    @ let's not talk about next week....
    its too early for that kinda talk (it it very true however) It's gonna be like the day after christmas depression times a million! No NO NO NOOOOO not there yet...not looking forward to it either...cant we make it last forever? Anyway Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots And a helter skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure Arabella's got a 70's head But she's a modern lover It's an exploration, she's made of outer space And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure That's magic in a cheetah print coat Just a slip underneath it I hope Asking if I can have one of those Organic cigarettes that she smokes Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke Makes you wish that you were the bottle Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like… Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

    I had to listen to that one...makes me giggle I come from St. Louis via a small town in cental Illinois. I've been collecting tunes in my head all my life. I used to sleep with a classic rock radio station on when I was in elementary school. Every time I leave You say you won't be there. And you're always there. Every time I cry your name at night, you pull close and say it's alright. I look in your eyes, just like the rain. Washing me, rain wash over me. Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream. What you do to me! Waited so long I can't wait another day without you. Jet City Woman. It's a long way, home to my Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind. Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking, there's a part missing from my life. Wonder where I'd be without your love holding me together now I'm watching the time tick, tick away. Face grows longer every day. Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen but without you I can't breathe! You're the air to me! Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you. Jet City Woman. Got to find my way home to her. Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere I look! Jet City Woman. Just a thousand miles and I'll be there Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away. Time for some blue sky! Waited so long now the plane's delayed and hour, reminds me of all our days apart. Hold on, just a little longer. Jet City Woman. Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me. Jet City Woman. Eyes like the rain, rain down on me. Jet City Woman. No more nights alone I'm almost home now. Jet City Woman. Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.

    If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alonedon't spend all your money on just any honey that's grown. Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home. They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name. She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade. Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades. Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy. Said, keep your hands on the wheel there. Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it? Now, ya got it! Hand me another one of them brews from back there. Oh, this is gonna be so good. Mm, she's hot as a pepper but smooth as a Mexican brew. So head for the border and put in an order or two. The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you. Oh, one more time, can you roll me another Bull Durham, please? Can't you do it with one hand, boy? your amigo....Babalooie! Damn where did this briver come from? Grinnin ear to ear here, just me n Beyoncé Shock, awe and man you got street cred for a country girl.... I repeat...I am not worthy!

    Celebration kicks off at 1630 hours I got 5 on it... plus My mother went away for a month-long trip Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship She made a big mistake by leaving me home I had to roam so I picked up the phone Dialed Ali up to see what was going down Told him I pick him up so we could drive around Took the Dodge Dart, a '74 My mother left a yard but I needed one more Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit Came to a toll, we paid and went through it Had no destination, we was on a quest Ali laid in the back so he could get rest Drove down the road for two-days-and-a-half The sun had just risen on a dusty path Just then a figure had caught my eye A man with a sombrero who was four feet high I pulled over to ask were we was at His index finger he tipped up his hat "El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro If you need directions, I'll tell you pronto" Needed civilization, some sort of reservation He said a mile south, there's a fast food station Thanks, senor, as I start up the motor Ali said, "Damn, Tip, why you drive so far for?" (Well describe to me what the wallet looks like) Anyway a gas station we passed We got gas and went on to get grub It was a nice little pub in the middle of nowhere Anywhere would have been better I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em Ali had the fruit punch When we finished we thought for ways to get back I had a hunch Ali said, "Pay for lunch" So I did it Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful lady She was a waitress there Put the wallet down and stared and stared To put me back into reality, here's Shaheed: "Yo, Tip, man, you got what you need?" I checked for keys and started to step What do you know, my wallet I forget Yo, it was a brown wallet, it had props numbers Had my jimmy hats I got to get it man Lord, have mercy The heat got hotter, Ali stars to curse me I fell bad but he makes me feel badder Chit-chit-chatter, car stars to scatter Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound Jettin' on down at the seepd of sound Three days coming and three more going We get back and there was no slack 490 Madison, we're here, Sha He said, "All right, Tip, see you tomorrow" Thinking about the past week, the last week Hands go in my pocket, I can't speak Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack Of Shaheed, "We gotta go back" when he said "Why?" I said, "We gotta go 'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo" Yeah, I left my wallet in El Segundo Left my wallet in El Segundo Left my wallet in El Segundo I gotta get, I got-got ta get it

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...
