TOPIC: Rock N' Roll

Very nice. I have such a horrible memory for lines. I hum or whistle along

Um, because you don't get enough sleep...??

Hmm, that might be it!!! Good night!

From the Moody Blues  In The Beginning

[ First Man: ] I think, I
think I am, therefore I
am, I think.

[ Establishment: ] Of
course you are my bright
little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your
forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

[ First Man: ] I'm more
than that, I know I
am, at least, I think
I must be.

[ Inner Man: ] There you
go man, keep as cool as
you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

Boy, to paraphrase those lines from the Stones that I quoted earlier from the song "Start Me Up", some of those words could --

"Make a grown [home inspector] cry..."! 

Words like miles, and files, and piles, and trials - yikes!!  I like the smiles and the great computer though!  Keeps us thinking free...

David - I love the Moody Blues!  Here's my favorite poem in all of their songs.  It comes at the end of "Nights in White Satin":

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is gray and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?"

Da Moody Blues
