Always inspirational and entertaining.<BR/><BR/>A number of years ago I listened to a radio interview with Jon Cryer (the actor) who had a movie coming out called "The Pompatus of love". In which they discuss the origins of that lyric in the Steve Miller song. From what he was saying is that it's actually a miss pronunciation of a word in a well known poem from a beat poet. I couldn't tell you what poet or poem (I'm fuzzy on that part. But the peot was actually the one who made up the word. Miller just miss pronounced it. Thanks for everything.<BR/><BR/>EarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-1145170028061713542006-04-15T23:47:00.000-07:002006-04-15T23:47:00.000-07:00Time still slips into the past, but i found where ...Time still slips into the past, but i found where pompatus came from.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompatus<BR/><BR/>By the way, Alzheimers chicken, the Alzheimers Fleche, whats next, should I be worried?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-1145149366542544822006-04-15T18:02:00.000-07:002006-04-15T18:02:00.000-07:00I'm hoping to do my first Fleche this spring.
