Curiosity Wrote Some Songs

" When God told Adam he could eat of all the fruits of the Garden of Eden, but not of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, he placed what has been called a “provoking object” in Adam’s eyes. The provocation was to go beyond the boundaries God had established and thereby set himself up a rival deity, a being with no limits on what he can conceive, a being whose intellect could, in time, comprehend anything and everything. "

From an article called Does curiosity kill more than the cat? (NY Times)

Now I don't know about all that. But what I do know is that curiosity wrote some incredible songs in my day. Have you ever been curious where your girl done slept last night? You ever wake up and wonder about these things in the morning? And you think about it for so long that by the time dinner rolls around you've written your self a fine little diddy that goes somethin' like this, here...


Leadbelly – “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” mp3





And if you heard this before, maybe it was that Kurt Cobain boy who done it unplugged.
And he's somebody ya take advice from as far as curiosity goes. He went ahead and found nirvana instead of being curious about it.
Ok now...do your self a favor....and write more songs about your curiosity. And if you can't sing 'em your self...there are plenty of folks who can.
