    “It’s just so easy when your whole world fits inside of your arms,
    Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm,
    Wake up slow…
    From Jack Johnson’s “Banana Pancakes”.

    Each to his own way I'll go mine
    Best of luck with what you find
    But for your own sake remember times
    We used to know


    "We Used To Know" ~ Jethro Tull

    Still a man sees what, he wants to see, and disregards the rest. Simon and Garfunkel.

    There ya go again, quoting one of the best, but still unacknowledged, poets of the last sixty years, and one of my favorites as well. Add in Leonard Cohen and we're in business together..

    I like Leonard also, sad I only listened to a couple of his songs, until after he passed away. Also need to toss Dylan in as a true poet.

    His first 'albums' in the late '60s were some of his best work. CDs of them are available sometimes on ebay, "Songs From a Room" I highly recommend. Later he matured into more semi-religious, humanly-universal topics. Try to find some, it'll be worth it.

    As to Dylan, umm, I won't comment except, maybe 'now and then'.

    Dammit, you hit square onto another one!

    I got dumped by a girl after we'd just graduated from college. The song "Photographs and Memories" got me through the next year getting over it.

    The next year, he died in a plane crash just a few miles from where I live! He tried a few 'silly' songs, but his poetic songs showed there were more to come, what a loss.

    (As an aside, he also looked like me, big nose, big moustache.)

    If this doesn't put into words the heart of a man broken by a woman, I don't know what would.

    I listen to alot of Lenord's songs. Funny I would never listen to Hallelujah, now one of my favorites. I have mellowed with age.

    And yesterday I played "Closing Time" in my van, now lines keep running through my head. He did have a way with words.

    I highly recommend his first album "Songs From a Room"

    Just a come-on from the whores
    On Seventh Avenue
    I do declare
    There were times when I was so lonesome
    I took some comfort there
