Nuts? ….Doc, I need help!
My problem is that I can't separate Gord's lyrics from My daily reality!
You see Doc, if a word or object is found in Gord‘s lyrics and I encounter that word or object in my daily travels, it triggers an irrepressible desire to hum that tune. So far I sing it to myself - you know, big grin, vacant stare, arms wrapped around my knees, rocking back and forth with a few mumbled words escaping 'Now & Then'. How soon before a confused and concerned pubic stand back with eyebrows raised, then dial 911 as they look on with unenlightened pity? Yet, for me it's pure Rapture!

If I pass a Hotel, I wonder if it is of the 'Hangdog' or 'No' variety - then on deciding, I hum the appropriate tune. Look, a 'Boathouse'-hummmmm, it has a second floor, I wonder if Susan is up there, Hummm.......

Take a trip through the supermarket and the tunes I hum change as I pass 'Biscuits', 'Strawberries' (wild or otherwise), Seafood Dept? - 'Rainbow Trout', or 'Shellfish'. Wine!-Is it Blackberry?, - hummm..................., Clothes (Saturday's????) - jewellery store??? I bet they carry 14K, hummmmm

Home Depot, surely no Gord in there?.....'Windowpanes' & 'Walls', brooms for your 'Cobwebs & Dust' - not to mention that 'Painter Passing Through' carrying a can of Sherwin-Willams. Two-By-Fours made of 'Knotty Pine'!! Hummmmm, La, La, La,….Hummmmm…..

Is that Circle is 'Small' or 'of Steel'? – the song begins to play in my head. From ‘Tattoos’ to ‘Triangles’ to ‘Shadows’, if I see it, I’ll hum it!

God help me if it starts raining because the synapses can't handle 'Early Morning', 'Looking At' and 'People' all at once!
It's a 'Black Day' when my 'Unsettled Ways' have left me 'Restless' and all I really want is some 'Tranquility'
You get the picture. So tell me Doc, am I nuts??? Hummmmmmm, La, La, La….
