    Sarge play it nice and easy for Toterooski!!!! In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running round The winter was so hard and cold froze ten feet neath the ground Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me I sat down to my supper T'was a bottle of red whiskey I said my prayers and went to bed That's the last they saw of me Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me When I awoke, the Dire Wolf Six hundred pounds of sin Was grinnin at my window All I said was "come on in" Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me The wolf came in, I got my cards We sat down for a game I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades but the cards were all the same Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me In the backwash of Fennario The black and bloody mire The Dire Wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me

    The bottom line's been snortedThe bottom card's been dealt No one knows like you know right now How truly bad it felt All your life you wasted On dreamin' about the day, Worker bees kill off their queen and carry all her eggs away Oh and if you die fearin' God And painfully employed You will not go to heaven, You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Up north in Chicago Where booze makes no one blush Memories come back to you In a double bourbon rush But memories aren't all bad Yeah and neither, my friend, are you there is an argument there must be some heaven left for hearts that are half true Oh and if you spend your whole life Driving horses into Troy You will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Roll on blacktop highway In circles towards the sun Springfield's in the distance, and that's the last big one After that comes judgment, Yeah and judgment will be swift You will be eliminated, But here's a parting gift: Oh and if you die fearing God And painfully employed No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois

    Poster Gewee has given a REALLY good rundown on Chicago points of interest in the 'Guide to Chicago' thread. A good list of places to eat (including the vegan recommendations that I couldn't give rgr.) I'd take the poster down the line, MissReddin, with a grain of salt; there is a CLARK COUNTY in Illinois, but that's a way's away in Southern Illinois. Chicago is in COOK County.

    @One More Day...
    I find myself alive.... One more day to patch my sails, and shine my rails... Packing list is ready.... On my way to the mines Coffe is brewed.... Happy Hump Day...so hump like theres no tomorrow and now for the final time...Supper IS Ready Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. ...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. ...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. I've been so far from here, Far from your warm arms. It's good to feel you again, It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? [The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man] I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. You, can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snug and warm. [Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men] Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground, Waiting for battle. The fight's begun, they've been released. Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 'Cos I cannot contain my emotion. And even though I'm feeling good, Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. [How Dare I Be So Beautiful?] Wandering through the chaos the battle has left, We climb up a mountain of human flesh, To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. A young figure sits still by a pool, He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. (He is you) Social Security took care of this lad. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower? [Willow Farm] If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, like the fox on the rocks, and the musical box. Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, and everyone's happy to be here. There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird. (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, and wonderfully clean in the morning. We've got everything, we're growing everything, We've got some in We've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone, you name them all, We've had them here, And the real stars are still to appear. ALL CHANGE! Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball. Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, You're all full of ball. Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now. And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. You've been here all the time, Like it or not, like what you got, You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!). So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang and all of us fit in our places. [Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)] With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, I've been so far from here, Far from your loving arms, Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. [As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)] Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night, Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home. There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice, "This is the supper of the mighty one", Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Has returned to lead his children home, To take them to the new Jerusalem.

OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus. It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this: "MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"

Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son. grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?

Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails... I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that. I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry. My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;) "And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to" - Shovels and Rope Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows! Am I right?

Cuz the vandals took the handles. When will we learn this never works. Just sucks and riding out the rage. This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far. All that gone. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name

Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum. Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast. We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-) Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment.... If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down... And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.

I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following: 1) Remove picture from profile. 2) Do not add new picture. 3) Close your computer down. 4) Click your heels three times. 5) Turn your computer on again. 6) Wait 48 hours. 7) Add profile picture. It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place. Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway. Disclaimer: Void where prohibited, not valid in states with snow, results may differ, and objects in mirror may be closer than you think...allow 46 weeks for delivery. all the best....and good luck geo

Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos. Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless! Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
