Just last week I overheard two humans discussing politics. "Well,
so-and-so hasn't moved Columbia or the state in all those years in
office!" I have reached the conclusion that we should elect the
person who really can move this city, and advocate moving
Columbia closer to Atlanta. The concerts are better there.
I received a letter from one of you out there, complaining about the
apparent irrelevance of this column. Robert Patterson, a history
major, suggests that this be titled "From the Jackass's Mnnth "
said that he is bored with the column, since I rarely cite why I write,
WHY MUST PEOPLE be so inquisitive? Why does thsre have to be
a reason for everything? Everybody takes life so seriously that they
seem to lose any sense of enjoyment they might have had. Of all the
potential "serious" issues to be dealt with, Mr. Patterson singles out
a harmless, semi-humorous attempt at breaking the monotony of
daily news. Whether or not this column is .indeed funny is not the
point. The point is, there is no point. If you are looking for something
serious to read, I suggest you try Ann Landers or the Reader's Digest
(which gives me indigestion).

concerned. Jackson Browne is dropping by on the 21st, and rumor
has it that a certain piano man will be the entertainer on May 2nd.
Camping out for tickets to the Browne show was a rewarding experience.
The management of the Township made every effort to
keep us comfortable. They even let us in to see "J.D. Sumner and the
Stamps: a Tribute to Elvis!"
AS I ENTERED the auditorium to the sounds of "Let Me Be
There," I became increasingly thankful that Elvis is now doing what
all good songwriters do after they die: decomposing. J. D. Sumner

ballads as "I Left My Parts in San Francisco" (theme from
"Coma") and "Honey" ('One day while I was not at home, and she
was there, and all alone, the milkman came').
As the night grew, Mr. Ed was taught how to throw a frisbee, and
was nicknamed "Ashley Whip-Ed, the Wonder Horse." Some of the
more ardent Jackson Browne fans had camped out for two nights.
One remarked, "I'd give $100.00 just to touch his ass." I wonder how
much I could earn if I was his horse.

Orleans, standing up every so often to quiet down the frisbee
throwers, or to dump a beer on a close friend. Several people camped
out separately to obtain tickets to championship tag-team wrestling.
All in all, it was an ultimately enjoyable time, as many new friendships
were struck up.
A special congratulatory remark is due Woody Allen for mopping
up the Academy Awards, and choosing to play the clarinet rather
than attend the boring ceremonies. Woody Allen fans were probably
a lot more excited than he was, but I still think he appreciates the
recognition.
