(What) A Wonderful Bay It Would Be

Rockin'? Welllll...you might call it that, but to me it's just 
ripples in the shallow end of the pool. I'm feeling wistful for the 
days of tall SHIPS with House colors flying and canons blazing, 
lethal cocktails in DIANA's drawing room, and raucous toga parties 
regardomg Livian Rome. Nobody's been bounced out of George's bar 
since your anger management group met, and there's a nary a pink 
flamingo caught hiding in even the smallest cathedral. 

Come on, the traffic on the main list isn't THAT bad.

Love it. The lyrics lend themselves better to Sam Cook's more upbeat, 
syncopated version than to the laid-back James Taylor cover. Now if I 
could just get that annoying tune from Evita to stop running thru my 
head....

Curse that Caius Marcius.
