A song for Tim
Some of you may have watched Meet The Press with Tim Russert on Sundays. I did. I was very sad when he passed away recently, sad enough to write about it.
This song is dedicated with love to Tim Russert (May 7, 1950 – June 13, 2008)

Summer came and took a friend away
Feels like only yesterday
When Timmy smiled you'd see a boy inside
Sunday'll never be the same
Reaching out into America
Sunday on t.v
Ooh I'm gonna miss your style
Even more, I'm gonna miss your smile
Turn back the time, turn back the day
Time give me time, time to say
So long
So we're left with only yesterday
A time for every scene
I reckognized the meaning in the book
That healed a Father's pain
I think I saw you in the eyes of Luke
The day we said goodbye
We put our differences to sleep
Watching rainbows in the sky
Turn back the time, turn back the day
Time give me time, time to say
So long
No we won't see the likes of you
No better man could fill those shoes
So put your hand upon your heart
Go make a pledge, a brand new start
You'll see a rainbow up above
It's no goodbye, farewell my love
It's just a sign for all to see
From our dear friend, Timothy

Gary, how's things?
I've come back to the blog!
Bruce Springsteen did a good tribute to Tim Russert. Sang Thunder Road. It's on youtube somewhere i think.
Anyway, i'm hoping to stick with the blog for a bit. interviewers like to use it for coming up with questions and stuff so it makes sense to keep it current.
