    I miss...
    I miss WXRT, Chicago's Finest Rock. At one time, you could have heard any and all of these tunes in a day's mix from the old 'XRT. The Dead Hour on weekends, the Sunday-night Un-Concert. The award-winning News at Noon. Ken Nordine's Word Jazz, for goodness sakes. They played anything -- absolutely anything that was interesting. Even if it was CRAP, you didn't really care, because they never, ever played the same song twice in one day, sometimes not in the same week or month. Who cares if they played Linda Ronstadt or Spandeux Ballet, as long as they followed it with Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Little Feat or the Cure, eh? (No disrespect to Ms. Ronstadt -- a fine set of pipes if there ever was, so sad to see her lose her voice.) I wouldn't know what the heck a Wild Tchoupitoulas was without WXRT. Then, Westinghouse bought them. Then, CBS bought them. *sigh* The worst part is that it's still the best radio station in Chicago. Great connection to local and live music, but oh, the play list gets old nowadays. Good new stuff (can 'ya say Shakey Graves?) An occasional nugget, but mostly corporate crap, played six or seven times a day. Even great new stuff, like that new Beck tune, is overplayed and old in a week. Most days I don't even bother to turn it on.

    @a little peace of mind...
    Ain't no use to keep taking abuseFrom a friend who isn't kind A friend in need or a friend that you need Who can help you through the troubled times So reach on out and take a hold of my hand And let me know that your ready to go There ain't no dues and you can leave your blues behind And have a little peace peace of mind Give me some peace, Peace of Mind There comes a time when your friends go blind And thier words become diseased They threaten your life with the blade of a knife And set you down upon your needs Make no mistake for your very own sake Heres a little word for now Take off your shoes and let your thoughts be kind And have a little peace, peace of mind Peace Peace of Mind... make us feel better Some folks you find speak a mighty good line They charm you all the way They take you along on a sweet sweet song Then they steal your heart away But blessed be the one who can understand why People have to act that way Cause if I knew I wouldn't even want to say But have a little peace, peace of mind Give me some peace, Peace of Mind Everybody wants Peace, Peace of mind Peace Peace of mind All we need is some... Peace...peace of mind...

    @ but of course
    Yes KDED...but for real on the air, like pirate radio or Mexican Radio If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old-time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see If I could read your mind, love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel The kind the drugstores sell When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero would be me But heroes often fail And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three-way script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me But for now love, let's be real I never thought I could act this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old-time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet But stories always end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand The feelings that you lack I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

    We already do.....K DED is communal...... You meet someone.....stops you DEAD in your tracks.... Just saying.....hit it Sarge...... Don't misunderstand me, though I know that I've been mean Woman can't you see that I'm in need Although we may be far apart In heart and soul we're near My body aches for you to just be here You are every woman in the world to me And every season I go through You are every woman in the world to me Especially when I'm making love to you Like a falling tear drop You can wipe away my blues Live honey you can make the bitter sweet You're a child, a girl, a woman You are everything I'd choose That's why I sing this song to you That's why I sing this song to you

    @ Someday
    We should have our own radio station... I think I may have missed my true calling. Only you know and I know All the love we've got to show So don't refuse to believe it By reading too many meanings 'Cause you know that I mean what I say So don't go and take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way 'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday Now if I sing to mislead you It's just my craziness comin' through But when it comes down to just two I ain't no crazier than you 'Cause you know that I mean what I say So don't go and take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way 'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday Yeah, yeah, yeah, appear to be pleasin' Oh no, no, not deceivin' But it's hard to believe it When you been so mistreated 'Cause you know that I mean what I say So don't go and take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way 'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday Only you know and I know Only you know and I know, oh yeah

    Blasphemy...really Damn music snobs Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind that's running 'round. Butterflies and zebras, fairy tales, That's all she ever thinks about. When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles she gives to me free. Said, "It's all right, take anything you want, Anything you want, anything." First Verse Second Verse Fly on, little wing.

    ....for awhile......then he found a better way....blasphemy here but Derek n the Dominos.....Layla and other assorted Love Songs is my favorite album of all tiime..... and the song I resonate with......to this day..... Have you ever loved a woman So much you tremble in pain? Have you ever loved a woman So much you tremble in pain? And all the time you know She bears another man's name. But you just love that woman So much it's a shame and a sin. You just love that woman So much it's a shame and a sin. But all the time you know She belongs to your very best friend. Have you ever loved a woman And you know you can't leave her alone? Have you ever loved a woman And you know you can't leave her alone? Something deep inside of you Won't let you wreck your best friend's home.

    @ back to Clapton
    You were saying EC was the king... Bell bottom blues, you made me cry. I don't want to lose this feeling. And if I could choose a place to die It would be in your arms. Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it because I don't want to fade away. Give me one more day, please. I don't want to fade away. In your heart I want to stay. It's all wrong, but it's all right. The way that you treat me baby. Once I was strong but I lost the fight. You won't find a better loser. [Chorus 2x] Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye. I'm sure we're gonna meet again, And if we do, don't you be surprised If you find me with another lover. [Chorus] I don't want to fade away. Give me one more day please. I don't want to fade away. In your heart I long to stay.

There is limited availability of 12 and 20 person Sky Suites for the Chicago Fare The Well shows. They are obstructed view but there will be big screens showing the band. The tickets are $200 and you must buy the whole suite. I don't know which dates are available but if you can round up enough buddies to do this it will at least get you in. You can contact them at suites@soldierfield.net and ask for information. Hope this helps!

Like waking up to Mickey and Bill doing their thing. Last drums I saw I'm sure Mickey was playing a rubber chicken at one point, but after the show no one else knew what the he'll I was talking about. Anyone ever see that? . Sometimes the chickens we hear are just birds of own.
