Martin Gibson---Bless you. My sentiments exactly ---talented and greatly overated. I cannot believe that there is now a book by an esteemed professor that analyzes his works on a par with Shakespeare and Keats among others.

As to religion, mentioned by other posters; not being religious myself I don't, like dear Bob, wrap myself in the flavor of the day or the mood I am in at the time. I like that line one of you used---born again toilet paper. Great bit of humor.

Now I must go to my black board and scratch my nails on it so I too can sound like Bobby Dylan----which, by the way, is a great Eric Bogle line (having nothing to do with blackboards and scratching--rather getting sex in a motel).
