" There's such a lot of good ways to be bad
And so many bad ways to be good, haven't paid my rent yet
I tell them sorry but I haven't got the money anymore
Just for today I thought I'd leave love alone, hold hands with day

Information is not knowledge

Wisdom is not truth

Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct)
Beauty is a French phonetic corruption

CandW (although i do like some bluegrass),
Opera,(tho i love some choral)
Definite Faves, Reggae Dub and Rocksteady.1960's music Beatles and the Beach Boys and ever outward and onwards.

s. Some fiction but mostly biogs and research material .i enjoy Iain Sinclair and other left-fielders.
