I’m reading Ron Chernow’s
biography of Alexander Hamilton, and am awed not only by Chernow’s writing, but
also his accounts of Hamilton’s writing, of which I’ve read only a few samples.
I’d like to get a good copy of The
Federalist Papers. I tend to read three or four books at a time (well, not
simultaneously, of course; that would be weird), with at least another dozen on
tap. I’m reminded of the great Twilight
Zone episode, “Time Enough at Last.” My reading taste, like my taste in
music, is very broad and eclectic. So here’s a song about conforminty.
What The Others Are Doing
© 1986 Brian Hutzell
They're dancing
and their clothes are fancy
They got rhythm,
they got the steps
The got the rest
of the party in a bag
You're asking if
the drug is lasting
You got nothing,
you got the cents
You got the rest
of the money in a bag
Use it as you
want to
Don't waste it
Watch the others
And do what the
others are doing
Do you think it's
an original notion?
Do you wonder why
I picked you out?
Cause you're
moving with a singular motion
And your face is
shining in the crowd
Use it as you
want to
Don't waste it
Watch the others
And do what the
others are doing
When you're doing
what the others are doing
Gotta operate a
special way
You're directing
what the others are doing
And there's very
little time for play
When you're doing
what the others are doing
You get lost in
the company
You're a part of
what the others are doing
And there's very
little time for me
Watch the others
And do what the
others are doing
Watch the others
And do what the
others are doing
You're dancing
and your clothes are fancy
You got rhythm,
you got the steps
You got the rest
of the party in a bag
Use it as you
want to
Don't waste it
Watch the others
And do what the
others are doing
"Adidas"
