THE NAKED APE GETS DRESSED. For those who strive for better things and who understand, as did Ben Jonson, that: "the pipe marks the point at which the orang-utan ends and man begins". - And those who understand S T Coleridge's: "While Fate tramples on things of beauty, the indignant human heart shall utter them."
Not pleased to see this ugly face on your blog.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't mention him first but we do need to be reminded of how things might become. He is the lead singer in a famous - and tremendously successful - modern band! His influence is considerable and it might be that generations yet unborn will see him as a tmeplate for lifestyle.

That is the only reaon that he is here. But let him stay - and recover.
