Creativity Quote by Perry Como

There is something quietly disarming about Perry Como sidestepping whatever larger subject is on the table and landing on the nearest patch of fairway. "But we do have..". opens like a gentle rebuttal, the kind delivered with a smile you can hear. It suggests an implied pressure - to be exciting, to be exotic, to have a dramatic answer - and Como opts for the opposite: the comfort of the ordinary.

The specific intent feels conversational and diplomatic. He's not declaring golf as a passion so much as offering it as a practical solution, a small proof of a good life close at hand. "Near by" (with its casual spacing and lack of polish) and "fairly regularly" are doing cultural work: they frame leisure as routine, not indulgence; pleasure as modest, not performative. In a celebrity ecosystem that rewards spectacle, Como is selling steadiness.

Context matters because Como's public persona was built on ease - the cardigan-cool crooner whose success came packaged as effortlessness. Golf fits that brand perfectly: respectable, controlled, middle-class aspirational without seeming grasping. It's also a postwar American status marker that doesn't feel like status when you say it this way. The subtext is: I'm fine; my life is normal; don't worry about me. For a star often defined by calm, the line is a small masterclass in how to signal contentment without sounding like you're bragging, and how to keep fame from turning your private life into a storyline.
