I find that I have had many heros in my life. Both the realistic kind and the fantasy kind. The only real heros that I ever had that never let me down was my late lamented father and my dog Schooner. Schooner was Body of Iron and brains of oatmeal but true blue and dependable. Dad was the best friend and font of wisdom any boy need and ignore till it was almost too late and then realize what a true jewel a Dad could be.

Musically my idols were Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Gordon Bok, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, Malvina Reynolds, Roy Orbison, John Sebastian. many I have meet and not been disappointed. Some I've meet and found them lacking. Some I've never meet and still hold what I know of them in high regard.

I think we need heros but it may be best if we don't meet them.
