I'm feeling better, thanks for asking Lori.

One of my favorite Huey Lewis songs is "Bad is Bad". Hardly ever heard it played on the radio,

There you are my dear.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow, that's impressive, but I'm still waiting for my card though, LOL.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! Thank you, music lady!! :-)

[Mama_Bear]

I love the poem you added to that graphic, Bob. Very nice, as always!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hahaha, you're welcome.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Up to you. I like them both. Use both if you like.

[Victoria Delsoul]

OK, this song is dedicated to, Bob.

Hope you like it.

See so what's all the fuss.

[Darksheare]

Dunno.
Some tend to read more into some things than is actually there.
Of course, there are some who get subtlety but fail to recognise the obvious.
(Experienced a conversation of a sort with such a person yesterday on a thread. Ugh.)

Some people have more time on their hands than they should be granted and thus nitpick poetry to death for hidden meaning.
*chuckle*

Speaking of "Bob", Leanin' On My Dream by Bob Seger:

I was walkin to the corner drug store
and what should I happen to see
there were picket lines
and the people were a shoutin'
"Down with democracy"

as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said "buddy where do you stand"?
I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend
and you best let go of my hand"
as I walked away on a sunny day, I swear I heard him scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"Hey man you're leanin on my dream"

Got home and turned on the tv set
and sat me down to eat
and a man came on

talkin' bout the coppers
they were blockin' off another street
Seems some folks was raisin' cain
and a riot had broke out

and they flashed the camera on the guy who had stopped me
I watched him runnin' about
as the cops were draggin him away
I heard one of 'em scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"these kids are leanin' on my dream"

oh yeah

well I got up and turned off the tv set
and to tell you I was feelin' mean
an I thought a while
tryin to make some sense
out of everything that I have seen

I was addin' the score when there's a knock on the door
was a letter addressed to me
It read "greetings from the president, united states"
I fell down on my knees

The next day I was on the picket line
and Lord you should have heard me scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"hey man you're leanin' on my dream"
If you have this song, it would be neat to play it here in pot-pour-ie (I can't spelll too good)

Amy, thanks for the pings, I'll get back to ya later...nice blackstone and shaw thingie last nite...

[Victoria Delsoul]
