    Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time There go the street lights bringin on the night Here come the men faces hidden from the light All through the shadows they come and they go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop When it all gets too heavy That's when they come and go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline On the blue blood streets of Boston Up in Berkeley and out in Queens And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine And he's walking the streets for Nancy And he'll find her everytime When the street light flicker bringing on the night Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight All through the midnight Watch 'em come and watch 'em go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below

    Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. [Chorus:] And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Baby, be a simple kind of man. Oh won't you do this for me son, If you can? Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. [Chorus] Boy, don't you worry. You'll find yourself. Follow your heart, And nothing else. You can do this, If you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. [Chorus] Baby, be a simple, be a simple man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man

    @ Have Mercy
    I was cutting the rug Down at a place called The Jug With a girl named Linda Lu When in walked a man With a gun in his hand And he was looking for you know who. He said, "Hey there fellow, With the hair colored yellow, Watcha tryin' to prove? 'Cause that's my woman there And I'm a man who cares And this might be all for you." I was scared and fearing for my life. I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. 'Cause he was lean, mean, Big and bad, Lord, Pointin' that gun at me. I said, "Wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her. Don't want no trouble with you. And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me Ask one favor from you." [Chorus] "Won't you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister, Gimme three steps towards the door? Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister, And you'll never see me no more." Well the crowd cleared away And I began to pray As the water fell on the floor. And I'm telling you son, Well, it ain't no fun Staring straight down a forty-four. Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu And that's the break I was looking for. And you could hear me screaming a mile away As I was headed out towards the door yes, please...

    Hey buddy, I agree. I am a changed person as well. I met up with you folks to try to get a taste of the vibe and I got a whole soul full! Those talking trash obviously are not as attune to the cosmic vibrations reverberating through Chicago that weekend as we. Well I used to wake the mornin' Before the rooster crowed Searchin' for soda bottles To get myself some dough Brought 'em down to the corner Down to the country store Cash 'em in and give my money To a man named Curtis Lowe [Verse 2] Old Curt was a black man With white curly hair When he had a fifth of wine He did not have a care He used to own an old Dobro Used to play across his knee I'd give old Curt my money He'd play all day for me [Chorus] Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe Well I got your drinkin' money Tune up your Dobro People said he was a'useless Them people all were fools 'Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker To ever play the blues [Verse 3] Well he looked to be 60 Maybe I was 10 Momma used to whoop me But I'd go see him again I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet Tryin' to stay in time Well he'd play me a song or two Then take another drink of wine [Chorus] Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe Well I got your drinkin' money Tune up your Dobro People said he was a'useless Them people all were fools 'Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker To ever play the blues [Verse 4] On the day old Curtis died Nobody came to pray Old preacher said some words And they chucked him in the clay Well he lived a lifetime Playin' the black man's blues And on the day he lost his life That's all he had to lose [Chorus w/alternate ending] Play me a song Curtis Lowe, yeah Curtis Lowe I wish that you was here So everyone would know People said you was a'useless But them people all were fools 'Cuz Curtis your the finest picker To ever play the blues

rrrrgrrrr, you reminded me of a wisecrack my classmate made back in the day when Alanis moved on from her Britney phase to boyfriend-bash rock. She said there's actually nothing ironic in Ironic--just replace the words with "isn't it a bummer?" Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but it sure makes me want to have a nice sammie with jarlsberg, avocado and sprouts!

Thanks for contributing the info on the suites. Been thinking lots about the possibilties. So which beers are on tap and what time does Scorsese show up to do lap dances? Guess it's a corporate write off for some? I'd rather dance with the mobs.

Some one wasn't going to win. It was awesome how Wisconsin took Kentucky out. Both teams were special. Now we wait to do it again next year. Being a Minnesota Viking fan since Bud Grant & Joe Kapp, I can relate to the frustrations of being a fan. As for pro football I finally devised a solution. Keep your true feelings secret. Buy A jersey for every team in the league and wear the one from which ever team wins the Super Bowl that year. Every year you get all the shout outs and high fives and none of the ribbing. Usually no one remembers you wore a different jersey last year.

isn't the only place in the USofA to celebrate Dingus, Chi town has a huge Polish population... Dyngus (or Dingus) Day falls on the Monday after Easter. Started in Poland as a way to provide merriment after the seriousness of Lent comes to an end. The tradition began when farm boys in Poland wanted to attract notice from the girls of their choice. It was custom to throw water and hit the girls on their legs with twigs or pussywillows. Cologne was used instead of water by the more gallant lads. The ladies would reciprocate by throwing dishes & crockery and Tuesday was their day of revenge, imitating the same tactics.
