A Progressive Playlist Of Plagiaristic Poetry (An Acrostic)
What It Says On The Tin
Introduction
I got this idea on a morning walking, and it started out as a Progressive music playlist. Then, I thought I could do an acrostic poem and then a playist of the bands and songs that I mention in the poem.
All the music-related and therefore "plagiarised" words are in bold.
While this could be in the Vocal Beat community, it will be submitted to poets as an Acrostic.

Goodbye, Mr. Duvall
It is turning out to be an interesting year. I was in the middle of teaching a class when a pop-up appeared on the screen announcing the death of Mr. Robert Seldon Duvall (yes, that was his full name). I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?

Really like ELO and you always share such interesting music. Good job on the acrostic too.
What a great selection of songs! Also, nice guitar collection! Is that a Stratocaster?
Cool, this!
