    Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    It starts when you’re always afraid
    You step out of line
    The man come
    And take you away
    For What It’s Worth
    Crosby Stills and Nash

    We ‘grooved’ on that tune in high school, Joe. I remember it well. 1967? The cops those days were called ‘the fuzz,’ a monker that has fallen into desuetude.
    But my dear Joe, it was not C, S, & N, but Buffalo Springfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY
    And yes, it was ’67. We were juniors at the Tech.

    This would make a great tweet mavphil. Twitter sure is a great platform for aphorisms.

    Thanks, TJ. I do have a Twitter account, but I can tweet, engage in Facebook narcissism, and post long, carefully thought-out articles here. One stop shopping.

    Twitter is a weapon of mass distraction. Maybe I should post that. But hats off to Elon Musk, one more time.
