I been around the world I've seen a million girls Ain't one of them got What my lady she got She stealin' the spotlight Knocks me of my feet She's enough to start a landslide Just a walkin' down the street Wearin' dresses so tight And lookin' dynamite About to blow me out No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm She's like a lethal brand Too much for any man She gives me first degree She really satisfy me Love me till I'm legless Achin' and sore Enough to stop a freight train Or start the third world war You know I'm losin' sleep But I'm in too deep Like a body needs blood No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm You know she move like sin And when she let me in It's like liquid love No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm You know she really got the rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock 'n' roll rhythm) The girls got rhythm rrrrrgrrrrr has lost his mind.....Sarge has left the building.....

    I am a changed person
    After meeting the SD group in person and experiencing the best concert experience I have ever been to, I have to admit I am the better man for it. So many kind people, so much coolness and kindness and love. I am the better man for it. So many amazing things went down, the vibe was one I have never felt before. So for someone to say that any of these were not Grateful Dead shows, it's all bullshit. I was there, man, it was the dead in just about every aspect, in some ways it was way better than the mid-nineties scene. When I hear about people (like that jackass Terry Boers) bashing on this band or the event in general, I just laugh. Some people just don't get it. I get it, and I got it 10-fold at FTW, a fantastic spectacle it was... I am so blessed to have been part of it...

    Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here in STL ...it looks like rain. Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart

    I'm moving through some changes I'll never be the same Something you did touched me There's no one else to blame The love we had has fallen The love we used to share We've given up pretending As if you didn't care Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes I look into the mirror I see no happiness All the warmth I gave you Has turned to emptiness The love we had has fallen The love we used to share You've left me here believing In love that wasn't there Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word can bring you round Changes But when I look into your eyes and try to find out how There's no way to save it now and everything I feel Changes Keep looking for Changes Changes For some reason you're questioning why I always believe it gets better One difference between you and I Your heart is inside your head One word from you, one word from me A clear design on your liberty Who could believe when love has gone How we move on like everyone Only such fools Only such jealous hearts Only through love changes come Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes One road to loneliness It's always the same One road to happiness It's calling your name Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word, one word can bring you round Changes YES!

    found the LP for 25 cents back in 1980..... In my top 5 ever since.....along with Abbey Road, Layla....and two others..... Stan, I think we are Siamese twins separated at birth.... I was standing by the window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For that body you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go Well I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in that grave I went back home Lord that home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone

Well. I don't want to speed up the wheel, but I'm not gonna lie, between the daily grind and the anticipation, it would be cool if we were in Chicago already... quite a bind, and a little confusing if I try to grasp it. I think I'll just let it go and go DRINK SOME WATER Tami. Thank you sis, for the tip ;) Also the moon is starting to show her face again, so things will be smoothing out again, if any of you were wondering why the wheels have felt so wonky lately :)

"...sounds which began as mere noise, like tom-toms and thundering gongs, savage, fanatical, ritual, end by arriving at the purest music." Yes! This is from Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann. He goes on to describe an artistic work that had the “urge to reveal in the language of music the most hidden things, the beast in man as well as his most sublime stirrings”.

Happy weekend all Coffee's ready, just the way I do it, like an oil-worker's boot dipped in storm water runoff. Taking the better half on an overnight date to see Garrison Keillor do his Prairie Home Companion show at Wolf Trap. Shakedown scene to include Powder Milk Biscuits and ketchup! Promised her I would not mention the Dead for 48hrs, the woman needs a respite from my madness.

Good morning all... As our esteemed dus briving coffee cranking and radio dial twirling captain is off on an adventure, I'll take a quick hand at the wheel...turn up the bass you say? Why sure! Over that away you'll see the amber waves of grain, back to your left you might see if you are looking closely some purple mountain majesties, up above are those spacious skies and just in front are the fruited plains...pretty country isn't it? Let's honor those who gave their lives for our country, this weekend especially, but always keep their spirit alive in our hearts. We salute you, we appreciate you and we lift a glass in your honor! Now let's have some of that hash-slinging, lyric-dropping, free-wheeling banter, as we continue the journey already in progress... Cheerio!

So glad we look out for each other on our cosmic climb to Chicago...great choice of coffee...the wavy gravy rainbow blend is interesting....thought for a minute I saw Faye Wray but then I happened upon my spectacles.... Giving thanks for our great land, those who chose to defend it and those who were forced to do so.... Funny how we as a nation often take these things for granted and tomorrow is not just another one of those Monday days off.... Think I'll take a seat over by that big guy in the monkey suit, hey buddy will ya pass me a banana? Goes good with the donuts and coffee....thanks for the time away General Geo.... Watch out for that tree! Hey Boo Boo, Magilla over here just said "I know"....(disaffectedly)

Dear Chicago FTW, I have received my itinerary for FTW. All your arrows and circles and exclamation points suggest I will be somewhere and everywhere at all times. The FTW weekend promises to be completely epic. Thank you Billy for the invitation. I have received it and thank you Devils Friend for the book. As I romp around this room I see Tami, and fontsman, and rrrrrgrrrr, geo, and stella, and the Doktor, Dire, the mayor, and every Daydreamer there ever was; same as it ever was. Everyone has their Buzzzzz onnnnn. Water flowing underground. Ya just gotta buzz-around. I am high-steppin' into Sweet Home Chicago on Thursday. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. I'm on a mission from Gob. Thank you Chicago FTW for providing me sleep time in the schedule 3 of the 4 nights I am in town. I will believe it when I sleep it! I meet the Queen at noon for the Daydreamer fancy hat contest. New contest? I have the perfect prize. Buzzzzzzz onnnnnnnnn!

Finally, at the newBee....dont know if you looked in the mirror lately grrrrrllllll but it certainly looks like your buzzin' buddy misses Jerry or needs an antidepressant or somethin'....adderal perhaps?...at least compared to Totes' dancin'fool of a Bumble... and thanks for the musical suggestion....let me tune the dial just exactly perfect....no.....little more bass...now ahhhhhhh...thats it... just sing along with Mr. Mayor and follow the buzzin' bee.... Life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static, I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example, take a t-t-t-t-tip from me Take all of your money, give it all to charity.... Lovin' is What I Got.... Now, I ask you...isn't that just sublime ;-)

Corporate office is in Roc town, I will look there, I neglected to mention the smores, did you find the black and tan? went to pick up a quart and it was gone! grabbed a stockboy and he tells me it is discontinued, not by manufacturer, but by Danny the W. Had him clean out the back for 5 quarts, I would bring to pic-a-nic, but the ice cream doesn't travel well.
