I'm listening to Terry Jacks. Envy me. Really. I insist.
... We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach...

*sighs*

Somedays, it's good to be me....

2. Perhaps you failed to detect the sarcasm in my post....
I hate it as well. Pretty "dreck-ful".

My wife fails to detect my sarcasm occasionally. Gets me in trouble sometimes....:shrug:

6. It's hard to remember what they sounded like..lol
I know he was around since the 50s and had minor hits.
I also found this about him...pretty interesting.

" After his daughter Holly was born in 1985, Jacks formed "Environmental Watch", a communications network that enlists experts from all fields who donate their talents and services to help secure a better future for our planet. Since then his time has been spent tirelessly defending the environment.
Terry Jacks today

One of his hard-hitting videos, "The Faceless Ones", achieved 2 gold awards at the New York International Film Festival. In addition Jacks has received several other environmental awards, including one from the United Nations for his work in educating the public on the destruction being caused by British Columbia's pulp mills.

He continues his fight against the pulp and paper industry, the most toxic industry in North America - an industry that emits a thousand toxic compounds into our environment daily. He states, "The forest industry in British Columbia still practices 'clear-cut' logging methods and continues to use our irreplaceable old-growth forests for its throw-away paper products."
