Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

Good to see the youth of Cardigan rising up. Reminds me of the good old days (words courtesy of Bob Dylan, named of course after Wales' own poet Dylan):

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.


This comes from the august journal that is the Tivy-Side Advertiser:

"The Big Art project could be the best thing that's ever happened to Cardigan - that's the view of younger people in the town it was claimed this week.

After months of negative comments about the £600,000 project, younger people are now coming forward to voice their support.

This comes in the wake of warnings that the project will fail if it does not get the backing of the community.

"Big Art is a fantastic idea and something that will bring tourists and customers into Cardigan," said 22-year-old Liz Greenhalgh, who will be taking over a town shop in the next few months.

"It's far better that the money is invested in our town rather than any other. I'm all for it - and so are a lot of young people."

Liz's views were backed up by artist Rowan O'Neill, 31, who wants to use Rafael Lozano Hemmer's floating buoys to create her own project."
