LONG TAIL

I am and have always been a worrier.  I’m told that’s a remediable fault, but I’m not sure.

I worry sometimes that I have seen the beginning and apparent ends of extended cycles, such as art movements, and that I perceive the pernicious effects of the so-called “long tail.”

I worry that in spite of everything good I know is happening now and might happen in the future, I can’t get out of my own worrying way.

Rock and Roll Heart

 

I don’t like opera and I don’t like ballet
And new wave French movies,

They just drive me away.
I guess I’m just dumb,

’Cause I knows I ain’t smart
But deep down inside,

I got a rock ’n’ roll heart.

I don’t like messages or

Something there to say,
And I wish people like that

Would just go away.
I guess that I'm dumb,

’Cause I know I’m not smart
But deep down inside,

I got a rock ’n’ roll heart.
