Cree, the second from the point of view of white soldiers, and the third from a more neutral observer point of view. It may have been inspired by the film Soldier Blue, about the massacre of a peaceful Cheyenne village by US militia.

In early 2002 "Run to the Hills" was released as a single to raise money for the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund, to help former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, who is suffering from multiple sclerosis.

It was released as a video in the early 1980s, featuring the band performing, interspersed with comical footage featuring Indians from the 1923 James Parrott film Uncovered Wagon.

Interestingly, a late '90s version removed all the old film footage and replaced it with Flash animation of Cyborg Eddie (from the Stranger in a Strange Land cover) in a sci-fi Wild West setting, animated by Camp Chaos.

White man came across the sea,
He brought us pain and misery.
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed,
He took our game for his own need.
We fought him hard, we fought him well,
Out on the plains we gave him hell.
But many came, too much for Cree,
Oh will we ever be set free?

Run to the hills - run for your lives.
Run to the hills - run for your lives.

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the red-skins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game.
Murder for freedom, the stab in the back,
Woman and children and cowards attack.

Run to the hills - run for your lives.
Run to the hills - run for your lives.

Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game.
Raping the woman and wasting the men.
The only good Indians are tame.
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold,
Enslaving the young and destroying the old.

Run to the hills - run for your lives. . ..
Run to the hills - run for your lives. . . .


I could not find the Cyborg Eddie version on YouTube, but I found two other intersting versions!!!!!
