Red sky at night, shepherd's delight.

Red sky in morning, shepherd's warning.

Brown and white sky: shepherd's pie.

"This song finds The Fixx lead singer and lyricist Cy Curnin singing about the aftermath of a nuclear fall out. In our 2012 interview with Curnin, he said that this tune, along with "Stand or Fall," echoed "back to that sense of impotence that I felt after 9/11." He explained: "I was feeling that sense of impotence back then in the early '80s or late '70s when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were getting in bed together, metaphorically speaking, and designing a whole defense system that involved Europeans' lives without asking us - it was never on any electorate ballot that I can remember. That struck a chord.""

It’s so good! Bruce Dern as the vet neighbor is hilarious. “Down in south east Asia, we’d call this kinda thing….bad karma.”

One of my all time favs! Growing up, my sisters and I watched it so much the VHS eventually was barely even playable.

My dad always said this. Must be a Marine thing. Or learned it from the Navy.

It is an old saying and generally true in the northern hemisphere where this English-language saying originated and weather patterns typically travel from west to east. Stormy skies are more red than usual at sunrise and sunset. So if I was sailing from America to England, west to east with the prevailing wind, and saw a red sunrise, a “red sky in the morning,” I could expect that storm to travel towards me and I towards it since the sun rises in the east.
