Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,
Ol' Willie Loomis was as quick as "Neon" Deion Sanders in placing those expensive earrings in Maggie"s purse today.
Maggie looked so beautiful as she admired those five thousand dollar earrings on her lovely earlobes in the mirror. Of course, the perpetually-pragmatic Ms. Evans told Joe that she was just as happy "with a good book or a box of candy for a gift."
Don't believe it, Joe! I think that the late, great Mama Cass Elliot had it right with her rendition of the late John Phillips classic song: Words of Love
"Words of love, so soft and tender
Won't win a girls heart anymore.
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before.
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go, no!
Words of love, soft and tender,
Won't win her. "
So, Joe, take it from me, next time you're driving over to the Evans cottage for your date with the lovely Ms. Evans, try popping an eight-track cassette of the Mamas and the Papas into your Ford Bronco stereo system and reflect upon Mama Cass' sagacious words of advice.
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender, author of the "Ask Bob About Love and Romance Column" in the Collinsport Star.
