It is the Gordon Lightfoot hit of 1970. Since then, others have recorded it. I liked it the first time I heard it. In fact, I regret that I don’t have a copy of it. In fact, I just went to Nam when it came out, another reason to remember it. However, at least I can hear it on over the internet. According to Wikipedia, Gordon Lightfoot attributes his divorce as inspiration for the lyrics of the song. I have no reason to doubt that. It would seem there is pain in every word, both as written and sung.

Nonetheless, the song, especially the title, is a little interesting, isn’t it? I’m not sure I would like it if you could read my mind, that is unless I could control it. I am afraid you just might find out more about me than I would like.

I suspect it is similar with most of us. To be sure, the vast number of us would like to be able to keep our thoughts private. On the other hand, we would really like to read the minds of others, you know, like our boss. Women might like to know what that good looking man is thinking… or maybe not.

Certainly, the vast number of politicians would not like us to be able to read their minds. You think maybe Kamala would prefer we not know her thoughts. On the other hand, I’m not sure. I almost get the feeling that Trump would prefer we could read his mind. I think he has is telling us what he thinks. If we could read his mind, I don’t think we would have many surprises. I do believe his interest is in making things better for us all.

With Kamala, I don’t need to read her mind to know where her interest lie with her and her party. Her goal is control, in any way she can acquire it. It is what she wants. What I can’t understand, why would anyone want her to have that control, in light of what she has done in the past.
