| one very familiar
type of song is the christmas carol. although it is perhaps a bit out
of season at this time. however, i'm informed by my "disk jockey"
friends - of whom i have none, that in order to get a song popular by
christmas time, you have to start plugging it well in advance. so here
goes. it has always seemed to me after all. that christmas, with its
spirit of giving, offers us all a wonderful opportunity each year to
reflect on what we all most sincerely and deeply believe in. i refer
of course, to money. and yet none of the christmas carols that you hear
on the radio or in the street, even attempt to capture the true spirit
of christmas as we celebrate it in the united states. that is to say
the commercial spirit. so i should like to offer the following christmas
carol for next year, as being perhaps a bit more appropriate.
christmas time is here, by golly, on christmas day you can't get sore, relations, sparing no expense'll hark the herald tribune sings, so let the raucous sleigh bells jingle, |
