Reputation System Reset Pending...Dec 07

[Lisa]

The other thing is, in the scholastic world, when you publish your next "good" paper, a national holiday isn't declared, your name put on the new $100 bill, prime time tv interupted, and John Denver doesn't write a song for you.

When the Top-10 here rep you though, it's kinda close.

No but I can plaguerize (sp?) one for you to make you groan.

*Groaann ...*

Graon you say... but waht about Monty Python's
Decomposing Composers

Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shopping no more.
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.
They're decomposing composers.
There's nothing much anyone can do.
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.
Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays, no one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sound.
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.
They're decomposing composers.
There's less of them every year.
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.
Claude Achille Debussy-- Died, 1918.
Christophe Willebald Gluck-- Died, 1787.
Carl Maria von Weber-- Not at all well, 1825. Died, 1826.
Giacomo Meyerbeer-- Still alive, 1863. Not still alive, 1864.
Modeste Mussorgsky-- 1880, going to parties. No fun anymore, 1881.
Johan Nepomuk Hummel-- Chatting away nineteen to the dozen with his mates down the pub every evening, 1836. 1837, nothing.

In the mean time, the new guy's getting the feeling his money aint worth nuthin.

Opps.

I meant Elton John. Sorry. lol

anyhoo, Saaturdays the day.

John Denver nor Elton John never wrote a song about me. I want a song about me.

Seriously, this makes sense. If one person sits on the side lines for a few years in the entertainment or media business it is almost like they have to start all over with new fans, as the old ones have moved on to new people.

 

[shesulsa]

John Denver nor Elton John never wrote a song about me.

They were fools, both.

I want a song about me.

Needs work, but here's a starter:

"Rich Man" - copyright 2007, all rights reserved by G L Ketchmark

Verse 1:

You were already here when I arrived,
That bumpy start of ours was a bit contrived.
And from that locked out thread unto the end ...
Who could ever guess you'd be my friend.

Older ways bring calm, cool and peace;
Things a bigger man has found with ease.
How could my green eyes help but see
Far we are and yet, you're much like me.


Chorus:

Trolls they come and trolls they go,
Everyone thinks they're in the know;
The further I come, the more I read there's something always in stock:
I just cannot mock the man of Balintawak.

(I'll have work on the second verse a bit)
