Can you see me at all?

Watching PPS - WTTW in Chicago. Ray Suarez interviewing Tucker Bounds at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix. Tucker's chin is resting on his chest. There is no smile on his face.

And in the background, the Beatles are singing - Nowhere Man.

How deliciously ironic and appropriate.


He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.


Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missin',
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

(lead guitar)

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all 'till somebody else
lends you a hand.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen,
you don't know what your missin'
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
