Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Hatred definitely subtracts from the amount of energy one can devote to love.
I agree.
You, Daniel and I might be 'old', but we're not a one of us 'stupid'. Let's enjoy the time we have left together ;)

You know George, I remember a long, long time ago. After Sam Stepro, you were the second person at AOA to make me feel at home. You sent me case badges, all the way to Thailand. That small deed will always be in my heart.:D

Unfortunately it's difficult for me to remain on the "good foot." Major, major thanks to Daniel ~ and to your august self for help in pulling away from the abyss!!

Garshk, flash from the past. I enjoyed sending our AOA stickers around the world, glad that you liked them too!
It's coming back to me... one of our Members braved a SARS epidemic to grab them in China. Above and beyond or what?

Come to think of it... I like the original better.

At Big Sur in 1969:
And this original of Helplessly Hoping, still the best, IMO:

I love the alliteration in the words, only Stills could have done that. Perhaps his greatest lyric:

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

I agree, the original of "Hopelessly Hoping" is the best. This song knocked me out, it is SO fantastic.

We need to listen to the quite ones.":O}
