-Don McLean, "Vincent"
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr
and shine....
We have but two choices. To live a life that is typical, predictable, safe, experiencing no extreme emotions, blending into the average. Or to live a difficult life, experiencing only extremes, finding few sanctuaries, being denounced by even one's ex-friends as insane, loony, mad.
The question is, which of these lives is actually more insane?
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner
and sh...sh...damn....

Yay you're back!!
Yeah, I think I should have been clearer when I wrote this post. It was the product of shock while reading an Italian newspaper. They always use the same pictures, always write the same things. And with quiet dignity they write about a life.
It really doesn't help anyone, you know.
