Heaven is clean socks

[cjsmith]

Post-op appointment this morning. My doctor changed the bandages wrapped all over the outside of my foot but didn't touch the surgical tape over the actual incision. I took a picture, of course (edit: for upload tonight). My feet don't look very pretty. They're orange, wrinkled, and a little bit bruised. They are also starting to smell like feet. Wow did it ever feel good to have clean cotton wrapped around them! I got clean booties, too, and what's more, I got permission to WASH the booties! Oh heaven!

We do! I can imagine I'd *greatly* enjoy the songs he would write about current events.

According to an interview I read a while back, he gave some good reasons for his retirment from musical satire:

I'm not tempted to write a song about George W.Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporise them. (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/02/28/1046407753895.html)

Right -- it's not W that quieted him down in 1965, but (as he says in this quote and later in the article) he got too angry. That is indeed the death of a comedian. Too bad, though.

Yeah, I didn't mean W was the specific reason for retiring way back then, but I know it keeps him out now, and I liked the quote. :-)

There's always Roy Zimmerman[1], though his recent stuff has been disappointing.
