Certainly not the first time it's happened here. It famously happened to the Beatles when John Lennon said what he said.

That's right - it had slipped my mind. I can see doing that for J, but for W?

Forget about the thin blue line.

It's the thin gray (matter) line that keeps our irrational behavior in check.

I was fortunate to meet and acquire along the way several learned people who became mentors to me. Each in a different way shaped me into the person I am today. One mentor had a basket full of favorite sayings. One was this....

What you do speaks so loudly that I can't hear what you say.

I like that statement.

I had to look up some of these names to find out what they did.

It's funny to me that some the people talked about are what I call questionable artists. I'm not defending anything but I think there is a difference between a Dylan and some also ran. If the bar is set to low then everyone that is on AGF is an artist.
