Madoff To Jail

Eminence Front
The sun shines
People forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The girls smile
People forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they’re hiding.
Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It’s a put-on
The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they’re hiding.
Behind an eminence front
An eminence front - it’s a put-on
it’s a put-on - it’s a put-on
The Who
I doubt those who lost everything will ever forgive or forget the man who hid behind an eminence front. They just want their legacy back.

Mar 14, 09 at 3:56 pmThe contrast could not be greater. My love for that song and hate for that man.
I will always associate Madoff to that song now.
Love all of these Larry.
