I never saw this coming. Mary Worth is the lead character in the long-running comic strip of that name. Mostly what goes on is she tells her friends how to live their lives. [MAD Magazine parodied the TV show Route 66 by comparing it to Mary Worth–people who never go to work so they can meddle full-time.] On Sundays the strip includes a boxed quotation about life. Mickey Hart, of course, is a drummer who was in the Grateful Dead for about 30 years. Nobody in the cartoon has EVER listened to the Grateful Dead. I think that’s funny.
The quotation in the funnies was “There’s nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it.” Harmless, I guess. I looked up last week’s. It was “Patience attracts happiness: It brings near that which is far.” I’ll keep an eye out for something memorable.
Hart’s article in Wiki makes me think “I Just Want to Bang on the Drum All Day” is his biography. Hart says that since he was 10 all he wanted to do was be a drummer. That reminds me I should post about my Grateful Dead records.
