There’s a recording of that song on the Muppet Christmas Album, from one of the Muppet/John Denver Christmas specials. We have the record, which we bootlegged into a tape before letting go of the record player. I tear up Every Single Time I hear it. But it’s a good thing.
I only see you a couple of times a year, Kevin, but I honestly think you aren’t as far from honoring the ideals of your heroes as you think. You are a creative, thoughtful, passionate, and yes, gentle man. I’m happy to know you.
(Which is not to say you should stop striving to be better – we all should. That’s how the world becomes a better place.)
Also, if I had any stamps in the house, I’d be mailing off for a bumper sticker RIGHT NOW. Must remedy that.
