Dechristo Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 got leon? Leon Russell? ... definitely. His segment in Concert for Bangladesh was the best part of the whole show. One of the bands I play in, covers a couple of his works: "Masquerade" and the rousing Russell arrangement for Joe Cocker of "The Letter". Or was the reference to "Leone", the currency of Sierra Leone? You propose living this short life well with lots-o-cash? Or is "leon" short for the latin "leonis" = lion? Gonna live this short breath with the ferocity of da King of deh Beasts, fightin' for the best hump in the pride? Or did you misspell, leaving a letter out of "levon"? Proposin' sittin' back, skinnin' a fat one, and listenin' to old Elton John records? Wut it be, homes? Quote
Dechristo Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 leon vicino "They're all weeping. Actually so am I. Here are these people living in real and constant danger and what they're hearing is how everything comes to an end but along the way there's stuff worth having been born for. ... " ...Leon Vicino, who tells him that "my God who exists may not be the same as your God who does not exist. ... So maybe if you show me your God I will agree he doesn't exist, and if I show you my God you will agree he does exist. And so we will both have been right. ... So you show me yours and I'll show you mine." " 'My God,' I offer, 'is like the Great Examiner, and the life he gives us is like one long exam.' " "Then I most decidedly do not believe in him." "So who's your God?" "My God is you." This colloquy, by the way, gives away nothing -- because the mystery at the heart of "The Society of Others" doesn't really begin until you've finished the book. Got it, cool. Quote
