Does any one here have any love for the Whale Song?

I love that they cared enough to make a song like that. Lovely message, with lots of respect.
"What you don't see is because of your sight."

There are many instances of whales "fighting back" or on some occasions just attacking ships for no reason. Although after being hunted the way they have, I guess even if one particular ship doesn't provoke that whale there is a "reason" behind it, so I don't blame them too much. The most famous whale attack was the attack on the Essex, an incident that turned several of the survivors into cannibals during the ordeal afterwards, and it was the incident that inspired Moby Dick. The Essex wasn't exactly minding its own business though, as they were hunting a pod of sperm whales.

So when I've heard the line "They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Beings that love are too proud." it always struck me as kind of strange. I get what Jack was trying to say though, and his heart was in the right place.

Ha, yeah sure....The time and place to play it was when Ed said OTOTO at the Hartford Civic Center last year (former home of the Whalers, current home the of CT Whale), as they once played Rats for the River Rats in Albany.

"Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime."
