Are Two . . .

. . . ALWAYS better than one?


(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/h/hypocrisy_quotes.html#oOoL0Dtjk21AcqkT.99)
"Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins."
RALPH WALDO EMERSON

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true."
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE

"Whenever a man undergoes a considerable change, in consequence of being observed by others, whenever he assumes another gait, another language, than what he had before he thought himself observed, be advised to guard yourself against him."
JOHANN CASPAR LAVATER

"A man is a hypocrite only when he affects to take a delight in what he does not feel, not because he takes a perverse delight in opposite things."
WILLIAM HAZLITT

"For neither man nor angel can discern
Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks
Invisible, except to God alone."
JOHN MILTON

The Story . . .

. . . continues . . .


Question:  Sorry again for the long delay. Do you have a proposal drafted up that we would be able to review? After talking with my boss, the concerns would be from the promotional material, logo usage, etc. If you have a document going through all the requests and stipulations, would you be able to send that over?


Answer: The only proposal I can give you is the summary that I have already submitted. There is nothing complicated here.

This is a celebration of local musicians singing about their local environment.  Period.

I don’t understand concerns about promotional material, logo usage (you say etc. but if there is an “etc” could you please be specific.)

The CD will be promoted on cdbaby.com and on www.ohomusic.com described as above. Nothing more.

There will be NO LOGO usage. There need not be.

We have borrowed the basic melody of the fight song.  NOTHING MORE.

The rest of the fight song is poetic license.  Essentially jazz improvisation on chord substitutions for the basic, military march chords of the original.

Regarding ‘requests and stipulations’, I have stated our request.  We would like to purchase the mechanical rights, meaning, 'the right to reproduce a piece of music onto CDs, records or tapes.' Nothing more.

Please, if this is not clear, call me (or have your boss call).  I would be happy to speak with both (or either) of you.

Could Be . . .

(from http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/3256248-155/letter-gop-far-right-is-a)
". . . some mainstream Republicans have adopted the idiocy of the following scenarios: President Obama is a Kenyan and wants to seize the weapons of all Americans, Common Core is a secret plot to promote homosexuality and communism, military exercises in Texas were actually the first step to imposing martial law. . . "

Confused . . .

“I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”
― Stephen Chbosky

“I am tired of people saying that poor character is the only reason people do wrong things. Actually, circumstances cause people to act a certain way. It's from those circumstances that a person's attitude is affected followed by weakening of character. Not the reverse. If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others and judging their lives as either black or white, good or bad. We all live our lives in shades of gray.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“When you don't know where to start,
just go to a place you miss so much.”
― Toba Beta

“I just want to be someone, to mean something to anyone…”
― Charlotte Eriksson

“After a long silence, Dodge cleared his throat. "I think I speak for all of us when I say, 'Huh?hat”
― Frank Beddor

“sometime hate is just confused love!”
― Omar Tyree

“I freely admit I'm confused. I'm a confused and troubled individual but at the same time...Its Free! ”
― Craig Ferguson

“I do not understand this analogy," Mencheres muttered.”
― Jeaniene Frost

“I've never been lost, but I was mighty turned around for three days once.”
― Daniel Boone

“It’s really very difficult to understand a woman – actually it’s not she but he who is confused”
― Amit Abraham

Maybe . . .

. . . we're mistaken about the meaning of the word. . . success . . .


Success
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Boxes . . .

. . . we know and love . . .


Philadelphia
At all intersections designated by ordinance as “Don’t Block The Box”
intersections, the Department shall, at the discretion of the Street Commissioner, paint
stripes on the cartway indicating the area of the intersection into which a vehicle should
not enter unless there is sufficient space beyond such area to accommodate the vehicle
without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians.

Pandora
The "box" was actually a large jar given to Pandora which contained all the evils of the world.

Forest Gump
My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Thinking
One of the earliest citations  comes from the weekly magazine of the US aviation industry - Aviation Week & Space Technology, July 1975, "We must step back and see if the solutions to our problems lie outside the box." The 'box', with its implication of rigidity and squareness, symbolises constrained and unimaginative thinking.
