The Cuckoo's Nest

The thrill is gone

Reader(s) might have already suspected that Cuckoo is suffering from blogout. As B. B. King would put it, "the thrill is gone". There have been no shortage of things to blog about, but I no longer feel that unmistakable 'got to blog it' tingle about any of them. It just ain't there anymore. Not even the brief return of the Nest's bete noire Stephen Crittenden to ABC Radio National Breakfast can rouse me to the keyboard. Why it has vanished so suddenly and completely, I cannot say. Let the bloggers of sterner stuff continue their fine work: I can only return again to those lyrics of B. B. King:

The thrill is gone

It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
All I can do is wish you well
