  2. I eat a banana and apple every day with lunch.

    Ladies and Gentlemen. Please welcome, Harry Chapin….

    He was a young driver,
    Just out on his second job.
    And he was carrying the next day’s pasty fruits

  4. I wonder about the tears in children’s eyes,

    And I wonder about the soldier that dies,

    I wonder will this hatred ever end,

    I wonder and worry my friend…

    (Sixto) Rodriguez released a couple of albums when he was a young man, but they never took hold in the U.S., so he gave up on his music career and worked as a laborer for decades. Meanwhile, one of his albums had made its way to South Africa and his music was loved for years. He was assumed to be dead, but still, Rodriguez was worshipped and he was South Africa’s Elvis. Only in recent years did Rodriguez and South Africa find each other and he is back playing his wonderful music again. His story is both heartwarming and painful. There is a documentary about his story which is excellent. Rodriguez has been called the Hispanic Bob Dylan.

  5. …also – maybe not to theme & it’s Eric that sings it…& he hadn’t been himself in some time on account of a nastier than usual form of aphasic dementia…but damn it all Terry Jones brought us so many reasons to be cheerful it feels almost disrespectful to be sad on his account
