Rewrite is always the toughest part of the process. But, it almost always makes better songs. Think of it as a character building experience (Yes, I know. We don't need to build any more characters. we have plenty around here already :-)).

On the subject of rewrite, however, I submit the following. I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and got stuck. Part of that was because I wasn't sure where to go with it and partly because it's so preposterously Dylanesque that, at the time, it was kind of annoying.

I'm not convinced, however, that it ought to be abandoned. I'm open to suggestions on how or if this thing can be saved.

You can feel the excitement, Histrionics everywhere, Lazy folks are getting work done. Cynics transiently care.

The hyped up major benchmark Came and went but we're still here. That doesn't mean that nothing happened To the things that we've held dear.

The con artists and liars Claim they'll teach us how to fly. The simple act of walking Is too obvious to try.

There are voices in the wilderness Who song a different song. They recognize the folly of "My country right or wrong".

That's where I got stuck. Any suggestion, ideas, wisecracks?
