many moved by Bea Arthur

[fflo]

I guess she was an icon.

Sandi's first mention to me of being hot for a woman was, I believe, to being hot for Bea Arthur.

Me, here this afternoon, I gotta crank up the motivate, get myself moving. Inertia's been demonstrating itself comparatively too much in the body-at-rest tendency, vs. the kinetic variation.

Let's picture this icon Gertie creakily rising from her statuary roost, stretching out arms in a sideways yawny awakening, and hoppin' down offa there for a cruise around her park, brisker and brisker, ignoring all them New Yorkers who, astonished, start filming her with their phones and trying to persuade her to stop to sign a stony autograph.

(Okay she might pause if she encounters a big poodle.)

i love that song. so simple, and economical, in lyric & in melody. and a rhetorical question that sets up & embodies the dramatic situation, fleshed out just enough in the few lines that follow, that's one of yer fundamental dramatic situations.

in some senses things do get simpler as you get older.
