Today is the birthday of the following people:
Lenny Bruce (1925 - 1966):
“There are never
enough 'I love you's.”
and
“The only honest art
form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it...try to fake three laughs in an
hour -- ha ha ha ha ha -- they'll take you away, man. You can't.”
and
“I am influenced by
every second of my waking hour.”
Kele Okereke (1981 - ):
"We promised the world
we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?"
Paul Simon (1941 - ):
“Some people never
say the words ‘I love you’. It’s not their style to be so bold. Some people
never say those words: ‘I love you’ But, like a child, they’re longing to be
told”
and
“And you read your
emily dickinson,
And I my robert
frost.
And we note our place
with bookmarkers
That measure what
weve lost.”
AMERICAN TUNE
Many's, the time I'v
been mistaken
And many times
confused
Yes, and often felt
forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right,
I'm all right
I'm just weary to my
bones
Still, you don't
expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from
home, so far away from home
And I don't know a
soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend
who feels at ease
I don't know a dream
that's not been shattered
or driven to its
knees
But it's all right,
it's all right
We've lived so well
so long
Still, when I think
of the road
we're traveling on
I wonder what went
wrong
I can't help it, I
wonder what went wrong
And I dreamed I was
dying
And I dreamed that my
soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down
at me
Smiled reassunngly
And I dreamed I was
flying
And high up above my
eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was
flying
We come on the ship
they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship
that sailed the moon
We come in the age's
most uncertain hour
and sing an American
tune
But it's all right,
it's all right
You can't be forever
blessed
Still, tomorrow's
going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get
some rest
That's all I'm trying
to get some rest
