I tried to do the Music-Meme that Borepatch tagged on me, and wound up only half-way or so, crawling through fragrant dumpsters of swoon, looking for a harpoon or a boomstick. <BR/>That old yellow-brick road is fingernails on a blackboard if you look too close.NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-27575026902383650602009-01-15T09:57:00.000-05:002009-01-15T09:57:00.000-05:00Robert Smith aged badly.
