Comments
Just in case you don't get to all the comments on my blog, there was quite an active discussion on a recent post. I smashed my "most comments in a blog post" record! The swear word referred to in the first comment is concerning my use of the word *******, as in ******* Ancient Mariner. The ******* stands for fucking which I will not write here because I only swear once every 100 blog posts.
Isn't
it actually five comments you've added, counting this one and the other
comment you wrote that you pretended was from an anonymous user but was
actually just you?
Not
usually, which is the beauty of it, it's like whispering a secret to
the wind, or writing a little prayer and shoving it into the cracks of
the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
Bob,
I am touched that you read my blog, and I think you are great, but if
you keep promoting your cd of Sinatra covers on my blog I swear I will
ban you so fast your head will spin!
I
would like you to take a nice break from touring and then publicize a
really huge return concert, maybe solo acoustic. During that concert
spend at least half the stage time chatting affably to the crowd,
telling stories, making wry comments, you know the thing. When you play
songs do them pretty similarly to how they are on the records.
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
Just have to add a comment to this comment post, though there is really nothing left to comment on since you have already done such a thorough job.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, nevertheless I am delighted at your contribution.
