    Think he may be closer to here..... Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there I wish I had you, to talk to If a man ever needed dying he did No one had a right to say what he said about you And it's so cold and lonely here without you Out there the law is coming I've been so tired of running [Chorus] It hurts to see the man that I've become To know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land I'll never see your smiling face or touch your hand If just once more I could see You, our home and our little baby I hope this letter finds it's way to you Forgive me love for the shame I've put you through and all the tears Hang on love to the memories of those happy years Red lights are flashing around me Good Lord it looks like they found me Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there (This is the police. You are surrounded. Give yourself up)

    @ Hey Kurt
    nice of you to say hello! The weather here in STL is fantastic! Breezy and in the low 80's. Where in the midwest do you hail from? Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch. Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin', [CHORUS:] Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door. There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels. Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens. [CHORUS] Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo doo. Wond'rous apparition provided by magician. [CHORUS] Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo doo. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows. [CHORUS] Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows

    @which one's Pink?
    Hey now, Miami and I have been in the back seat of bis dus since Chicago, we kinda like it here.....know the territory, enjoy the company and the laughs.... I agree, the lyric thing is often scrolled but the creative interplay and spontaneity can't be beat.....if the consensus is we get a sub forum, so be it, but she and I might just as well get a room and hop off at the next station.....either way...... ein zwei drei So ya Thought ya Might like to Go to the show. To feel that warm thrill of confusion, That space cadet glow. I've got some bad news for you sunshine, Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate band We're gonna find out where you folks really stand. Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get them up against the wall! There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me, Get him up against the wall! That one looks Jewish! And that one's a coon! Who let all of this riff-raff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, And another with spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot! time for a nap..... move over Sarge......

    I second your notion! Or emotion... Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet But only for one night and no repeat And maybe you'll go away and never call And a taste of honey's worse than none at all Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Ooh Maybe you think that love would tie you down And you don't have the time to hang around Maybe you think that love was made for fools And so it makes you wise to break the rules Oh little girl In that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Oh little girl, In that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Oh, little girl I second that emotion [FADES] - Ooh little girl I second that emotion

    @ so, like....
    ...this is sounding like the ol song and dance routine...which has always been an intricate part of the Grateful Dead scene. Sometimes I quickly scroll through the lyrics, sometimes I slow down and read them...either way, I'd rather not have to change buses to do that... I vote we keep it all together in one thread. We can sing, talk, dance, and otherwise entertain ourselves very nicely here....now, about that quick brown fox and the lazy dog... geothreedotjournalismrocksmeister

LOL. I used to live on Lake Erie. You should see the little ponds they call lakes down here. I'm always like, that is not a lake, that's a retention pond! Hotdogs ain't nothin' but beef, lips, and assholes no matter what kind of fancy Chicago toppings you put on it! I do like catsup on my turkey dogs though. :P

I take it those were out of my price range I gave you guys...looks like some of us ticketless are filing in. Glad you guys got something. I will keep playing the waiting game and see what happens. So far not too worried anymore, if it happens, it happens, if not; meh, how does the line go? I will survive...who said this would be Touch of Grey x 10? (so true)

Um seeing as I am from north of the border, I can't bring - ahem - anything special to the party, however I CAN bring some honest to goodness Canadian snow...still lots of it around and at this rate (and knowing where I live) still should be come July! (kidding - it will all be gone by at the latest late June)

you kids in upstate NY have it sometimes worse than us - granted it is way colder where I am, but that is a function of the fact I live near the g'd arctic circle...f-you Saskatchewan (how do you spell or say that again?!?). Nothing sends a chill through the spine of someone living near the great lakes like the term 'lake effect snow' read - utter hell and massive accumulations. I grew up near D-town and typically got around 10 to 15 ft of accumulation every winter...just mother nature took mercy on us and got rid of it by say early May...Where I am now, she just flips the bird at us and says "suck it up buttercup"

I do not miss the stiff wind and ball-shrinking wind chill blowing onshore from Lake Erie. Eh, rrrrrgrrrr? The only buttercups ever sucked up was my ball sack into my body cavity. I say Eh? because I could see Canada most days from some point. The only difference between Buffalonians and Canadians is, well there is none except the accent. Eh? But, Labatts Blue is not considered an import there like it is here. I love your beer Canada! At least I don't have to deal with all those Canadian quarters in my pocket anymore. Does this have anything to do with SSD planning? By Friday, my mind just turns to mush. Sorry for the rambling. I think my frantic Friday ramblings scared clowns off the other forum. p.s. sorry ladies, I'm, pretty sure you didn't need to hear all that ball talk.

EWWWWWW! Do love the green bottles south of the border though...I grew up in the home of Labatt's and only drank it for fear of any friends of mine who worked at the plant seeing me drinking something else...they got PISSED. Anyhoo, we do have coats, but this whole 8 months of winter thing has to end...drives one a bit batty to be honest. Now back to our regular programming - I have lots of ice for our beer and maybe some for margarita mix! AND WE DON'T ALL SAY EH! (actually I do - seemingly only when I travel and people are looking for it, it seems to creep out...weird)

I was just having a stressful battle with bots to get an after party ticket. I blacked out. First vision was Salavador Dali sipping rum on a melted clock wearing pajamas. The second vision, a klown on a mini-bike driving off a cliff yelling "take me home Jerry!" i dunno. got my ticket though.

The rooster did not crow today, but the crow did caw. The shadow on the dark side of the moon points to 97. 97 I say, the remaining time to cleanse the liver, grow some New Mother Nature, and get ourselve's in festival shape so we can once again gather and dance each day aware until the sun demands we celebrate again. That's right ladies and gentlemen, patch those sails and shine those rails! An odyssey lies on the horizon. Look! for it appears far, yet is near. o.k. I think I owed y'll a little more today since I'm late, I'm, I'm late, I'm late. Down the rabbit hole I go again.
