Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: Travel, Travail, Transition

Open roadJohnny Cash, I've Been Everywhere, man, crossed the deserts bare, man/I've breathed the mountain air, man/Of travel I've had my share, man/I've been everywhere.

Pete Seeger, Passing Through.  "Yankee, Russian, white or tan, Lord a man is just a man/We're all brothers and we're only passing through."

Soggy Mountain Boys, I am a Man of Constant Sorrow

Karla Bonoff, The Water is Wide.  Is there a better treatment?

Tom Waits, Shiver Me Timbers.  If you've read Jack London's Martin Eden, you will figure out what this song is about.
