The Sigh of the Weary
Feb. 9th, 2011 09:19 pmI want this week to be over. I want next week to be over too. With all due respect to people who have enjoyed this series for some arcane reason, I'd be okay if this month were over as well.
No matter how awful I feel, there's always one thing that can cheer me up:
The really staid guy is Stephen Foster. He's kind of a big deal around these parts, although like many famous Pittsburghers who didn't peddle in human misery, he only became famous after he left Pittsburgh. If you've never heard of Stephen Foster, he wrote O Suzanna and Hard Times (Come Again No More). If you've never heard of those songs, chances are you aren't from the South or are pretty far removed from the discord of elementary school music classes.
And who's the dashing fellow to the left? Why is he included in this tableaux? Your guess is good as mine. He looks like he's a lot more fun than stupid old Stephen Foster.
