We all have "buttons" (interests), and they all can get "pushed."

It's just that some of us lack control and self-awareness ~ either occasionally or habitually ~ and get all worked up about certain issues, while others take it all in stride.

My favorite topics:

New Orleans, my beloved New Orleans, always before but now more than ever.
Bob Dylan
John Hurt
Ireland
blues
guitars
jazz
tablature
pacifism
political controversy, at least temporarily
fingerpicking
What is folk? (sometimes)

What doesn't get a rise out of me at all:

Morris dancing
Shatner
political correctness
Sidmouth
vegetarianism
what is folk? (usually)

No offense to those with different buttons than mine, especially about the only-in-the-UK topics, for which I have no reason to be interested. If I was over there, I'd probably love all that stuff. Or some of it anyway. Some photos I've seen recently of Morris dancing looked like Mardi Gras, which I do love.
