Thread Name: 'All My Songs Are Serious'
Subject: RE: 'All My Songs Are Serious'
Thanks for opening up an extrordinary can of worms, alanabit! So, would you like yours stir-fried, or baked to an angel's food type texture?
I like to sing 'serious' songs, and it is my personal preference to do so...
There are a million-zillion ironic chuckles in the viewpoints presented to the passengers of the whisking away handbasket... and though I might be found laughing too, it's the serious thoughts that alter the course of things... usually... For my part, I love to laugh, but I do it in unexpected places... mostly at situations and irony... and seldom in the arms of vaudvillean rehearsal...
Humor so often seems to be a last ditch effort to tollerate the intollerable... and I'm more geared towards the curing of endemic illnesses, than to the silly aggrandizement of it's side effects...
That being said, I wonder if you could ever have thought that while I was writing this, I was stark naked and shivering... with damp hair and a soapy smell... clutching a cup of quickly cooling coffee... and laughing like my life depends on it... at how funny seriousness can be... ttr
