Hey Bob, thanks for you input. I had already expected that kind of comments. Since I am not a follower most of the time, so I am not any way influenced by the media.

By the way the good music are never too old and I do like Elvis Presley.

Regarding th video clip of Despeardo, well, it was done by a fan and the song is based on American history - nothing to do with the movie.Also Dan Fogelbeerg is way way too much talented than most of the current contemporary singers, and has for your information played all the instruments in one of his album, I know there are many older singers who has done it before.

Acknowledging  one of the best  musician to me is a great honour and Dan is one of them. I am not intersted with artistes who are good with computers and rhyming.

Here is a song the Sutters Mill was based on, the one with Desperado clip.

Sutter's Mill was a sawmill owned by 19th century pioneer John Sutter. It was located in Coloma, California, USA at the bank of the American River. Sutter's Mill is most famous for its association with the California Gold Rush. It was here that an employee of Sutter's, James Marshall, on January 25, 1848, found several flakes of gold that would begin the transformation of California from a sleepy outpost to a bustling center of activity[1]. It brought people from many different cultures to the "Golden" state. The first document on the discovery of the gold was in Henry Bigler's diary. He and several other people working at the mill were discharged veterans of the Mormon Battalion. Sutter's Mill was also used during the Bear Flag Revolt.

The site of the mill is located in Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park and is registered as California Historical Landmark #530. Sutter's Mill is a copy of the original building and looks much like it. It was built with Marshall's own drawings and an early day photo as reference for the recreation of the mill.
