This from one of the most successful musicians of our time. His view, given the chance to slow down and not be the top dog anymore must have been... what? Interesting? Amusing? Enlightening? And, in simply observing all of this, he writes another beautiful song.
==============================================
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
==============================================
RIP
His spirit is missed in this world. His time was short, but had he used it more frantically it would not have been his spirit.

Thanks (to you both) for putting such a great song (and viewpoint) in my head.
