Yes, indeed. Burns was essentially a rock star. It drove his more respectable patrons to distraction. The man becomes the toast of Edinburgh, but take your eyes off him for a minute and he's out drinking with the disreputable and making poems to barmaids.
Those interested is a taste of this side of Burns, can immediately check out the Merry Muses of Caledonia, a collection available for free at http://www.robertburns.org.uk/merrymuses.htm ML ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
