Ron Davies Lyr Add: Easter Parade (Irving Berlin) (35) RE: Lyr Add: Easter Parade (Irving Berlin) 06 Aug 13


Well done, MGM. ( Are you in technicolor or just black and white?)

We, the mediocre and complacently uninformed, will always need your services.

The problem is:   it's sometimes a lot of fun to be complacently uninformed, and/or to twist words a bit for humorous effect.   Even though senses of humor vary from person to person . And, as I recall, Americans are famous for thinking that a pudding crawling is hilarious. While others may differ on this point.

For instance, just recently I came up (with some assistance) with the idea that the reason St. Paul was chased out of quite a few places, like Corinth and Ephesus,   was that when singing a song, when he ran out of words he tended to lapse into na-na-na. And his listeners got very tired of this.   I found this picture perfectly delightful.   And I'm not overly bothered by the theological accuracy--or lack thereof--of it.

But there's also this:    I know somebody quite well whose dial is always set on "outrage".    I always tell her:    you can look for outrage everywhere--and find it.   Or you can look for humor everywhere---and find it.   Now, which is healthier?

Sure, there are some topics which should be taken seriously.

But they are in the distinct minority.
