Today I’ve added two song lyrics to my Poems page. I’ve also updated six more of the ones already on the page to include the YouTube videos. | |
The additions are: “Lydia – The Tattooed Lady” and “People Got To Be Free“. The performances are by Groucho Marx, and The Young Rascals, respectively. | |
Both of these songs are songs which just popped into my head when I woke up and stuck there for the rest of the day. Both are from my earlier years – the first (“Lydia“) before I understood the “implications” of being a female in the circus and “tattooed”. While humorously presented, it has a quite serious side. | |
The second song is from one of my all time favorite groups as an early youth: “The Young Rascals“, later shortened to just “The Rascals“. These guys had a string of hits, and this is one of my favorites. I’m sure there will be more to come… | |
My favorite lines are: | |
“Ask me my opinion, | |
My opinion will be | |
It’s a natural situation | |
For a man to be free“ | |
The six updates are: | |
I Am A Rock | |
Like A Rock | |
I Hope You Dance | |
She’s Gone | |
Like A Rolling Stone | |
I’m A Believer | |
If you don’t know these songs or haven’t read the lyrics lately, you owe it to yourself to check them out. Then you can drop down to the bottom of the page to enjoy the performance. | |
As always, read the lyrics, enjoy the performances, then go support these artists or the artists of your choice. Participate in supporting the Arts locally! Keep Art alive in your community! | |

The Object Of Instruction

It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently, and an overloaded curriculum is useless. The object of instruction is not to produce technicians, but good active minds. | |
