Every hair upon your head

Has got to be in place for the camera.

Every place you happen to be

The people stare.

Cause, you are not the main attraction.

But oh, how you wanted to be.

Don’t equate each little thing

That happened in the past to the present.

Don’t expect each person to see

The things you see.

Do you ever think of anyone else?

Does concern come crossing your mind?

There’s enough conceit under your own belt

To last a lifetime.

If your dreams should ever come true,

I’ll see that spiteful face on the cover

Of a tabloid where the headline reads,

“She wants to be . . . “

Nothing but the main attraction.

But oh, how you wanted to be.

Regarding . . .

. . . the (totally UN-musical) pandemic . . . 

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/11/arts/music/11whit.html

(from 'Afterward' [January 2021] to The Great Influenza by John M. Barry)

". . . For those who argue that what succeeded in such countries as South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan had much to do with culture and that such compliance was bound to fail in more individualistic Western countries, one should consider Australia, which as every bit as Western and individualistic a culture as the United States. At this writing, Australia has 909 deaths. The U.S. population is thirteen times that of Australia, so that would equal fewer than 12,000 deaths in the United States. At this writing the United States has nearly 400,000 deaths, is averaging over 3,000 daily, and is projected to reach 500,000 deaths on or about March 1, 2021. . . It is the same virus in both countries. Both countries have the same tools. The difference is leadership. . ."

        Black & White Then Back

Purchasing Power . . .

So I said,

I've got a roof o'er my head.

Some people can't even say the same thing.

But it's still not a fact

I can take any comfort in.

I want more to make up my legacy.

I'm not poor but everybody's telling me

Money can't buy everything.

You've heard it time again.

No money can't buy happiness.

When will you learn this fact of life my friend?

So I said,

I've got my very own bed.

I don't give it much thought

When I lay down my head.

But it's cold and it's lonely

In December on the street.

Why do you tell me these kinds of things.

I want more of luxuries that wealth can bring.

I want to be a squire a king a country gentleman

If I can if I can.

I want to get respect for what I have 

And not for what I am, 

Just a man, just a man.

So I said,

It's more than daily bread

That I'm talking about.

Can't you hear what I said?

You see, everything changes 

But we have to admit,

What exists needs to be recognized,

Not merely out of our fear of being duly chastised.

Remember . . .

You can also support the right to life, but you must support and nurture that life for its entirety or your proclamation is a mere platitude.

There Was . . .

. . . a party 

http://onthejob.45things.com/2014/01/can-better-eating-help-your-career.html

The stars lay in a blanket above.
A gentle breeze blowing in from the sea.
The last light flickers from one lonely candle.
Never before was a night half as perfect
For you and me.

But there was a party last night. 
Yes there was a party nextdoor,
‘Cause there’s a boy sleeping on the back porch.

You would have noticed a pin drop that evening.
The peace and calm when romance fills the air.
Ambience oozing from Coltrane and Hartman.
And barely twenty feet away, we’d no clue
What was happening there.

No blaring rock and roll.
No bottles on the walk.
No screaming, shouting and no fight.
Nobody called the law.
No sirens in the night.
Just one young man, stretched out on a chaise,
Sleeping it off.

Occasions such as this should be savored.
The combination of circumstance rare.
You may just be the true love that I’ve searched for.
I think though, that the folks in the house that’s next door 
Just don’t care.

Something . . .

 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/elon-musk-twitter-free-speech-1.6419523

. . . is clearly wrong when a society places an abnormally high value upon every utterance from a person who happens to have one, exceptional ability, and who has earned a great fortune as a result of it, but has few other talents within realms such as social dynamics, politics, or human nature. If such talents were within his possession, proof of same would be readily visible in the actions he takes (regarding his fortune) and in the words he speaks.
