Aww... thanks Hazyshades! LOL, I got bit by another Recluse spider a couple days ago. I'm on hiatus. If I've learned one thing, it's that I don't edit on steroids. All my characters get really ANGRY for no reason. LOL. It's better to just wait. At least a week. LOL.

Tom Wolfe Dead at 88 | National Review
Legendary Journalist and Novelist Tom Wolfe Dead at 88
Renowned journalist, essayist, and novelist Tom Wolfe passed away on Monday at the age of 88, his agent Lynn Nesbit has confirmed to the Associated Press. He had recently been hospitalized with an infection.
[...]
In The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, he chronicled the blossoming psychedelic counter-culture of the 1960s, following Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters as they spread the gospel of ... on their cross-country travels in a repurposed school bus. In The Right Stuff, he told the stories of the “Mercury Seven,” the first astronauts assigned to the NASA space program, as well as Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager, whom many considered a superior flyer despite the fact that he was passed over by NASA. And in his novel The Bonfire of the Vanities, he satirized the lust for power and wealth in 1980s New York.

COMMENTS
“He is probably the most skillful writer in America — I mean by that he can do more things with words than anyone else,” William F. Buckley, Jr., once wrote of Wolfe in National Review.

--------------------------
Mr Wolfe chronicled a generation's story, history, and angst.
There are few journalists like him left if any..., he will be missed.
Bon Voyage Tom Wolfe, ride that bus right into heaven. - Hazy

No comment...other than the ignorance of CONTEXT and censorship without a valid cause seems a good reason to take a forum vacation.
It would seem what's good enough and acceptable for a reputable magazine like 'The National Review' isn't good enough for some "folks".
See y'all

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs! :w00t:
The song written by or attributed to Ronald Blackwell was made popular by Sam The Sham and The Pharohs and that is my favorite version but it was covered by a bunch of folks including the version below by The Animals.
In fact it's been performed by:
