Don't be silly, Ham...an idiot can easily confuse such things. ;-D And we are all idiots about some things, in my experience. Therefore smart people can also confuse things.

Martin, by the way, is capable of showing more than one face. He's not stupid either. I know this from having had many interesting conversations with him from time to time.

But the topical songwriter thing? Again???????? After all this time? You must be joking. Only extreme malice or encroaching mental illness could drive a person to indulge in such a petty hanging onto ancient past grievances as you are displaying, especially such very trivial ones. Why don't you just forgive, and move on? You can live easily without this forum. I'm sure you'd be happier if you did. After all, none of us is perfect, not you or me. We have all made sloppy and careless statements from time to time. We have all fallen short of total brilliance. I don't give a tinker's damn about my topical songwriting status in the field of protest music. It simply does not matter to me. It may have mattered once, but it doesn't now. Times have changed. So why should it matter to you?

Let go of the past, Ham. It isn't real any more. It's gone, deceased, defunct, dead, perished, extinct. "If its feet hadn't been nailed to the perch it would be pushing up daisies." Move on.
