@AllErikaEclectica Thanks Erika. Take care.

Now that I heard your comments at the end I wanted to add a second comment. The Waste Land, by T.S. Eliot is one you certainly know. I read impromptu half of it in the office one evening with Lord Moggy one evening, and listening back to that one on here I actually prefer my own reading, with all its fault, to the readings OF THE AUTHOR HIMSELF which are also up on YT, and in my view really disappointing!

@usenetposts Hi Dave. TS Eliot is not a poet that I've read. And after checking the poem out, can say that its a most confusing mish mash of words. It gave me an unpleasant feeling.

@Amiduffer I used to think the poem was marvellous, but after hearing the author's own reading of it, I'm not entirely sure. Certainly on a scale of 1 to 10 where Catcher in the Rye is 1 and Finnegan's Wake is 10, the Waste Land probably rolls in with an 8.

@usenetposts Did you know that Eliot was part of the cold war British Society for Cultural Freedom, a CIA/Fabian cultural operation to promote really degenerate anti-classical culture promoted by the Nashville Agrarians and financed by Warburg?

@Amiduffer I did not know that. Where did you get this information?

I feel like doing a response as my Cockney poetry fan character Alfie Mullard. I only did him once, but some of the radio guys are asking for more.
