Einstein was a surfer
Um, WHY have I never heard of this song before? Did it do the blog rounds last year when it was released and I wasn't paying attention? Having missed this song, I feel... inadequate. Not that the song is great, but conceptually... AMAZING! And the photo Jimmy Buffet is talking about is real and here it is! And here is a bonus Einstein sporting shorts and a devil may care attitude! Now, LYRICS!! With the obviously winning lines being 'Cause the universe was his home break/And we’re still all paddlin’ out'. **** There’s a photo of a genius Standing by the ocean In a pea coat and cool hat In 1943 On a beach in Santa Barbara He’s looking quite contented His world is only matter And energy Past the Channel Islands Out into the cosmos There are worlds in motion That only he can see He’s smiling as he’s thinking The harbor lights are blinking He’s the smartest cookie Ever was, ever will be Einstein was a surfer
an old professor of mine once told me that you'll always overestimate what you'll accomplish in the next year, but always underestimate what you'll accomplish in the next three. and so far, he's been pretty bang on. hope that the year that felt like ten was pretty good, even retrospectively... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Rebecca! I adore that photo. Captures exactly the fuzzy nostalgia that birthdays evoke in me.
