Just for the record, I knew. Even in 1970, I knew Rod McKuen was a button-pusher. Therefore, I really do not have egg on my face. I just have to recognize the need to use emoticons for clarification around here. (sigh) |
Also, for the record...I think I got it. No need for emoticons. You were mocking..in a friendly way...my interest in Jonathan Livingston Seagull...the book, not the character. Point taken. JSL doesn't rank highly among the great metaphorical or allegorical works. To me, it was just a whimsical story that I liked. You are being charitable by calling McKuen a button pusher. I would say he was the lyrical equivalent of a snake oil salesman, seeking and achieving commercial success via pseudo-intellectual musings.
Now, Humpty Dumpty, that is an enigma wrapped in a mystery inside of a dream....sorry, Winston Churchill.
