Radio Ga Ga

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Thoreau

well before the time of steve jobs

more wrongs than rights

more loose threads than tight tights

i remember turning worn knobs

bopping to staticky airwaves

loose corn from cobs

like babies, we drooled for our favorite songs

to this very day, whenever i pass by one

my head sways and bobs

as my nostalgic heart sobs

Author's Note

"Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it." - Thoreau
