hi
i'm listening to the song "I could be singing forever" this days. I don't understand who or what is Spiro?
like: "Spiro stepped out on the door step"

maybe this is a really silly question, but i would like to know about it!!

Spiro T. Agnew was Richard Nixon's vice president, until Agnew resigned and was replaced by Gerald Ford.

Corruption in government was rampant then, and it is rampant now. Here's hoping that better times are coming.

Nixon/Agnew.......Bush/Cheney........the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I wise man I know once said" These days, even Richard Nixon is beginning to look pretty good!" :shock:

I'm getting that wierd deja vu feeling.....wasn't this an answer on blunder jeopardy?: "This is the first name of the vice-president whose last name rhymes with the sound a sneeze makes".

Welcome to Blunderland Lisa.....it looks like this round goes to you, when you wrote: ".....who or what is spiro?"

If I don't know you well enough to ask this, I apologize, but I was wondering.....why are you sad?

"Sad Lisa" is a deeply moving and beautiful song, one of my favorites:
