The asterisk aka famous U*U Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "<A HREF="http://emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2007/05/famous-uu-kurt-vonnegut-jrs-picture-of.html" REL="nofollow">picture of an asshole</A>" attached to the word 'composed' was intended to indicate a footnote asking whether or not I am assU*Uming too much in suggesting that you are the composer of the 'I am Theist, You are Humanist' song. Needless to say this song *could* have been composed by someone else, or indeed be something of a group effort. Please let me know who actually composed the song so that I can give credit where credit is due to the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius" REL="nofollow">genius</A>(es) responsible for creating it. :-)Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18473139.post-79081599463747178942009-03-08T13:18:00.000-04:002009-03-08T13:18:00.000-04:00Well you are most welcome JMan.
