When The Music has reached the "Badge"

    Jim Morrison once sang "when the music's over"

     

    Is the music ever over?

     

    George Harrison made a famous comment on Cream's "Badge" - "what does that say? Badge?" Another immortal song.

     

    Myself, I love all kinds of music. Jim Morrison, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Beethoven, Mozart, J.S. Bach, you know I live "outside" most of the time.

     

    Living outside means not being always the fancied. Jim said "I have some friends inside," but when I look outside I don't hear the calliope. No tunes turned on a dime. No scream of a butterfly nor the silent scream of a foghorn.

     

    Jim said "we're getting tired of hanging around" - yet I seem to relinquish in 'hanging around'. What exactly am I looking to escape from/to?

     

    A certain Hobbit was thrown into an Unexpected Journey by being "the thief" who would sneak past the wrath of Smaug, the dragon. I don't expect amongst my jewelry is the "One Ring" - but wouldn't it be nice if it was?

     

    One thing I can say; music is a good friend. Music sails the skies and the heavens. It creates musical harmonies in the heavens (see J. Kepler).

     

    Thank goodness at this point we've reached the "Badge"...
