Well, consider me humorless. But I would not like such a ditty composed about me and posted on an internet board unless the person who wrote it was an extremely good friend of mine. And perhaps even if it were. It would hurt my feelings. Perhaps it brings back too many school memories, where such things were certainly not done with affection.
This is a rhetorical question, because I feel rather uncomfortable discussing either the song or Phil's block, since I have a liking for both Lou and Phil. But I wonder how many people would appreciate such a song written about them and their presentation on this board of something that means a whole lot to them. A lot of times we open up here and share things that make us vulnerable to others.
Perhaps there are those among us who would not mind such a thing, but I don't think it can be assumed that that is the case. I do congratulate those among you who would not be hurt. I spent my whole life trying to get to that point. And I'm not there yet.
