Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac: The Autobiography | Mick Fleetwood, Anthony Bozza

#12DaysofChristmas Day 12

Mick Fleetwood is not a fictional character, but he is definitely a character. He makes the craziest faces while he is playing the drums. #twelvedrummersdrumming #ilovefleetwoodmac

@LibrarianRyan This Challenge was tough, but so fun. Thanks for doing this!

LibrarianRyan Your welcome. 6y

Reggie Have you seen the SNL skit What‘s Up With That? John Hader plays a silent Lindsay Buckingham every time they do the skit. But one time, the actual Lindsay Buckingham comes on and it‘s pretty awesome. 6y

Bookzombie @Reggie I didn‘t remember it, but I found it and it is pretty awesome. Thanks! 6y

The Boys' War: Confederate and Union Soldiers Talk About the Civil War | Jim Murphy

The Civil War was the last time that “drummer boys” were used by the US military. These boys (some as young as nine years old) communicated vital information about troop maneuvers during battle and often drew fire because of it. Pictured above is 12-year-old Johnny Clem, who earned the nickname “Johnny Shiloh” after two of his drums were shot out of his hands at the battle of Shiloh.

saresmoore Wow! 6y

LeahBergen @saresmoore Wow is right. I don‘t think my nephew at age 12 could even make his own toast. He‘s 18 now and I can‘t begin to contemplate someone so young being old enough to go to war. 💔 (edited) 6y

Cathythoughts So scarey! Those poor children 🙏 6y

drokka Look at him in his official uniform and all. Having said that, the idea of children in armies and navies always gives me indigestion. I know that historically it was part of the thing, and that children are affected by conflict even if not as combatants, but there's something so, not quite sinister; rather it affects their love mapping, and I feel like it creates these deep fissures young, where hatred becomes ingrained. I hope I'm wrong about it. 6y
