Thank you, Thomas. You said it much better than I could.

The problem with the "fits like a hand in a glove" approach is that hands can vary greatly. Blues guitarist Hound Dog Taylor, for example, had six fingers on his left hand. What sort of glove fit his hand? Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt played all his solos with only two fingers due to a serious injury sustained in a fire. And then there was Jeff Healey who put the guitar flat on his lap and used his hands in a manner you might expect to visually associate with a piano player. But, that's only the mechanical aspect. I'm also thinking about the lyrical content. Songs from the 1920s through 1950s were notorious for hidden meanings, double and triple entendre. Songs like Fishing Blues. Who knows how differently these songs might be interpreted a century from now?

Well, there are "live" recordings and then there are LIVE! recordings.

I've never had any friends who are Muslim. But, I have done service work in lots of homes with Muslim residents. Some are really nice, some are total byotches and some are someplace in between. Ya know? Just like any other group of people. They don't seem to live a life that is all that much different than mine except for their diet. I should probably be asking them for advice on how to eat healthier.

God only knows which box it's in down in that dark cellar

I doubt they would ever want me for lunch----unless they have some perverted fetish for truckstop food.

You can learn more about da werd of gawd by breaking bones than you can from reading Genesis! Dat's Riiiigghht!

Like it or not, our generation has grown up with a soundtrack of various and diverse music. Have you ever watched a bit on television, heard something in a conversation, read something in the newspaper and thought. "Hey!, that reminds me of (insert song of choice here)"? For example, while reading the "Bridge To Nowhere" thread, I automatically thought about the Talking Heads song Road To Nowhere. Not just the similarity in titles, but, the similarity in concepts. I feel pretty safe in assuming that the Talking Heads weren't making any sort of reference to The Way in this song. Still, in my mind, I could draw similarities and parallels. Someone involved with a decaying business venture or a sports team having a losing season might read an entirely different slant into it. So, this brings up a question about scripture. How can we be so sure we know what the original, intended message was? Maybe, like the aforementioned song, it was meant to include intentional ambiguity. Food for thought. -----and that would make it impossible to "know that you know that you know" beyond the realm of your own private understanding.

I still have a vinyl copy of Working Man's Dead. It was purchased because it included Uncle John's Band. It's only been played once. Know what I mean, Vern?

My,My,My! No one remembers EBB TIDE? FREE POST!!!

This tale of frogs in boiling water is a myth. SNOPES Nonetheless, I agree with the implied analogy. We did, indeed, become desensitized, bit by bit, until we no longer resembled who we were at the beginning of our journey into the world of TWI.

First the tide rushes in,plants a kiss on the shore,then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more.

Opening the lid on "the lock box" is not a form of bitterness.

A different kind of

"Take a whiff on me; that ain't no rose-------Come on--stink" edit: I hope that doesn't sound too "bitter".

Hey there, friendlyjoe Ya know you can step over a dead skunk and pretend it isn't there. But, it still stinks.
