Justice delayed is justice denied so I’ve heard.

I read a few years ago an article about Robin Gibb’s medical difficulties, and it detailed that when he (Robin) was in a coma, his family played Roy’s music, and (if I’m recalling the article well) Robin became newly conscious when he heard “Crying”.

For me personally, I’ve been a Roy Orbison fan since “Only The Lonely” in 1960. I regard his masterpiece to be “In Dreams” — written by Roy (no co-writer on this one) and, of course, sung by Roy:

This is the original studio recording, from 1963.

Not only were vile comments like “token black Republican” [Sen. Tim Scott] and “Uncle Tom” spewed, but the racist term “Uncle Tim” trended for roughly 11 hours overnight before Twitter finally found the time to block it from the trending column.

What fauxfended Scott’s unhinged critics the most was him declaring during his speech that “America is not a racist country.” Here’s a prime example of the type of unhinged eruption Scott’s remarks caused:

I’ve read very little of Sister Toldja, so apologies if this is one of her common witticisms.

As a kid I wondered how Collins felt. I’m sure he was a better sport than I would have been. Later I discovered Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull actually wrote a song about Collins. (L.E.M is the Lunar Excursion Module.)

I’m with you L.E.M.
Though it’s a shame that it had to be you
The mother ship

I’m with you boys
So please employ just a little extra care
It’s on my mind
I’m left behind when I should have been there
Walking with you

But why is the song also for “Jeffery and Me”? I’ll hazard a guess.

Jeffrey was Jeffrey Hammond, a close friend of Anderson’s from art school. They had a band together, but Hammond left the band to study painting. Apparently Jeffrey was never far from Anderson’s thoughts, judging by the multiple songs he dedicated to “Jeffrey.”

I believe “For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me” was in part Anderson’s wondering how Jeffrey might be feeling about the success of Anderson’s band — walking on the moon if you will — while Jeffrey was left behind. Perhaps the song was even part of Anderson’s campaign to woo Jeffrey into Jethro Tull.

However it happened, Anderson succeeded. Jeffrey Hammond played bass on the next Jethro Tull album, “Aqualung.”
