I (the 2011 Ed Haddaway) AM ENTERING THE TALK AT THIS POINT AND NOT THE BEGINNING NOT ONLY TO MAKE AN OBSCURE LITERARY POINT, BUT TO TRY TO KEEP FROM BORING THE AUDIENCE
THIS IS FROM A TALK AT NORTHERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wrote the above paragraph [DELETED FOR THIS POST] or rather the one I just read, or however I should say it, about a year ago …Another show….. another talk....another time. It was in Arizona, on a rainy rainy day ....I think
I haven’t learned much since then so I will still use some of it and a bunch of the old stuff in this talk..
I have improved my typing skills (which are minimal) and I am better at this cut and paste stuff on the computer,
so I plan to essentially edit the hell out of this talk and make it sound better and more meaningful.
Laziness is the mother of invention
Here goes:
[Im cutting this paragraph as you may have already read it in another post]
Ok. Truthfully, it (a life in the arts ) is not that bad….It’s just that to elicit pity it’s necessary to recount all the hardships and then some and then to dwell on them. Endlessly
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The August 2005 Ed Haddaway will here delete the next sentence or two and say honestly I don’t have a clue what is truthful anymore ….Art IS bad for your health for all I know …...Its killing me and …I feel old …My feet hurt….My teeth hurt ……..etc….. etc….etc
I am however, a believer in the art as therapy school of thought. We are all sick and need help (so they say)
Art holds out the promise of a cure but it rarely delivers.

Wow That sounds pretty good…… kind of deep and meaningful ….. I guess it stays in
But I’ll cut this……….
and this …….
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I do want to talk about Lawyers however.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
No I don’t want to talk about lawyers. At least not now….. maybe later

Shit! right here in real time I just realized I am typing into the original document…I don’t have a copy on the computer of the old talk ….I need to stop and start over on this thing before I really screw it up. I need to cut and paste
I’m a bit nervous this thing wont work
(That’s one of those double meaning deals….)
I am unsure of the computer and unsure if the talk will work.
