A drunken lion asleep in the fields was awoken by a neo-Nazi mouse running over and across his face. Losing his temper, he seized it with his paw and was about to kill it. The mouse crapped itself, and piteously implored him to spare his life. “Achtung, please let me go,” it cried, “and one day I will repay you for your kindness.”
“The Entertainer” was written by Scott Joplin in 1902. It enjoyed modest success as a two-step dance number in its day. It probably would have remained an obscure slice of musical history, but thanks to the movie The Sting, set in 1936, released in 1973, there was a resurgence in ragtime music, and “The Entertainer” got a lot of AM radio play. It was weird to hear something like “Bennie And The Jets” by Elton John followed by “The Lord’s Prayer” by Sister Janet Mead followed by “The Entertainer” by Marvin Hamlisch on WLS. I had no idea how good things were.
It was a once in a lifetime moment, so I had to ask, “God? What do you like most about me?”
It’s hard to believe that Aimee Mann [56] is two years older than me [54] (Thank you math), but it makes sense too. You know, time and its linear path, unless we’re talking about time travel.
