I don't know. The world? You inspired a blog post on this topic: Mystery muse~
My muse is there; he is elusive and invisible, but apparently omnipresent, when he's not playing hide and seek.
I don't know that I've discovered my muse yet, Rick, but I do listen to Jimmy Buffett music when I write. It reminds me that being serious is all well and good, but somewhere out there is a world of sunshine and tiki bars and flip flops. A dash of irreverence, a taste of tequila, a smile or two - it inspires and grounds me. Reminds me to not take myself so seriously.
So does that make JB my muse? Hmmm....bet he's been called many things before, but... :-)
JB has certainly found his muse. Saw him in Phoenix in 1980 when he had a broken leg. Still put on a great show.
