I mean,it's only a matter of time before the next Les Paul or Leon Fleisher's little finger story is on.

I figure taking Shel Silverstein lyrics seriously represents social progress.<br />alberichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852752646926946626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-23264558814058384312013-07-18T12:30:50.310-05:002013-07-18T12:30:50.310-05:00I'm old enough that I only ever heard him on t...I'm old enough that I only ever heard him on the radio.

I'm old enough to remember when it was pretty much Joe Pyne who had a monopoly on that around here. I can't believe how much liberals are like right wingers when it comes to this kind of stuff, but I stopped going you-know-where a while back.
