County Fair
It's riffmaster Joe Walsh's 70th birthday today! We've written before of his approach to metaphysics which is reprised here:
You know, there’s a philosopher who says, “As you live your life, it
appears to be anarchy and chaos, and random events, non-related events,
smashing into each other and causing this situation or that situation,
and then, this happens, and it’s overwhelming, and it just looks like
what in the world is going on. And later, when you look back at it, it
looks like a finely crafted novel. But at the time, it don’t.”
Building upon that insight we present County Fair, a further Walshian inquiry into the fate of humanity and the meaning of life. Plus it's got some nifty riffs.
Found an old puzzle that somebody quit Try to fit pieces and hope that they fit But they're going together so slowly It may take me forever to know And it's only a puzzle
Parts of the puzzle will never be found And even though pieces are gone It's a county fair picture Part of me's there Some of the pieces are still at the fair And it may be forever
