Who knew NYC Detective Lenny Briscoe moonlighted on off-Broadway as El Gallo? Or that a Chipmunks-like version of a Bobby Vinton song I first heard while hospitalized for pneumonia would provide background for a hip-hop artist’s lament. Or that a book like Anne of Green Gables would still carry so much truth, with or without the movie?

Hi Paul wow 😮 an entire play list! I would love to have that soundtrack! Not sure if you remember Debbie Reynolds singing Tammy? The song topped the charts during the great flu epidemic of 57-58 and in early 58 I was 15 and very sick in bed like a lots of kids. and my fave song was Tammy

You remember very well, but why so many repetitions about Hegel, for example? And so many different topics and eras in the same text? I am lost.

Hi Larisa thank you for your Like and your kind comment. Paul Wittenberger reminded me that I am truly lost also. I failed to realize that one of my favourite songs of the 60s had been transformed into one of my favourite songs of the 2010s! Foolish me! And the poem meant to express my frustration at my own project on Hegel. It’s almost thirty years since I published my last book and I am still dawdling in finishing my current one! Try to remember!
