Thread Name: What's Sentimental and what's Sickening?
Subject: RE: What's Sentimental and what's Sickening?
Point well taken, Stewie, no argument. It's WHEN it's a power play that I really resent it, I guess because it is to my mind a debasement of things I care about preserving: authenticity, music, song, passion, the honesty of everyday life, etc. It probably deeply rattles my cage to know that such profoundly meaningful things can be calculatedly evoked, without heart.

And Don, as my grandma used to say to me, Honey you can have anything I got! At least so far as the printed word is concerned. And I loved that Jesse Fuller quote...it says it all for me.
