Stonehenge was great in ’68, when we could walk inside among the pillars and actually touch them. Guess there were people who wanted souvenirs though and they spoiled it for the rest of us.
Redkaycei RepocI didn’t think they permitted filky lyrics. I had the honor of swapping filk with Seeger once. For the audience unfamiliar with filk, he presented the Aphrodite verse above, and I my chorus for Allan Sherman’s Orally (“When you take vaccine, be sure / You take it orally, / For the other way, you see, / Is more painfully.” “Orally, orally, gives you far less fuss, / Than to be stabbed right in your / gluteous maximus.” Somewhere around “right in”, Seegar had figured out the rhyme, and he almost fell down laughing..The reporter on Murphy Brown claimed one couldn’t claim to be a journalist without having a personal Hemingway story. I claim the same for folk singers’ Seeger stories. I can claim both, although the Hemingway was post mortem. As their stable camping author, Scribners had me double check the weight of listed items of camping gear, for a Hemingway book they were publishing. His figures were reasonable. I thought the whole thing ridiculous. The story was somewhat autobiographical, and he had undoubtedly done more camping than I.
