My Captivity By Savages

[Eric James]

I'm a fan of Rasputina, and was doubly delighted to view this video to their music about a white girl captured by the Sioux. So well done!

 Eric.

   Ms. Creagar's and associates work is always artistic and carefully,often playfully conceived,but I have to say that the southern accent she contrived to use was rather overdrawn like a high school drama club girl from up north  doing Blanche Dubois in Streetcar Named Desire!Otherwise it was very enjoyable.When doing southern accents a little goes a long ways.

50 views and you are the first to comment, Anthony. You're right. This isn't perfection. What jumped out at me is the dress scissors. For me, I live among Southern accents like hers. And thicker than that, too. Just yesterday I was discussing with an attorney about Southerners who speak with accents so thick, you think it's some other language. I still find the video and its O'Henry ending very charming for the subject matter.

  Nah Eric,

     I wasn't talking about the thickness of the accent but rather that it just didn't

"ring" quite true.I and most of my folks are southern and i've experienced quite a variety of accents down there.Heck,I dated a girl from Georgia who had an accent so big and thick that she had to tote it around in a wheelbarrow!Wes Studi is a fine musician in his own right and has a great sense of humor.I can well imagine that he got quite a chuckle out of this video.
