I've been really feeling this Elliott Smith song lately.....

This is one of my favorite songs.  He was such a gifted spirit. I truly hope he has the peace he deserved and never again suffers the kind of pain and anguish he had in this life. 

I have become a silent movie
The hero killed the clown
Can't make a sound



Nobody knows what he's doing
Still hanging around
Can't make a sound
The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me


Bored in a role, but he can't stop
Standing up to sit back down
And lose the one thing found
Spinning the world like a toy top
Untill there's a ghost in every town
Can't make a sound


Eyes locked and shining
Can't you tell me what's happening?
Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?

Yes, kiddies...THIS was the Spiderman we knew and loved so well in the 70's along with that classic 1967 cartoon with the rad theme...and then there was Nicholas Hammond, too....

....I totally forgot about how the noise his thought bubbles made sounded like a pissed-off duck call!  Go Spidey, GO -- just don't slip and fall in those slippery Spidey socks!
