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
Oh yeah! Cool!
ReplyDeleteThat would be one Ian Hoff. Nearly taught me all I needed to know about style all himself. Super guy and one of those types that has been interested in alternative/throwback surf craft long before it became la mode.
He makes a lot of time for himself in Australia actually. A heck of a lot of time.
La mode, eh!
ReplyDeleteWell, Ian Hoff is looking pretty steezey on that wave and I like that picture the more that I look at it.
(Haha. I used 'steeze' in a sentence!)
