THE YARDBIRDS (1967)
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?

SHAPES OF THINGS TO COME
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings."

Where do I begin? It’s tough when you’ve been a musician for 60 years and everything reminds you of a song. Boy, that guy, Andy, could sing. Made white guys with no sense of rythym look good.

As for the subject matter of this newsletter, I intend to keep it varied so as to maintain reader interest and avoid frontal cortex fatigue.

We’ll bounce between real history, current events, wellness strategies, criminal politics, the tragedy of the human condition, comedy (but I repeat myself) and much more.

I’ll also be doing a fair amount of ejumacating in those financial areas of critical importance, given the volatility ahead. A black swan is circling!

BIG DOINGS. I am rejuvenating the old Gordon Phillips Academy website and posting a lifetime of learning and experience there. It will make an excellent resource for the conversations to be shared in this letter.

And for you former Freeman McEagle fans, rumors that our hero got shot down over the Obama compound on Martha’s Vineyard while trying to catch Michele sunbathing in her jockstrap have been greatly exaggerated. He’ll be back!

Your homework before we meet this Sunday night is to stock up enough green (cash) to get your family through the first 30 days of a systemic financial infarction. 20’s only, no 100’s. If you’ve got 100’s, swap ‘em for 20s.
