I don't know as to whether Jimi's life was to "learn" from a past
mistake; if so, then what will the lesson of his next life be assuming
he hasn't already reincarnated?=EF=BF=BDWould he lose the gift of

over having indulged in the booze and drugs? Or would he be able to
reclaim the creativity yet have the clarity and strength to stay away
from the things that robbed him when he was Jimi?

I occasionally have dreams of being in a classroom myself. Think I'm
just revisiting myself back in time. The dream which bothers me the
most as far as finding a suitable explanation involve being on a one
way road that dead ends into a lake or river. You're not allowed to go
back the way you came but neither can you move forward as there's no
bridge that permits you to cross. That's a repeating dream of mine and
there are some variations but always, there's a huge body of water for
which I cannot cross.

And where there is clarity, there is no choice. And where there is

That's possible but I believe there are people in this world whose
souls have rotted away with no vestiges of goodness remaining within
them.

I sometimes think OJ is insane. What kind of mindset was he in to
believe he could walk into that Vegas casino and get back his
memorabilia that he said was stolen from him, in the way he attempted
to get it back? Hello? Did he re****t the stuff as stolen when the
theft occurred? Or did he not re****t it so as to avoid Ronald
Goldman's father filing a claim for that stuff as well.

No, it's also an unpaved, rough road in the city of Avoidance!

Missionaries are scary people. They don't take no for an answer nor do
they give up on knocking at your door when they know you are there but
are avoiding them.

Unless the station is using enough of the music to warrant a royalty
being paid, it may not be worth bothering. And if enough is being
used, chances are they obtained permission.

I think all that's being done with "The Prison" is that the music is
being remastered and remixed again while the book is being added to. I
still don't have the first remaster/remix from the 90s, which I think
I read had extra instrumentation. So, I gotta get that and yet another
remix???? (Psst! Mike! Consider extra instrumentation for "And the
Hits Just Keep On Comin'.")

Back in the 60s, someone did a poster based on "When I'm 64," which
depicted the artist's rendition of what each of the Beatles would look
like when they were 64. Always thought that might have been something
of a jinx, dooming their chances to reach 64. But, Paul and Ringo have
surpassed 64 and Paul actually wrote the song. As for the artist's
rendition of what he thought Paul and Ringo would look like at 64, he
missed by a billion miles: all of the Beatles except for George, bald
and heavyset, all still wearing sideburns, George -- goatee, Ringo --
moustache, John and Paul -- no moustaches or goatees. (He must've
pictured the Beatles as looking something out of the early 1900s
instead of the early 2000s.)

I don't know about that one. What about child prodigies?
