And about that election last night...... I really do WANT to believe in hope again. But history is too hard to forget. I know this has almost become "cliche'", but it is simply still too appropriate to resist: New Boss, Old Boss, Same-Same We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they were all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky 'Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeah! There's nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss Eminence Front: It's A Put-On! The sun shines and people forget The spray flies as the speedboat glides, and people forget Forget they're hiding The girls smile and people forget The snow packs as the skier tracks, and people forget Forget they're hiding Behind an eminence front Eminence front, it's a put on Eminence front Eminence front, it's a put on Eminence front Eminence front, it's a put on, Eminence front Just an eminence front, it's a put on, it's a put on Come and join The Party, dressed to kill Won't you come and join Our Party, dressed to kill Dressed to kill Drinks flow, people forget The big wheel spins, the hair thins, people forget, They forget they're hiding The news slows, people forget The shares crash, hopes are dashed, people forget eminence front Hiding behind an eminence front, it's a put on It's just an eminence front An eminence front, it's a put on An eminence front An eminence front, it's a put on Eminence front It's an eminence front, it's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on Come and join The Party, dressed to Come and join the party, dressed to Come on join the party, dressed to Come on join the party, dressed to kill Dress yourself to kill "In the end, only kindness matters."

And now, for something non-political, but still WHO.....from the very best who live album, we have just about the best, most unusual and most innovative (especially for the time) guitar solos EVER!!!! I have two copies of the original version of this album on vinyl, one of which is actually an ORIGINAL 1970 copy.....with all the goodies that came inside, that one can no longer get. I will never forget the first time I heard this album, and, in particular, this solo section, in 1970, tripping on Mescaline . This music was HEAVY AND PROGRESSIVE! It had me plastered to the back of the couch. It still does that to me to this day.....even without mind-altering substances!! It was one of those from that time frame, that set the bar for Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock guitar. Even so, The Who truly were/are in a class all by themselves!!! Enjoy it! It's worth listening to ALL of it! Live at Leeds

And, there has never been a better (or as good) version of Magic Bus, than on the Live at Leeds album. This is from one of the later, remastered editions, and NOT from the original, so there are a few differences that I noticed. Like, at 1:18, the original backwards guitar has been replaced by a shorter guitar strumming! Still, it is KILLER! Heavy, indeed! The lyrics were, um, slightly different from the "single" version of the song played on radio!! Every day I get in the queue To get on the bus that takes me to you I don't care how much I pay (too much, magic bus) I wanna drive that bus to my baby some day (too much, magic bus) Yeah, the magic bus, magic bus Thruppence and sixpence every day (too much, magic bus) Just to drive to my baby (too much, magic bus) Thruppence and sixpence each day (too much, magic bus) I drive my baby every way (too much, magic bus) Magic Bus (Give me a hundred) Magic bus (I won't take under) Aieahhhh (??????) I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it. Can't have it) I don't care how much I pay (too much, magic bus) I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (too much, magic bus) And I'll buy it. I'll buy it. I'll buy it. (OK. You can have the magic bus for one hundred English pounds!) NO! Too much! (Give me a hundred!) Ninety-five! (I won't take under!) Ninety-five! (The Bus is Wonder(???) She got that thunder!) Whoa, oh, now I've got my magic bus Oh, now I've got my magic bus I drive my baby every way Each time I go a different way I'm gonna ride her Ride her Ride her Aieahhhhh! Magic Bus!!!! Magic Bus! Wow! (Whew!!) (Now, pay close attention after the song ends at right at 7:33 or :34, to hear that "Whew" said into the mic. I have always imagined it was Pete who said it, but who knows?)

History Repeats Itself I've been waiting for something to happen For a week or a month or a year With the blood in the ink of the headlines And the sound of the crowd in my ear You might ask what it takes to remember When you know that you've seen it before Where a government lies to a people And a country is drifting to war And there's a shadow on the faces Of the men who send the guns To the wars that are fought in places Where their business interests run On the radio talk shows and the t.v. You hear one thing again and again How the u.s.a. stands for freedom And we come to the aid of a friend But who are the ones that we call our friends-- These governments killing their own? Or the people who finally can't take any more And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone There are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire There's a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flames Of the wars that are fought in places Where we can't even say the names They sell us the president the same way They sell us our clothes and our cars They sell us every thing from youth to religion The same time they sell us our wars I want to know who the men in the shadows are I want to hear somebody asking them why They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are But they're never the ones to fight or to die And there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire"

I am the one, your help I’ve refused Your offering hand just set off the fuse I am the rock that pushes away I gave up tomorrow to spite today Too proud to beg Too stubborn to try I’d look in your face And spit in your eye But I’m willing to find what’s really inside And show I am strong enough to Trust in you. Trust in you. Trust in you. Pull me up Quo modo – shadow to light Quo modo – shadow to light Quo modo – pull me up Pull me up Cause I am ready I am the one who blames only you The flame in my eyes now blackens my view I am the one who wanders alone Darkness inside blocks how you’ve shone Who tied the other End of my rope? I want to move on I want to have hope So I’m willing to change I’m going to try To show I am strong enough to trust in you. --Offspring You can't comfort the afflicted without afflicting the comfortable. --Princess Diana of Wales

Its really snowing tonight The first Fall of Snow The first fall of Snow I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were sack cloth all tattered and torn He told me a story of sorrow and woe His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl He loved every footstep he loved every curl But she went to heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow He still have the dolly that she used to love He held and caressed it and he gazed up above He whispered my darling you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow [ fiddle ] And there as I listened then my eyes filled with tears I knew she was part of his happier years His frail body trembled he spoke soft and low I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow I just couldn't tell him how I felt inside I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide He smiled as we partred cause he didn't know That we'd lost our darling at the first fall of snow...

Somewhat prophetic, 1992 song "Foreclosure of a dream", Megadeth Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end, ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost, personal Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren land that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a deed Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartland dies, loss of all pride To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost, personal Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream "The congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say 'No, read my lips, read my lips, read my lips' " Now with new hope, some will be proud This is no hoax, no one pushed out Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer Break new ground of a new frontier New ideas will surely get by No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?" You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost, personal Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Dave Mustaine, rock n'roll prophet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhHekWC7qk "Life is like a golfball.

BT This Binary Universe. It's a dvd with videos for each song. I can't recommend any specific song, the entire thing should be experienced. I know the name of one song on the album is the Antikythera Mechanism. The antikythera mechanism is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first known "mechanical computer"[1][2]) designed to calculate astronomical positions. Very mellow and strange music. We begin again constantly.

About Disillusionment and Wanting More My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark The living room is still I walk by, no remark I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines I hear her call "Sweet dreams" But I forget how to dream But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry My friends from college they're all married now They have their houses and their lawns They have their silent noons Tearful nights, angry dawns Their children hate them for the things they're not They hate themselves for what they are And yet they drink, they laugh Close the wound, hide the scar But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry You say that we can keep our love alive Babe, all I know is what I see The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds But soon you'll cage me on your shelf I'll never learn to be just me first by myself Well O.K, it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry (Marry) "In the end, only kindness matters."

Still to this day, that song can make me cry, Mama. The first verse is the one that gets to me. Even now, just reading it again.... It is just too close to what my parents' relationship was like, before they divorced when I was 14. ---------- Here's my contribution for tonight..... A fine old piece of music, and a VERY well-done video, using both amazing "actual" images, and clips from "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman", which used to be one of my favorite shows. Cheyenne Anthem From the mountains to the sun Life has only just begun We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth In the kingdom of our birth Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth On the earth You have come to move me Take me from my ancient home Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now We will share it with you No man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling Hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die Is there no solution? Can we find no other way? Lord, let me stay Under the endless sky And the earth below Here I was born to live And I will never go Oh, no But we cannot endure Like the earth and the mountains Life is not ours to keep For a new sun is rising Soon these days shall pass away For our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind In the ground our bodies lay Here we'll stay "In the end, only kindness matters."

Will I wake up Is it a dream I made up No I guess it's reality What will change us Or will we mess up Our only chance to connect with a dream Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me I'm buried by the sound In a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage I'm lost and I'm found And I can't touch the ground I'm plowed into the sound To see wide open With a head that's broken Hang a life on a tragedy Plow me under the ground That covers the message That is the seed Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me I'm buried by the sound In a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage I'm lost and I'm found And I can't touch the ground I'm plowed into the sound Will I wake up Is it a dream I made up No I guess it's reality...

Tool is a heavy rock band, most beloved by myself and almost all my friends. I just wanna share these two songs which fit together because they've really meant a lot to me. The video even has a depiction of what looks to me like an awakening of Kundulini and Ascension. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvXASWDMtBM 06 parabol • So familiar and overwhelmingly warm This one, this form I hold now. Embracing you, this reality here, This one, this form I hold now, so Wide eyed and hopeful. Wide eyed and hopefully wild. We barely remember what came before this precious moment, Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside... This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion. 07 parabola • We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal All this pain is an illusion. Alive, I In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal All this pain is an illusion. Twirling round with this familiar parable. Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing. This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion. |

A decade ago, I never thought I would be. A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me But I guess that it comes with the territory. An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity. I need you to hear. I need you to see. That I have had all I can take And exploding seems like a definite possibility To me So Pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees I said I can relate Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from. The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D... And thinking so much differently. Pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.

Hero of the Day Mama, they try and break me The window burns to light the way back home A light that warms no matter where they've gone They're off to find the hero of the day But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do you feel your names? Did you hear your babies crying? Mama, they try and break me Still, they try and break me Excuse me while I tend to how I feel These things return to me that still seem real And now, deservingly, this easy chair.. But the rocking's stopped by wheels of despair Don't want your aid But the fist I've made For years can't hold or feel No, I'm not all me So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel But now the dreams and waking screams That ever last the night So build the wall, behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can you hear your babies crying now? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Did you feel your names? Did you hear your babies crying? But now the dreams and waking screams That ever last the night So build a wall, behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies crying now? Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try Mama, they try Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try Mama, they try I think Jame's voice is so perfect in this version. I know there are many who did not like the S&M album, but I love it. Of course, I love almost all Metallica. This song, to me, is a soldier, back from war, trying to deal with what he's been through. Yeah, yeah, I know..... I bet I have posted this song at least half a dozen times. It'll still be good on the upteenth time! "In the end, only kindness matters."

Miaree, once again, I have learned of an artist I did not know about! I particularly enjoyed the second song. The singer's voice reminds me of sorta of a cross between Scott Stapp and Gregg Allman! "In the end, only kindness matters."

Little Green Man You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus, You're as charming as an eel. Mr. Grinch. You're a bad banana With a greasy black peel. You're a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart's an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders, You've got garlic in your soul. Mr. Grinch. I wouldn't touch you, with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch. You have termites in your smile. You have all the tender sweetness Of a seasick crocodile. Mr. Grinch. Given the choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crockodile. You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You're a nasty, wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks Your soul is full of gunk. Mr. Grinch. The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk." You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch. You're the king of sinful sots. Your heart's a dead tomato splot With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch. Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, Mangled up in tangled up knots. You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch. With a nauseaus super-naus. You're a crooked jerky jockey And you drive a crooked horse. Mr. Grinch. You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce. "In the end, only kindness matters."

Well, I really wanted to post this on the "President Obama" thread....but I decided to be "politically correct", and at least express myself in the appropriate place. I was reading an article about all the "Obama worship", and someone responded in defense of Obama worship, saying that he is "the light at the end of the tunnel". Well, being who I am, it immediately reminded me of a song! So, I quickly started trying to remember all the lyrics, other than the "hook" line, and decided to just listen to it again! I just about dropped my teeth when I listened to it, from the perspective of all the Obama worship. It really is just uncanny! Here ya go! Enjoy! (I sure did!) NO-LEAF CLOVER And it feels right this time On this crash course, were in the big time Pay no mind to the distant thunder Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy.... Says it feels right this time Turn around, found new high lights "Good day to be alive, Sir" "Good day to be alive", he said..... Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way Don't it feel right like this All the pieces fall to his wish Suck up for that quick reward, Boy Suck up for that quick reward, They said..... Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way...... Its coming your way Its coming your way...... Here comes Yeah, then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way.... yeah... Then it comes to be, yeah... Then it comes to be, yeah... Then it comes to be, yeah... Then it comes to be, yeah... Now, each and every line and each carefully chosen word.....just think about it (those of you who WILL) while thinking about this new "Administration". Fascinating! But then, I always have been easily entertained! And I LIKE THAT about me!  "In the end, only kindness matters."

I've been a bad, bad girl! I've been careless with a delicate man And it's a sad, sad world When a girl will break a boy just because she can Don't you tell me to deny it I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true And I just don't know where I can begin What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Heaven help me for the way I am Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand But I keep living this day like the next will never come Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high so I'm begging you Before it ends just tell me where to begin What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay Give me room to lay the law and let me go I've got to make a play To make my lover stay So what would an angel say the devil wants to know What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love "In the end, only kindness matters."

The Night Watch- by King Crimson Shine, shine, the light of good works shine The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime That golden light all grimy now Three hundred years have passed The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast The artist knew their faces well The husbands of his lady friends His creditors and councillors In armour bright, the merchant men Official moments of the guild In poses keen from bygone days The city fathers frozen there Upon the canvas dark with age The smell of paint, a flask of wine And turn those faces all to me The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft And Dutch respectability They make their entrance one by one Defenders of that way of life The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie Guitar lessons for the wife So many years we suffered here Our country racked with Spanish wars Now comes a chance to find ourselves And quiet reigns behind our doors We think about posterity again And so the pride of little men The burghers good and true Still living through the painter's hand Request you all to understand (This was in the days that King Crimson included a member as only a lyricist. The lyricist was Richard Palmer-James who was a founding member of Supertramp We begin again constantly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzNzCiZwk28 After seven days He was quite tired so God said: "Let there be a day Just for picnics, with wine and bread" He gathered up some people he had made Created blankets and laid back in the shade The people sipped their wine And what with God there, they asked him questions Like: do you have to eat Or get your hair cut in heaven? And if your eye got poked out in this life Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife? God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him So he said:"Once there was a boy Who woke up with blue hair To him it was a joy Until he ran out into the warm air He thought of how his friends would come to see; And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?" God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him The people sat waiting Out on their blankets in the garden But God said nothing So someone asked him:"I beg your pardon: I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke What that a parable, or a very subtle joke?" God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him Most people I know never "get" what the message is. You can't comfort the afflicted without afflicting the comfortable. --Princess Diana of Wales

This is a song called 'Music for a Nurse' by the group Oceansize. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ36K58tCd4 And a piece of the pictures bitten right out of the middle I'm alone and thinner I feel Is this a prayer? Anaesthetise me just til you return I feel the loss like a squandered opportunity to whisper You're all I ever needed. Shapes fall into place For once in your life you make A clean breakaway. And did you know that everything you touch is blessed and all the richer For your love a better being And if I display just a fraction of the soul you showed in this world Then I know I'll see you again Love so much to give And too few to share it with Wastes you away. The dream it comes again and again You're here It's you I pull you close and Hold you tight Into the sky you go You go And I can't change it I can't change it. We begin again constantly.

Here's an new/old(remake) song of mine "dead soldier", which sounds sad, till you realize it's about an empty beer bottle. I think it has a soothing reggae feel, tell me what you think http://www.myspace.com/paulferland I also gave "under suspicion" a makeover George Bush, he may lie, steal, cheat, mame, kill, commit fraud, bomb, ignore crucial intelligence, and run the country into the ground, but darn it, he'll keep his suit and tie on!!

Here's an oldie but a goodie, that's been on my mind tonight! I dedicate it to every doctor, therapist, sponsor, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, lawyer, contractor, or other "confidence man"/woman I ever met.... ZAPPA!! The Mystery Man came over An' he said: "I'm outa-site!" He said, for a nominal service charge, I could reach nirvana t'nite If I was ready, willing 'n able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs And devote His Attention to me But I said . . . Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me The Mystery Man got nervous An' he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe An' he whipped out a shaving kit Now, I thought it was a razor An' a can of foamin' goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Afro-dytee An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said: "You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!" An' I said . . . Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now what kind of a guru are you anyway?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me Don't waste yer time . . . I've got troubles of my own, I said An' you can't help me out So take your meditations an' your preparations An' ram it up yer snout "But I got a Crystal Ball!", he said An' held it to the light So I snatched it All away from him An' I showed him how to do it right I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I'd look like I was Deep I said some Mumbo Jumbos then An' told him he was goin' to sleep I robbed his rings An' pocket watch An' everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future then As long as he was hanging around, I said "The price of meat has just gone up An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . " Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?) Don't you know, You could make more money as a butcher, So don't you waste your WASTE on me "In the end, only kindness matters."

Fort, you are probably too old to know that much about Zappa. Be sure to listen to it from home.....he was also a musical genius, as well as a killer satirist. "In the end, only kindness matters."

eh its okay sw...ive always gotten along much better with those older than myself...spent several years in the kanawha rock and gem club, populated by 50+ year old folks...i think i was the only one there under 18 at the time...think i was like 15 actually. ive always said i am a 1000 year old soul trapped in the mind of 60 year old, trapped in the brain of a 30 year old.

Damn, fort! That's one hellofa song!!! Makin' me cry! I can remember a time when I was all, "I can't STAND rap music." Eminem opened up that world for me, and I have just barely put a foot in the door. Thanks for that! Now, over to Sal's to post another oldie, but goodie, for you....... "In the end, only kindness matters."

Yeah fortie is at work, and no my masters do not permit me to view streaming anything. here's a litmust test for determining if fort is at work, if he posts on here after, say, 5:30pm, he is definitely at work hehe I love that song, especially the final verse, it gets me all "riled up". I used to hate all rap music as well, until around 2000, when i heard eminem for the first time when I worked at Ticketmaster and we used to sit out in the parking lot on our breaks and smoke pot in the car. Ever since then i was his #1 fan (besides stan), and have opened up to other artists as well...but of course there is a ton of "crap-rap" out there too that i think is retarded.

Isn't that interesting that it was Eminem that did it for both of us? And then there's Metallica. Same story. "I can't STAND Metal!" Then, I heard "Enter Sandman", and that was all she wrote.! So, If you are at work, then how are you able to post links to Youtube? I don't unnerstand?
Please pass me that joint, my friend! I'd post Little Feat's song about that....but WTF. You can't watch it now! "In the end, only kindness matters."
