Great Moments in Metaphysics

[It being the dawning of a long Holiday Weekend -- at an especially depressing time in our current American history -- I've decided to have a little fun for the next couple of days. Weightier, more serious postings, will resume next Monday, i.e. when the party's over, as it were. Thanks!!! -- S.S.]

In case you're wondering, Eddie Lawrence -- aka The Old Philosopher -- was one of my heroes as a kid. Not to mention a major fashion influence. 😎

And if memory serves, another one of my childhood heroes -- Soupy Sales -- used to play the above on his afternoon show all the time.

I should add that "musical accompaniment by the Sentimental Four" is now my all time favorite credit on a recorded product ever. 😎

    Mr. Lawrence has a strong scarf game. And I laughed out loud at the musical accompaniment credit. Sentimental indeed.
