Even in a seemingly losing cause, one person may unknowingly inspire another, and that person yet a third, who could go on to change the world, or at least a small corner of it.
Or, as has been said before:
You can't change the world But you can change the facts And when you change the facts You change points of view If you change points of view You may change a vote And when you change a vote You may change the world
It was as if, in the words of reporter Lawrence Weschler, they were "calling out to everyone else, 'Come on out! Be open. What can they do to us if we all start taking responsibility for our true dreams?'"
"And if five hundred people... Can you imagine, five hundred people a day walking in, singing a verse of Alice's Restaurant, and walking out? They may think it's a movement."
If you ever feel like recording an updated version of Alice's Restaurant Massacree, that's half an album right there :-)
PS: Have you considered looking up the person who complained about TWIRP day, and sending her a copy of The Ballad of Sir Rupert? :-)
this suggestion is brilliant! tom smith does arlo...i may cry!
ps, tom, i knew that as soon as i told you i hadn't gotten the cd's they'd show up in my mailbox...just in time for cheron's trip to virginia (you are part of her top 10 cd's foor cartrips anyway....)
