I've had another epiphany -- not unlike Lisa Kudrow's character, Phoebe Buffay on Friends when she sang Elton John's wondrous hit: "Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza".
Let me digress for a minute. I began my education with thoughts of being a voice major; I have a trained voice, one that does not lend itself to pop music. Picture/hear this: it would be a lot like hearing Montovani playing something by Twisted Sister. How does this relate to my epiphany? It doesn't; I just thought I'd mention it.
Anyhoodle, as Every Day Jay says. I recently heard Meat Loaf's song, "Two Out Of Three"-- a song I've always liked. Thirty years later, after singing what I thought were the correct lyrics, I've finally learned the real words are, "...but you've been cold to me so long, I'm cryin' icicles instead of tears!!" Who knew??? Well probably everyone but me. The heck with the fact that my version didn't even make sense.
So I wonder now how many memories, how many conversations, how many facts in my own history, for that matter, are totally misconstrued; mis-remembered, skewed? And if I misconstrue, wouldn't it stand to reason that the whole history of the world is as skewed as Emily Latella's take on things. OY! Could be that chrome really was built in a day.
