And now for some visual input...


Check It Out
John Cougar Mellencamp

A million young poets
Screamin' out their words
To a world full of people
Just livin' to be heard
Future generations
Ridin' on the highways that we built
I hope they have better understanding

Goin' to work on monday
Got yourself a family
All utility bills have been paid
You can't tell your best buddy that you love him
Where does our time go
Got a brand new house in escrow
Sleepin' with your back to your loved one
This is all that we've learned about happiness

Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly
Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions
Gettin' to drunk on saturdays
Playin' football with the kids on sundays
Soarin' with the eagles all week long
And this is all that we've learned about living
This is all that we've learned about living

A million young poets
Screamin' out their words
Maybe someday
Those words will be heard
By future generations
Ridin' on the highways that we built
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they'll have a better understanding
Check it out...

I'm always interested in feedback, differing opinions, even contrarian blasts...as long as they're delivered with decorum...with panache and flair always helping.
