The road there, if you'll let a guide direct you Who only has at heart your getting lost, May seem as if it should have been a quarry!! Great monolithic knees the former town Long since gave up pretence of keeping covered. And there's a story in a book about it: Besides the wear of iron wagon wheels The ledges show lines ruled southeast northwest, The chisel work of an enormous Glacier That braced his feet against the Arctic Pole. You must not mind a certain coolness from him Still said to haunt this side of Panther Mountain.

USIS Washington File: TRANSCRIPT: REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY NOVEMBER 5
THE PRESIDENT: From Blueberry Hill to Capitol Hill, and countless concert halls and honkytonks in between, Fats Domino has brought musical joy to millions, including me. I was this morning trying to remember all the lyrics to all the songs that I could. I will spare you a recitation. ... THE PRESIDENT: When the movie "Urban Cowboy" came out, Ramblin' Jack Elliot must have laughed, because even though he sings like he was raised on the range, he was actually born, as he puts it, on a 45,000-acre ranch in the middle of Flatbush. He left home at 15 to join the rodeo, where he learned to sing cowboy songs. But it was hearing his first Woody Guthrie record that transformed him into the man Sam Shepard called a "wandering, true American minstrel." ... [Read More]
