Kevin--
I appreciate your urge to respond. Unfortunately I don't recall the
Summarize Proust Contest, but do you remember when Chapman played
Oscar Wilde?
It's interesting that you glommed onto the term 'summarize' and
changed the title of my post. I'm not interested in any rational,
deep probing summarizin, but as my title suggested, I want you to
Come Screaming.
It may be a silly suggestion of mine, no doubt, but so what? Here's
what I said:
'What I would like to see--and I'm asking you, I'm asking everybody
who went through the entire GRGR trip--I would like to see, not
summaries because you'll start blabbing about 'well it's so
complicated and plus it's all such a matter of perspective', what I
want to see is your hearts poured out in one grand statement about
what you think, how you feel, about the Rainbow's, the Rainbow's, its
what-it-isness, it's....what is it?
Do you follow me?'
