1. Having come of age w/The Beatles,

Lennon greatly influenced me. He could be a bit over the top but, after all, he did have some license wot.

I hope to see his "if you want it" get the traction it deserved, then and now (and beyond).

Great photo, too - thanks.

3. A nice song for retirement or taking a sabbatical

". . .surely your not happy now you no longer play the game. . ."

". . .don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball. . ."

". . .No longer riding on the merry-go-round. . .I just had to let it go. . ."

4. A long time ago I decided that I wasn't into the rat race game.

I saw too many people compromise their principles to get ahead.

5. What's strange is that Nixon and Strom thurmond tried to have him deported for his anti vietnam..

war protest. If they succeeded, his life might have been saved.

6. Sean thinks that Chapman

didn't act alone - though don't have attribution for that.

7. Thanks for the visit, to a slack enhanced time. Hobbit

This one and "Whatever gets you through the night s alright, alright" Thanks J. Lennon
Definitely, helped me through some mud holes. Its hard to maintain Integrity.

I didn't mind, if they groomed me for success, or if they said, that I was just a fool.
Well I left there in the morning, with their God tucked underneath my arm, their
half-assed smiles and their book of rules. I don't believe you, you've got the whole
damn thing all wrong, He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sunday.
Jethro Tull
And thanks to Ian A. and the Tull people.
