The History of the Middle Finger


Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English,

proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger

it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be

incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native

English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew'

(or 'pluck yew').


Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and they began

mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying,

"See, we can still pluck yew!" Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult

consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative 'F',

and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because

of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture

is known as 'giving the bird.'


And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.


 

" During one particular rehearsal , Glenn sarcastically announced ,  '  And let's hear it now , gents  , for Fingers Felder  , singing his Number One hit , ' Hotel California ' .   Glenn then mimicked how I stepped to the microphone in my hesitant way . Everyone in the road crew and band  , even the stagehands  , was laughing .  Normally,  I would not have batted an eyelid  , but for some reason , that day I lost it completely  , instead of letting it wash over me . In fact ,  I was so angry that I followed him into the bathroom afterward ,  grabbed him , and threw him up against one of the metal partitions between the urinal and the toilet  .
    ' You ever talk to me or humilate me like that in public again  ,   Roach  ,  and I am gonna  break your fucking nose ,  '  I told him  ,  holding him by his shirt collar  , my fist balled . I was sick and tired of his abuse  ,  not only of me but many others .
    He seemed shocked  ; ' Er , no , Fingers  . I am sorry  . It was just a joke ,  man  .  Cool it  . '  he said . I somehow managed to reel myself back in  and walk away  .
    I did not know it at the time  , but this was a point of no return . "



       

" In the sound booth , the technicians feared the audience might actually hear our outbursts  , so they lowered Glenn's microphone until he had to sing . He continued to approach me after every song to rant , rave , curse  , and let me know how many songs remained before our fight .
    ' That is three more ,  pal  , ' Glenn said . ' Get Ready . '
    ' No Sweat . '
    Then we started playing ' Life in the Fast Lane  , ' and the crowd leaped to its feet . "


**************** **************** ***************** *****************

" When we came offstage  , waiting to be called back for the first encore  , I kept out of Glenn's way  . I knew if I went near him , it would only make things worse . He went over to where the other guys were standing and shouted something like  , ' That Fucking Guy !  ... That Fucking Felder ! ' I could hear him on the other side of the stage  .  "

    " Sitting on the edge of the bed while Kathrin made some coffee , I dialed his number immediately even though it was late .
    ‘ Irv , it is Don Felder  , ‘  I said  , wondering what was so urgent that he’d give me his home number  .
    ‘ Hi , Fingers  , ‘ he said  , with a sigh  . ‘ I have got some bad news  . I am afraid the guys have had a meeting  , and they have decided to go on without you .  ‘
    My entire body ran cold as his words lingered in the air  , their resonance hitting me in waves  .  ‘ W –     w – what ?  ‘ I stammered   , my mind tripping and tumbling  .
    ‘ It is nothing to do with your playing  , it is nothing to do with you  , they just think it is in the best interests of the band If they let you go  . ‘
    ‘ Oh my GOD , Irving , ‘ I said , blood rushing to my head  . ‘ They can not do this  . What do they mean ?  Why are they doing this ? What  ………. ?  ‘  But the words died on my lips  . Tears spurted from my eyes , and I started trembling all over . I felt as if I had been hit by a truck  .  
    Irving told me to calm down and try to get some sleep  , but of course I could not  . I sat up most of the night with Kathrin , writhing with anxiety  . At seven O'Clock in the morning  , I called Irving back  , hoping to catch him before he went to work , but I could not get hold of him until about three .
    ' Yup , ' he told me . ' I have spoken to them  , and they are determined to go ahead with this . They are gonna send a leter over to your attorney this afternoon , confirming that you are fired . "  


************* *************** *************** ***************

    "  I listened in disbelief  , still unable to take in what I was hearing  .  ' I just do not understand  , ' I said .  ' I thought we were meant to be in this together  . Forever  '
    ' I know . I know , ' Irving sighed  . ' But it just did not work out that way  . '
    ' Irving , ' I said breathlessly  , I will do anything  , I do not care  . Tell them there has been a misunderstanding . I signed their agreements and it is cool . I do not want to be out of the band . "
