I was going to trick you

Yes originally I was going to title this post "those damn emails"hoping you would click onto it thinking it was something about Hillary Clinton. Instead it was about you.

Yes you

And this has been discussed before and probably from your work. I am talking about what you write in your emails. I bring this up as a warning from a friend or whatever you may consider me.

Once again we need to be reminded what we send in an email can end up in places we have no desire of the outcome.  I recently was forwarded (and this is the problem) yes forwarded an email I had no business seeing. Not that I would care normally, but it was just completely out of whack for me to see. And of course it ends up being very applicable to my world professionally even though why it was forwarded to me was for personal reasons from someone else.

A bit confusing yes and I am keeping it that way because I have to protect a whole host of innocent or guilty people depending on your perspective.  Anyway be very careful what you write in an email. You never know who may read it and why. If I didn’t know the whole story in advance and there is a very large story I might have let it go to the people I know the author of the original email would not have wanted it to go. Yes there is a large group of very lucky people both on the sending side and the talked about side who will never know this email existed. Strange but true I saw an email that had nothing to do with me, but much to do with my work and some of my colleagues in the larger sense. It was a wow moment for me.

So please take this warning seriously and always always always remember, you never know where your emails may land. It is quite scary and normally completely unrelated as to the sender and how it ended up in my world. Yet it would be a tragic embarrassment for many people if I let this one through. And what it is worth I like many people that are involved. It took a very large circle and it was a circle and I got caught in the middle. I am repetitive because I hope I convey this message strongly enough so you do not make the mistake others did. What can I say, I would never want you to think you are just conveying a simple complaint and lo and behold …… wow…… Emails are permanent beyond belief and you better hope you have a friend like me or …. Oops     There are people on this planet that have no idea that I know some things that were written and will never know yet I will talk to them sometime in the next week or month just by chance of my professional world. It amazes me because I guess you can say it is a small world after all.  And yes this was huge,, very very huge.

Now to more fun thoughts..

The band Yes, in my opinion reached their zenith in 1974 with Yessongs. It never got any better than that in my opinion and I saw other tours

Talking Heads in 1984 with the Stop Making Sense tour.

The Rolling Stones can be debated between Sticky Fingers or Exile on Main Street albums

U2, was it The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum or the tour for Vertigo? Your thoughts?

ELP was it the California Jam 1974?? Or ?

I saw the O’Jays on Late Night with Steve Colbert and they still sounded good. Strange but true, since it is hard to sing at their age. Yes I said their age.  I still like the Temptations better though. And you?

The Armadillo in Austin… well nuff said  … or Austin City limits… there was a time where Austin was the Third Coast and the alternative to New York and Los Angeles,   And at times much better, more real and down to Earth.

And without a doubt Merle Haggard, he is the ultimate Country music legend…Mama Tried, if you do not cry when you hear that song, you have no heart

Everyone goes Dark Side of the Moon, but what about that Crazy Diamond,,, the whole album says more to me

And well Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road? Be bold and make the decision

And finally is it Michael Jackson or Elvis the King of Pop?  Or both; well because…

And who gives a flip about grammar unless you are George Will?

What say you?
