Today I heard the Doors “Hello, I Love You, Won’t You Tell Me Your Name?” for the first time in decades. Talk about your skivvy songs. If anyone approached me like that, my creep-o-meter would register about a million, my self-defense would go into overtime, and I’d be looking for the nearest cop. ---

He perfectly expresses what its like to pass an unapproachably beautiful woman. Not skeevy at all. > [@](#): > > She holds her head so high > Like a statue in the sky > Her arms are wicked and her legs are long > When she moves my brain screams out this song > > Sidewalk crouches at her feet > Like a dog that begs for something sweet > Do you hope to make her see you fool ? > Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel ? ---

I recently rewatched “Cool Hand Luke”, and had very little sympathy for him as I watched him make one bad decision after another. ---

In real life, I’ve met a few bikers. Some of them were “outlaw” bikers. None of them have been as cool as Peter Fonda, or even as cool as Fonzie. As I get older, I find myself rooting for the Coyote to catch the Roadrunner. In Tom & Jerry cartoons, I think Jerry is at least as big a jerk as Tom. And I think Bambi would make delicious steaks. _Animal House._ The older I get, the more sympathy I have for Dean Wormer.
