And now for something completely different

No, actually it is the same old, same old

First of all a quote from the Writer’s almanac today.

"So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. But to sacrifice a hair of the head of your vision, a shade of its colour, in deference to some Headmaster with a silver pot in his hand or to some professor with a measuring-rod up his sleeve, is the most abject treachery."
-- Virginia Woolf

I’m thinking if she was alive this day and age she might have used something other than sleeve but who’s to say what would of become of Virginia if she was born in the here and now.

You know what I want? I want Tom Wait’s to make a musical set in the early 50’s full of his characters. Yes, that is what I want. I want to see Peoria Johnson, Dudlow Joe, Satchel Puddin and of course Birdy Joe Hoaks. I want to follow them along a railroad track, I want to sit around a campfire with them, I want to see them break out of the jailhouse and fall in love. I want to see them lost to the drink and to their own despairs.
I think I been listening to his CD too much. I have his characters filling my head.

He always has the greatest lines but today I like this one

“The devil dances inside empty pockets”
