Your channel ROCKS!!!!! I haven't heard Timothy in so long. Maybe that was a good thing, but it's too late. I'm singing it again. I have watched several songs on here that I really enjoy, but haven't heard in a while. I sent you a friend invitation. I hope you accept. You are always welcome to visit my page and post comments and share vids.

It appears the mule story did fool some people. Bettyboop514, for example. Is she serious?

Dear Professor,

Loved your "Timothy" montage. It was certainly a glitch in the typical topics covered by song writers of the time. It could possibly have been responsible for the glitz era of disco - the horror needed to be overcome.

I really love the song timothy but many of the comments refered to Timothy as a human being. He wasn't a miner but rather the mule the miners used to carry there load. The band was really adamant about clearing up this cannabalism thing and here we go again with the myth.
