When I was a mere lad, back in the ol’ country (America, pre-lamebrainian era), the only people who had tattoos were some servicemen and hardcore bar rats. And you just didn’t see the average Joe or Jane with that “unspeakable” everlasting art on their bodies. Fast forward into the present, and Katy bar the door.Everlasting skin art is everywhere.
Men. Women. Young. Old. All skin shades. Doesn’t matter. And the more, the badder (Huey Lewis got it right when he said “sometimes bad is bad.”)
Just to clarify a bit. I’m not sayin’ that you’re bad if you have a tattoo. But I am saying I don’t believe it makes a statement anymore. When “everybody’s doin’ it,” you no longer stand out to do it.
OK, I’ll leave that there for naysayers to stew on. Because I’d rather finish up this post with some lyrics I wrote about the best work of art you can possess. If you’re not a current owner, I urge you to update that status, posthaste.
Everlasting Everywhere
I want the Everlasting Work Of Art;
Not just on canvas, but engraved in the heart
I need the Everlasting Scale Of Worth.
That’s the only Way to perfect peace on earth.
Everlasting and everywhere…
He’s Everlasting and everywhere
I look for Everlasting holy clues
To steel myself through all this negative news
I dream the Everlasting wide-eyed stuff,
But I’m still aware that dreaming’s never enough
Everlasting and everywhere…
He’s Everlasting and everywhere
You seek the answers to the mysteries of life
But how much truth can you handle
And as for me, well, there is only One Fire
That lights the flame on my candle
Everlasting and everywhere…
He’s Everlasting and everywhere
I look to the Everlasting Guiding Star
To make my path straight as I travel so far
I sing the Everlasting song of man;
Teach us to understand our place in the plan
Everlasting and everywhere…
He’s Everlasting and everywhere
