I wish Son House was my brother, or at least a cousin of some kind.<br /><br />I couldn't avoid writing a song informed by the blues due to the repetition inherent in a pantoum.<br /><br />I wasn't angry about the Cocker reference, just confused. I get it now.<br /><br />Thanks, and cheers.W.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18354701327343219309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735499716586768250.post-84744390350617924632009-08-02T17:59:28.907-07:002009-08-02T17:59:28.907-07:00Hi W.F. --

Hard not to acknowledge, since I was already on the subject of how the poem references songs. But I did reserve the possibility that it might be a coincidence.<br /><br />No mistaking on the Son House reference, though, I hope? That seemed pretty clear-cut intentional.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108785153248826337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735499716586768250.post-77546629097053090012009-08-02T17:41:32.464-07:002009-08-02T17:41:32.464-07:00I just want to mention that I've never listene...I just want to mention that I've never listened to Joe Cocker -- isn't he the guy that does nothing but Beatles covers, and that right poorly?<br /><br />I don't understand the "Joe Cocker" reference thing.

Yes, this is how I spend my spare time, when I am not reading pantoums. <br /><br />Once you do the meme and select your people, you have to tag them people on their blogs. Dustin now, per the meme's rules, has to tag seven people to be also be Queens of All Things.<br /><br />I was only supposed to tag women, but that gender-based limitation felt like pants that bind in the crotch, so I named two women, five men and one robot.Danahttp://readwritepoem.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735499716586768250.post-4754008973308941312009-08-02T09:21:40.662-07:002009-08-02T09:21:40.662-07:00Dana-- totally mystified by this.
