    Some might say that. I preferred pure simplicity to vocal gymnastics. I have the same preference with National Anthem presentation. But I'm a son of a bivocational Church Music Director when he wasn't being a Chemist, Physicist or Chemical Engineer or Volunteering as State President for Mental Health or Suicide Rescue.

    My 1st crush on a celebrity was Karen Carpenter. Although I love me some Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks. One of my ex brother in laws went to Thomas Jefferson HS in Port Arthur with Janis Joplin.

    I grew up 30 miles away and at the time, she was an embarrassment locally.

    Creative people often don't fit the norm and can be misunderstood or can go down a dark path. I like a couple of her songs and that she was from Texas, that's about all my investment in understanding her life.

    It's just an observation about how a consensus about a person can change drastically over time. I won't get into whether the better evaluation was the initial one or the rewrite. But there is always a range of opinions at any time beyond merely good or bad. Like what makes art good?

    Ullola could

    The fact that they sent him to the pen doesn't mean they are giving up on him, its more that they don't think he will be able to contribute as a starter but they feel like his stuff is good enough to play at the big league level

    Who knows what will happen with a role change. It may have no positive effect. But it may be his path to helping out the 26 Astros too
