So for like 19 years I have owned Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses but have never been able to get past the third page.

I have decided I am going to read it this summer, and am already up to page 35 of 500 and some. It is very different than what I am usually attracted to, but it will be good. I bought it originally because he had been condemed for writing it. I really should actually read it.

"Picture it if you will" Summer, 1972, my sister is driving a large white 1967 Chrysler thru the streets of Washington, D.C., I am sitting in the front seat and our mother is in the back seat with her hand on a coleman freezer sitting on a bath towel, the A.M. radio plays two songs with amazing frequence. One is Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again, Naturally and the other from a native of Mt. Airy, North Carolina:

(and I sang along with every line)

Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It’s a skippidity do da day
I’m the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.

Good morning morning
Hello sunshine
Wake up sleepy head
Why’d we move that bojangle clock so far away from the bed
Just one more minute
That’s why we moved it
One more hug will do
Do you love waking up next to me
As much as I love waking up next to you

You make the coffee
I’ll make the bed
I’ll fix your lunch
And you fix mine
Now tell me the truth
Do these old shoes look funny
Honey it’s almost nine
Now you be careful
Gotta go I love you
You have a beautiful day,
And kiss the happiest girl, In the whole U.S.A.

Skippidity do da
Thank you oh Lord for making him for me
And thank you for letting life turn out the way
That I always thought it could be
There once was a time when I could not imagine
How it would feel to say
I’m happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A

Now shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It’s a skippidity do da day
I’m the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.

Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It’s a skippidity do da day
I’m the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.

Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world
It’s a skippidity do da day
I’m the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.
