     I was-and still am- very receptive to the songs I hear on the radio and, in such manner acted, then-then reacted-to rock group U2's Walk On:

                                                                            
                                                        And love is not the easy thing
                                                           The only baggage you can bring
                                                             And love is not the easy thing
                                                           The only baggage you can bring
                                                           Is all that you can't leave behind

                                                       And if the darkness is to keep us apart
                                                  And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
                                                        And if your glass heart should crack
                                                              And for a second you turn back
                                                                           oh no, be strong

                                                                          Walk on, walk on
                                                              What you got they can't steal
                                                                  No they can't even feel it
                                                                        Walk on, walk on
                                                                         Stay safe tonight

                                             You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has
                                                                               been
                                                         A place that has to be believed to be seen
                                                                      You coulld have flown away
                                                                  A singing bird in an open cage
                                                              Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

                                                                               * * *

                                                                           And I know it aches
                                                                         And your heart it breaks
                                                                      And you can only take so much

                                                                            Walk on, walk on

                                             Home...hard to know what it is if you've never had one
                                                      Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm
                                                                             going home
                                                                       That's where the hurt is
                                                                               Leave it behind
                                                                     You've got to leave it behind
                                                                             All that you fashion
                                                                                All that you make
                                                                               All that you build
                                                                                All that you break
                                                                             All that you measure
                                                                                  All that you steal
                                                                       All that you can leave behind
                                                                                 All that you reason
                                                                                    All that you sense
                                                                                 All that you speak
                                                                               All that you dress up
                                                                                 All that you scheme

     I listened to the song at Aloha Tower Marketplace at about 6 P.M., I believe, and interpreted it as being the admirer's request that I return home: stay safe tonight. I figured I had proven myself worthy of respect as I very reluctantly drove home, thinking my day was done.:-\ However, as I reclined in the driver's seat upon parking in my house's garage, Walk On played again. I must return! The anonymous admirer's life is in danger, I believed, from the fragments of information I gathered and processed from many other songs and commercials I heard on the radio.
