    @What purpose do Thursdays serve anyway?
    Ooooh the water, I hope it don't rain on me.... Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge South Carolina put out its arms for me Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge Well I never will get over this English refugee Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisian rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

    @ The Dance
    heartbreaking song... Do you wanna dance, and hold my hand? Tell me you're my lover man. Oh baby, do you wanna dance? We could dance under the moonlight, hug and kiss all through the night. Oh baby, tell me, do you wanna dance with me baby? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby? Ah, that's right, ah, ah, aaaaaaaah. Do you want to dance under the moonlight? Hug me, kiss me, baby, all through the night. Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me, do you want to dance? Oh, do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby? You got to dance with me baby. Please dance with me baby additional lyrics from the quadrophonic version Tonight you, you got to dance with me baby. Please, please, please dance with me baby. Please, please, please, please dance with me baby. Please, you got to . . . At least the hard part is over, for me at least. Going downhill on the hump till we slide into the weekend. Thanks for keepin the dream alive. We're floating together on an endless river...on a makeshift raft.

    @Too close for comfort....
    Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance

    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for the place to go Where they play the right music, getting in the swing You come in to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music, everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance... You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave them burning and then you're gone Looking out for another, anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance... You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen [fade]

    Have you seen her? So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease. And I feel her from across the room. Yes, it's love in the third degree. Ooh, baby, baby. Won'tcha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, baby. Come on, take a chance. You're old enough to dance the night away. Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away. A live wire. Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go. She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows. Ooh, baby, baby. Won'tcha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, baby. Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away. Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away. Dance the night away. Dance, dance, dance the night away.

    @ I'm Gonna Dance
    She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's nightShe was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight I could feel her coming from a mile away There was no use talking, there was nothing to say When the band began to play and play And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls But when I saw her smile across a crowded room, yeah Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon As the band began to play out of tune And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced, yeah and we danced The endless beat, she's walkin' my way Hear the music fade when she says Are we getting too close, do we care to get closer The room is spinning as she whispers my name And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced, danced, danced And we danced and we danced And we danced, oh baby And we danced, danced, danced Oh and we danced

Can't speak for Kris, never met the man......but grew up in Queens, had beers with Joey and their second drummer Marky Bell aka Ramone at CBGB after Tommy left....low maintenance....and chill....did not take themselves seriously at all. In my mind there is no cage match Katniss.... All Gods children sing in the choir, some sing low and some sing higher.... Let's all beat on the brat with a baseball bat with Sunday morning coming down..... I miss Joey, Johnny and Tommy beddie bye Boze time here..... It's a Blitzkrieg Bop....

Even if the pretty b*tch does have me dragging flats of plants in & out the damn garage. I'm patient for July; I love Spring with her lilacs, sugar-magnolias, green-grass perfume and a driveway overflowing with the spoils of one's greenhouse hunts. Life's too short to wish it away.

I was told June 10th or thereabouts by GDTSTOO in early March shortly after the TM debacle...they "wanted people to have tickets in hand by mid June" but it's all assumption until one of us gets them

As Mayor I have only one request from you. Don't wear the hot pants. They didn't go over so well last time. Mr. Haney's ex got just a little bit too excited and the town meeting REALLY got out of hand as a result. We don't want that again, so please...no hot pants. Another election already???? Man time is accelerating at an alarming rate...
