i'm all over the place today...first there's this...
"Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh Hard times come again no more.
Chorus:
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.
(Chorus)
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh hard times come again no more.
(Chorus)
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh hard times come again no more.
(Chorus) "
Stephen Foster's Hard Times Come Again No More...kinda fits my mood today...
then there's this...just plain fun...
then, a story about how Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is creating new ways to connect with his fans...and possibly reinventing the business of music...lead me to this...
"Deep Media is a blog about the evolution of narrative in the Internet age"
and i can't possibly explain why this Op-Ed geeks me out...it just does...
"TODAY is an important date in the history of the Internet: the 40th anniversary of what is known as the Request for Comments. Outside the technical community, not many people know about the R.F.C.’s, but these humble documents shape the Internet’s inner workings and have played a significant role in its success."
somehow, it all seems connected...
enough...time to get out and enjoy some fresh air...
