Relative Something

When what matters, doesn’t seem to matter, and the words we’ve already heard, all seem to fall hollow, landing on deaf ears, it can increasingly feel like the hopelessness running rampant in waves of public opinion, while the masses clap along in perfect time, laughing in desperate hysteria, all come from the sudden realization that the backup singing on the song, “A Little Help From My Friends,” as performed by Joe Cocker at Woodstock, was actually provided by men singing falsetto.

At the same time, it’s as if the music that can be heard was actually coming from Joe, himself, performing an amazing rendition of “air guitar.”

If it weren’t for the miracle of all the movie cameras capturing the scenes, we would be forced to rely on snopes, or notarized certifications of eye witnesses.

There. Don’t you think it sounds like I need a vacation?
