Posted by Jim Benz on 07/26/12 at 05:11 PM I can relate. Thank you for the knowing chuckle George. Because even in the "desolation of silence" (or while being cited for a traffic violation) we can still chuckle at the absurdity of it all. |

Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/02/12 at 02:43 PM This piece, especially that second to last stanza tickles that little place in me where I identify with artists and deviants - maybe not in equal measure. Thanks for lightening and lighting me up, George. |
Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 08/06/12 at 12:43 PM Andy Warhol said that one day each of us will be famous for fifteen minutes. I think one day we will be listened to for at least as long, that is if by then we still have anything left to say or worth the listening to. And this, George is as lovely a song as there is to give heed to. |
