I was chatting with an extraordinarily beautiful dancer who will remain unnamed because I like her. We usually discuss nature as I enjoy outside athletics and she in an "environmentalist". She created a lovely website and was very proud. I am not much for technology, but it was beautiful, simple and functional, until I noticed one glaring error: Her Environmental song. I had to do a double take, because I love the song: Nothing but Flowers, The Talking Heads. I asked her about it and she went over some of the beautiful lyrics. She was stunned I know every word, but not as stunned as she was when I explained she misread the song. The song is sung from the viewpoint of a man who misses the honkey tonks, dairy queens, 7/11's, cherry pies, chocolate chip cookies, highways, billboards and the smell of gas. When talking about fields and flowers the line "If this is paradise I wish I had a lawnmower" is sort of a give away. The inability of the young to grasp things is mond-boggling. video.search.yahoo.com
