The music lover knew everything about music
and nothing about music.
It all started in the high school halls and in the shopping malls.
He was not cool and he was cast out.
As coolness is a virtue held in some esteem
he estimated that his prophet was in music
for everyone knows that music is the Jesus of cool
and so it goes--or went.
He acquired every esoteric detail of the obscure bands comprising his massive cd collection.
He knew not only the band originated from Ronnie Hawkin's Hawks
but who supplied the cocaine which ended Richard Manuel's tortured life.
The music lover's wife knew nothing about music
but was privy to the secrets behind music.
After it became apparent the music lover could not relate to these
she left him.
That was two years ago.
