FOOLS IN FASHION
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1981
---------------------------------------------
He's so sophisticated
In a critic's eye
He needs a change of habit
But then so do I
He's all Zefferelli
In cool loose clothes
He needs to be rewired
He's plugged on overload
So crisp and new
Well it had to be
I guess he needs a change
From the likes of me
If he should lose some color
When he leaves the sun
I'm sure a little Braggi
Wouldn't hurt no one
'Cause when the fool's in fashion
He's attracting everyone
He'll be the head of your list
He'll be your dinner guest
If he's the center of attention
Looks like the fool's in fashion
You had your pound of flesh
You got the driver's seat
Well you can keep the car
But I'd like the meat
'Cause there must be plenty
Down in the cutting room
It's so tough to suffer
When you want the moon
Hopefully, this'll be the first of my "Fool Me" series. Probably just fooling myself... I have no follow through.
i've become somewhat of a recluse these days. when friends do see me, they ask: "how are you?" but before i say a word, they quickly follow with "you look good, you look good!"
on the one hand, i know this is meant to cheer me up; it's a way for them to express care, offer a little bit of tlc by way of complimenting my appearance.
on the other hand:
... what a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away
what seems to be, is always better than nothing ...
i know they just don't want to know what's really going on, let alone believe i'm anything other than "lookin' good"!
don't get me wrong, i never intend to put up any sort of false front. my masks are flimsy, sometimes for whimsy, rarely for deception or protection. but if i wear them, all too often it's more for the sake of others, not my own.
i don't feel like i'm making sense; i'm confused; a genuine smile, and yet i was feeling so sad, angry, lost, frustrated, scared.
you know, i think i took these shots just because i had some free time, and i liked the way my hair looked. how feeble, how sorry is that?
Did anyone else have fun with Flickr's little trick today? I probably spent way too much time fooling around with it. This is one of my favorite results. I posted more at on my blog .

That foolish pelican trying to swallow the fish mailbox whole - looks like you are 'stuck' with it! :) 3rd Ave N & Gulfshore Blvd, Naples, FL
April 2014 Scavenger Hunt (1. Fool) Since April is also Poetry Month, this 'poem' accompanies the image:
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week,
But I'm damned if I see how the helican.

Billy Varnes supplies the hot licks when Alberta Bound plays on the Mill Stage at Epcot's Canada pavilion. His skill is impressive and it's well worth the time and effort to seek him out wherever he is playing.
