Bob Dylan: Rank Strangers To Me (Albert E. Brumley)
I wandered again
To my home in the mountains
Where in youth’s early dawn

I look for my friends,
But I never could find ’em.
I found they were all
Rank strangers to me.–
Albert E. Brumley

Happy 76th Birthday Bill Withers
I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you.
~Bill WithersAin’t no sunshine when she’s gone, It’s not warm when she’s away, Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, And she’s always gone too long, Anytime she goes away.
