Fun, Fun, Fun

As I look back at all the constructive criticism I’ve given you, it sure feels like I’m painting you into a corner. I just realized that if you accepted all of my suggestions, Earth 2.0 could be a very restrictive place. Sure, the world would be more civil and orderly, but people might not have the range of freedom they do today. Consequently, freedom of expression would suffer. I cannot imagine a world without The Beach Boys bringing sunshine into our lives with tunes like “Fun, Fun, Fun.”

Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man, now
And with the radio blastin' goes
Cruisin' just as fast as she can, now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away

I guess what I'm saying is don't take my ideas too seriously. If a handful strike you as reasonable and you can apply them, I'd be honored. I never envisioned sitting down with you for a weekend and dissecting them one by one. That would be great, by the way, but I understand your need for autonomy.
