I suppose the current credit crisis and the bankers getting top salaries which have to be cut plus the MP Pension Schemes
being revised ........ leads one to look back into the past with nostagia.
George
Michael on You Tube has a song which evokes the 1986 Past .. A
Different Corner .... would you care! I'm so scared! Got me on my knees, Would You Care! With George Michael featured sitting on the ground in a totally white set and singing his heart out! I guess one would care about what was going on in 1986 ... which is the date of this wonderful recording by George Michael.
In 1986, I was teaching full time in London and I did care sufficiently to come home and cut back the roses ... dig the rose beds and water the vine in the Greenhouse ... collect the Apples and Pears from the Orchard we had at the bottom of the garden and weed the flower beds in the garden at the front of our villa ....... Yes! I would care about our students and results and whether or not the family would succeed in doing what it wanted if and when it wanted to do it ... exactly as we choose. However, I did not anticipate total dissolution ... that was not on the table, was not on my agenda not part of the Mandate of 1986 ... and I didnt know what was around the next corner.
Doing it George Michael's poetic way I could have turned A Different Corner and never have left that Cherry Orchard of a Place but I stood firm .. I held my ground .. took on board responsibilities and where did it lead me .. up the proverbial garden path I reckon ........... still life is what you make it .......superb song sung wonderfully well by the Great George Michael Pop Star .. nice work!
