I was always an awkward kid. Never grew out of it. Not much at parties or groups of people. Learning about yourself from others can be treacherous, so I often trust strangers. My life has been filled with music and melodies, but the answers are still beyond me.

A song about the choices we are given in life. For some, a few keep accelerating, knowing the traffic light is red. You friendly suggest they should slow down and they treat you like a lunatic. They make their decisions and choices without regard for the consequences. They leave it there for someone else to fix or clean up when it is too late for them to stop. A sure cure for arrogance.

man truly was made in the image and likeness of god – – – – – we were all doomed from the start.

Another set of lyrics about my wife’s unpleasant personality traits. All so well hidden until the closets are full and nowhere to stuff all the garbage. Eventually it all falls out in the open. The bitterness remains.

Talking to a coworker laying down tracks,
Says he doesn’t need all of them facts.
He started yelling, then looked at me and spat
When he couldn’t convince me the world was flat.
Only A Fool
Only A Fool would still say that.
During mass I overheard someone at church:
‘Mankind was placed on the highest perch.
The Earth is no more than a few thousand years old
Evolution is all garbage so I’ve been told’.
Only A Fool
Only A Fool could believe that.
It’s something ‘Only A Fool’ says these days.
But they keep reading it in that book.
If you want to know where the fool is
Give it another look.
The sun races across the sky every day.
Hard to view it any other way.
So easy to believe you are the center.
Hard to leave it behind once you enter.
Only A Fool
Only A Fool would repeat that
The first time I heard it, it caught my breath;
If your wife commits adultery, stone her to death.
Want to hear what I believe to be truth?
Faith is believing in fairy tales without any proof.
It’s something ‘Only A Fool’ says these days.
But they keep reading it in that book.
If you want to know where the fool is
Give it another look.

Lots of things happened in 1981 evidently. Another song from that time and this one is based on a romanticized minor traffic accident of all things. I really did run into the car in front of me on the Arlington Heights exit, but there was no attractive woman in sight! ACD stood for Assured Clear Distance back then.
