2月22日 Help!Help. I can't seem to remember the word STIMULUS program. I keep thinking
the right word is RESURRECTION or maybe RESCUE. I'm having a Freudian collapse.
Oh that's it. COLLAPSE. What is it, really? The Collapse Program? 2月20日 Remember when songs had words and tunes?Whiffenpoofs is a beautiful tune and it's so sad. Some day all of us will
be dead and gone and we want to cry about that. In college I learned a lot of
songs that friends and I used to sing. Old folk tunes, college songs. Old
Wabash and Alma Mater were REQUIRED to sing on the Chapel steps with the other
freshmen or you got a paddling. I just called them drinking songs for the fun of
it. Listen to the actual words . The next genre that interested me was protest
songs during the Viet Nam War. I used to collect every one I could identify.
Like Tom Lehrer, Woodie and Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Peter Paul and Mary. You
can see what's going on in the culture by the songs. Bobbie and I have been
watching Instant Netflix history of musicals. You can learn about WWI, the
twenties, and the Depression from these. But I don't know about songs nowadays
because they yell and jump around a lot and play their instruments at 120
decibels out of tune and I never hear the words anymore. In the old days you
could hear words.
