Raising the Standard

Like I was sort of saying yesterday, my disability has been that I have too much ability. I'm too efficient. You should have seen me at the Post Office. I'd stand in one spot and launch the mailbags into their cages. I finished an 8-hour job by lunch. That's too good. And my computer programming contract, back in '02, was supposed to last longer, but I got it all programmed in three months, all with hard code. And look what happened when I tried my hand at comedy writing - after I already had music. But those rock stars clearly had a problem with my music, as with the above song, originally shared in 2007. By the way, how's that big new war that started up on the day I rewrote it and posted it? It doesn't look like they've had to declare martial law yet or anything around here. But a big new war suddenly starting up would certainly be more important than me busting the Rolling Stones with my music. They're not allowed to play Halcyon Days anymore, okay? It's my song. Get it from me, please. And they're not allowed to play Nothing but Ashes, or to play my guitar solos. And I wonder how much money they didn't pay me for my music in the last twelve years, to add to the other offenders in my case. Did I ever tell you I'm a borderline epileptic? My mother had me in her later years, you know. Something was bound to go wrong. But they say that's the disease of the gifted, so maybe I should be honoured. Julius Caesar had it. And he got a whole month named after him.
