Musical Musings… Someone Else’s Mixup

Every once in a while, it’s nice to scoff at someone else’s misery mixup.  I’m not free of confusion in this situation, but it involves my boss/friend Paul, and the group Supertramp.

    I think I’m blown away by the concept of someone writing an imaginary diary that detailed. It’s like somebody broke into my house to read my daily cat diary.
