This included studying advanced mathematics, as cited in Karl Sabbagh’s The Riemann Hypothesis. His first interregnum, at the height of his success, was met with disbelief by booking agents. They predicted that Shaw would not only be abandoning a million-dollar enterprise but that nightclub and theater owners would sue him for breach of contract. Shaw’s offhand response was, “Tell ‘em I’m insane. A nice, young American boy walking away from a million dollars, wouldn’t you call that insane?” … and was married to Ava [ continue reading Artie Shaw – retired at 40 and burned his dots! ] If you find me I’ll be sitting by the water fountain Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown on Monday morning But it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright Cause in no time, they’ll be gone, I guess I’ll still be standing here It’s a new year, I’m glad to be here It’s a fresh spring, so let’s sing In 2080 I’ll surely be dead So don’t look ahead, ever look ahead and the moon shines bright on the water tonight so we won’t drown in the summer sound [ continue reading In 2080 I’ll surely be dead ] [ continue reading ain’t no brakeman ] “Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine Into each heart some tears must fall But some day the sun will shine Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine” I’m through with standin’ in lines to clubs I’ll never get in It’s like the bottom of the ninth and I’m never gonna win This life hasn’t turned out Quite the way I want it to be “’cause if you’re not really here then the stars don’t even matter now I’m filled to the top with fear but it’s all just a bunch of matter ’cause if you’re not really here then I don’t want to be either” Astonishing song really in this day and age, a pop song that is really a modern religious hymn that would be worthy of notice by Isaac Watts for its simple and direct themes.

There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. The honest heart that's free frae a' intended fraud or guile. However fortune kick the ba', Has ay some cause to smile.
