Hello Matt,

>LL(> Oh, well.  Another dead singer.  Amy Winehouse.
>LL(> Deat at age 27 (same age as the late great Jim Morrison).
>LL(> So much for her European "comeback" tour.  :)

MM>British are known to be ironic with their lives and lyrics.

I am the eggman
Oh, they are the eggmen
Oh, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob

I really liked that song.
"I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles.
In the background you can hear
the crowd chanting "Smoke pot,
smoke pot, everybody smoke pot".

It's kind of a nonsense song,
written by John Lennon.  I think
he got the idea from Lewis Carroll's
"The Walrus & The Carpenter" in the
"Alice In Wonderland" book.  But
it is more than that.

Lennon was a philosopher.  As are
we all, in one way or another.
But Lennon was one of the best.
The point he is making in that
song is everyone is at one point
in their lifetime the walrus -

"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"

I even invented a tagline of the above quote that fits.

Who is the walrus?  The walrus is the leader.
Who is the eggman?  The eggman is the follower.
And goo goo g'joob is just plain undecided.
Yes, this song has all the answers.
To life, the universe, and everything.

I am the eggman, oh, they are the eggmen
Oh, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob...

--Lee
