Live . . .

. . . recording from Bourbon Street on the Beach, July 8, 2016 by OHO. . .

Heard somebody say
They overheard you
Just the other day
A simple word
About the way we get along
If only I were sure
Of the semantics
Having doubts 'cause I'm
One hopeless romantic
Could it be
You're slipping away from me

What will I do
If what I'm thinking is true
And you want to be
Really free of me
I won't last very long
Very far from your heart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Heard somebody say
They thought they saw you
Walking in their way
You were not alone
They said he didn't look like
Thinking to myself
Must be mistaken
Try not to believe
but still badly shaken
Why would you
Deceive me in things you do

So many years
Sharing our laughter and tears
Lasted very long
Maybe I was wrong
Not to ask you
Why you feel
We've drifted apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Are my sources reliable
It could be
It could be
Is my psyche too pliable
Wait and see
Wait and see

If somebody said
Would you believe it's true
And change your direction
From spinning round
When it hits the ground
That's just not true
Any believers are few
When you've seen it all
It could never fall

Any more than
I think you could
Tear us apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Still . . .

. . . supporting??? . . .

(from http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/07/07/donald-trumps-pledge-to-defend-article-xii-of-constitution-raises-eyebrows/)
". . . At a closed-door meeting with House Republicans, Mr. Trump took a question about the U.S. Constitution. . . In attempting to demonstrate his reverence for the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Trump said that he supported not just Article I, but an Article XII as well. That caused some brows to furrow, because the U.S. Constitution has only seven articles. . . "

History . . .

. . . can teach . . .

(http://www.salon.com/2013/01/14/the_nra_once_supported_gun_control/)
". . . For nearly a century after, its founding in 1871, the National Rifle Association was among America’s foremost pro-gun control organizations. It was not until 1977 when the NRA that Americans know today emerged, after libertarians who equated owning a gun with the epitome of freedom and fomented widespread distrust against government—if not armed insurrection—emerged after staging a hostile leadership coup. . . In the years since, an NRA that once encouraged better markmanship and reasonable gun control laws gave way to an advocacy organization and political force that saw more guns as the answer to society’s worst violence, whether arming commercial airline pilots after 9/11 or teachers after the Newtown, while opposing new restrictions on gun usage.. . It is hard to believe that the NRA was committed to gun-control laws for most of the 20th century—helping to write most of the federal laws restricting gun use until the 1980s. . . “Historically, the leadership of the NRA was more open-minded about gun control than someone familiar with the modern NRA might imagine,” wrote Adam Winkler, a Second Amendment scholar at U.C.L.A. Law School, in his 2011 book, Gunfight: The Battle Over The Right To Bear Arms In America. “The Second Amendment was not nearly as central to the NRA’s identity for most of the organization’s history.”. . ."

Money . . .

. . . can't buy intelligence . . .

(from http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-megadonor-compares-trump-to-biblical-figures/ar-AAhPvV6?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp)
" . . . A multimillionaire GOP donor is comparing Donald Trump to Biblical figures like King David in an effort to woo conservatives, according to a new report. . . Mutual fund investor Foster Friess wrote a letter to supporters drawing parallels between Trump and heroes of Christianity, The Washington Examiner reported Thursday. . ."[All] throughout history, God has harnessed imperfect people to fulfill his perfect will," Friess said in his message before citing some examples. "King David sent Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, off to the front lines in hopes he would be killed so David could play cozy with the guy's wife.". . . Friess says in his letter he would advise "a principled evangelical Christian woman" to back Trump despite concerns about the businessman's moral fiber. It adds conservatives must rally around Trump following sacrifices the real estate tycoon has made for them. . ."

Miles . . .

. . . ahead of most of us . . .

I've read 'Miles: The Autobiography by Miles Davis with Quincy Troupe' and came to the conclusion that Miles was a tremendous talent, a hot-tempered, impatient man, something of a racist in word, not so much a racist in deed, a decent, caring person and, most importantly and not surprisingly, a human being.

And this, which I just found on FaceBook, reaffirms the conclusion I reached. . . and I think is, quite frankly . . . inspirational.
