George Lets Paul Try His Pajamas



I love the picture.
And the tiny coffee cup next to George's mouse.

Oddly, this set up of G's is exactly as my own office was when I was half George's age.
Of course there were no computers then, and one picture was of a new album "Morrison Hotel" on my corkboard, along with a symbol for someone's idea for a new concept that was still months away - Greenpeace.

I see Paul Bates here more as the straw man in the Wizard of Oz, and George as the obvious Elvis wannabe.

Would the letter on the wall above the lamp be George's first draft of his attempt to get out of his contract with the CBC?

George appears to be looking for more lyrics to print at his Strombo.com.

The stuff on the bulletin board could, and should, just go into a scrapbook. And in fact the whole board could just be replaced with a yellow sticky that reads "DO A BETTER SHOW THAN YESTERDAY".
But if all that stuff helps George to remind himself that he's interesting, then who am I to spoil his "comfort zone".
