    .....not Fair....
    you edited your post goddammmit....one too many m's..... The screen door slams Mary' dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now ? Except roll down the window And let the wind blow Back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind so Mary climb in It's town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win Later kid.....high to Matt

    Dont look up the band...just read the lyrics. I do not condone listening to the makers of this song... There is no hope for you and me Cause this long drive might be [The last time I take the wheel] You're not sure how you feel I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin Over and over it's over but what if we... If we just pretend You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star This isn't right you said It takes some time you know Let's try again tonight This fight is getting old I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin You're young but old enough to build up Falling walls and false love Wish this song would end I wish this song would end You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star We're done tonight We gotta pick it up slowly Can I hear your voice What a perfect story Can I pick you up You can be my star Now the spotlight's on, move close for the final scene You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star good evening to you rrrgrrr...keep on truckin'!!!!!

    .....so bring me back down..... Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over god's world You don't remember when you got your last meal And you forgot just how a woman feels You didn't know what rock n' roll was Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus I got there in the nick of time Before he got his hands across your state line Well in the middle of the night On the open road And the heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're gettin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The music of the street, drive you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got Once bitten twice shy, babe Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat I can't leave you home cos you're runnin' around My best friend told me you're the best trick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet Once bitten twice shy, babe I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record Until a saw your picture on another guy's jacket You told me I was the only one And look at you now, well it's dark as it's dumb Once bitten twice shy, babe

    Here we come in a cloud stars in our eyesStanding up proud it's the perfect disguise We've got so much to give, so much to gain Just give me your money, and I'll give you my pain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor Tries to remember the cause of it all He just gave her a drink so she gave him a ball It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) But I expect you expect a lot from me I can feel your burning need Your greedy seedy Fantasies are guaranteed To make my young heart bleed For you, and your pubescent blues, yes You and your dancin shoes You... And your sad glad news About your boyfriend Stan He's a dirty flirty man And he'll get you if he can, look out Here I stand in a daze axe in my hand Another fool on the stage with a traveling band There's a space in my heart... Permanent flame Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Venus De Milo a statue of note She lays in the gutter, with a knife in her throat Naked as sin no, not even a coat She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Still, I expect you expect a lot from me I know you all The show goes on despite the wrong The strong still rise And the weak still fall This song is up to you All along, you never knew This song Is comin on through To take you for a ride It's tested true and tried Even though it almost lied And we have a merri go round manufacturing plant....go figure... It's a fair exchange...

    not many fair songs...per se I'll ride the rollercoaster or the carousel I like the Spider and the diving bell But since she's gone I don't like so well The ferris wheel I'll ride the Rockoplane or the Tilterwhirl It wasn't on these rides I lost my girl Way up high is where I lost her On a ferris wheel Pretty Ferris Wheel by your colored lights I saw someone steal her kiss from her that ni-ight I'll pay my fair and ride the bumper cars Those turning cars won't make the teardrops start But way up there is where she broke my heart On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel My hometown has a ferris wheel factory, one of just a few in the country. They made Michael Jackson's ferris wheel in his Fantasyland. Big Eli Ferris Wheel Co.

    Bruce, first played live September 2002..... Oh what a thrill.... Every year when summer comes around They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town You can feel somethin' happenin' in the air Well from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill You can see the lights goin' up out in the soldiers' field Gettin' ready for the county fair County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, hey, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top And that rollercoaster's ready to drop And you brag, how you wasn't even scared* Well baby you know I just love the sound Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round Baby down at the county fair** County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin', goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now at the north end of the field, well they set up a stand And they got a little Rock 'N' Roll band The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air Well it's James Young and the Immortal Ones Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums Just rockin' down at the county fair Well county fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town We let the fortune wheel spin around Come on mister, tell me what's waitin' out there On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark Hope I can remember where our car's parked Baby at the county fair Now off down the highway there's the last stream of cars We sit a while in my front yard With the radio playin' soft and low I pull Carol close to my heart And I lean back and stare up at the stars Oh I wish never had to let this moment go

    Well, that about sums it up! I'm somewhere in between the Galleria and "Natural Bridge and Kingshighway" But what about this oldie... When Louis came home to the flat, He hung up his coat and his hat, He gazed all around But no wifey he found So he said "Where can Flossy be at" A note on the table he spied He read it just once then he cried It read 'Louis dear it's toos low for me here So I think I will go for a ride Oh Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair, Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in st. Louis, Louis, Meet me at the fair (Company) Meet me in st. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Road Trip indeed!

    What part of the Midwest is close to Da Buff? Harry got up Dressed all in black Went down to the station And he never came back They found his clothing Scattered somewhere down the track And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning He had a home The love of a girl But men get lost sometimes As years unfurl One day he crossed some line And he was too much in this world But I guess it doesn't matter anymore In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get pretty strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Lying here in the darkness I hear the sirens wail Somebody going to emergency Somebody's going to jail If you find somebody to love in this world You better hang on tooth and nail The wolf is always at the door In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get a little strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute And in these days When darkness falls early And people rush home To the ones they love You better take a fool's advice And take care of your own One day they're here; Next day they're gone I pulled my coat around my shoulders And took a walk down through the park The leaves were falling around me The groaning city in the gathering dark On some solitary rock A desperate lover left his mark, "Baby, I've changed. Please come back." What the head makes cloudy The heart makes very clear The days were so much brighter In the time when she was here But I know there's somebody somewhere Make these dark clouds disappear Until that day, I have to believe I believe, I believe In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute You can get out of the rain In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute

So many trinkets, so many deserved recipients (friends, family, wives, strangers stopping strangers). So little time to do what's right. But we try to fight the fight to the best of our abilities. If we stumble or make a mistake, we pick ourselves back up and do it again... We are humans being... ...and I am Klangstone, somewhat dysfunctional and strange family member/mayor but I miss Jerry, Ron, Keith, Brent and Vince. HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!

sorry, was on autopilot whilst meeting with my union rep and reviewing the fine print of my SD contract.....but I first had to retrieve my spectacles.... Let's see..... Job description dus briver Job requirements buying all my underwear at K Mart, being an excellent briver, have quick ability to react, a sound command of the musical and lyrical landscapes of this great land from sea to shining sea......and a good sense of which way the wind does blow.... Suggested skills sublime coffee making ability....no where does it specify any other potable, potent or not... I can however offer a shot of empathy, compassion, peace, love, understanding and humility....to any and all who choose to accept it.....otherwise it's BYOB....and smoke em if you got 'em. I also offer hugs (not mugs) for people, puppers, and pugs... not drugs.... Klang....bus is way chill...coffee is steaming hot..... Hold on.....let me put a nickel in that jukebox..... And it looks like rain, and it feels like rain.....Oooohhhh here comes the rain...... and thank you Totes.....I get my love at home..... Mr. MD......back to the mines...... Oh yeah....Lovin' is what I got......it's sublime.... Sorry Klanger, got so caught up in my own sh*t....I forgot to say..... I know (disaffectedly)

So I'm sitting here at work, listening to some Jerry and once again I'm reminded why I love his playing so much. The sincerity, tenacity,and authenticity of his playing just floors me sometimes. Every push, pull, slide, or bend of a string means something. Trey better deliver. I'll be smuggling tomatoes into Soldier Field just in I need to add some vegetables to some noodling. I'm hoping for a 3 course meal with dessert though. And them ain't no rotten tomotoes from the back of the dus either, but maybe some leftover picnic goodies. Like Ma always says, waste not, want not. Home is where the heart is.

Totes, you look ravishing this fine morning..... Hit me with a double shot of your fine brew.... The hint of hazelnut is floating my boat right about now.... Spent last night reminiscing with long lost friends, and ex's (not from Texas) and singin... Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance forever and a day.... We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days..... They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air I'm leaving soon, the others are already there You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here They say the west is nice this time of year, that's what they say Hey Stella....love your Moontan ....

I was at that Nassau Run! I'll check it out. I read your previous post as well as Mad Swan,...I would have grabbed the 7/3 myself, however I'm strapped. Like Mad Swan, My second oldest is graduating on 6/18. So Congrats Swan, It's absolutely a milestone. However, less than a week after that I'm heading to California and have to watch all of my Guineas,..or there will be none left to clink! I sometimes wish this was happening next year for budget reasons,..but then I may not have met everyone, so I just keep telling myself, It'll all be OK!! GOB will provide! LOL.

Thank goobness for faith and tenacity though!

Out on the road I chanced to see a car (not a cadillac) with a Dead emblem on it, and I wanted to send them a greeting (our car being "straight"). It occurred to me that we should have a hand signal to identify kindred spirits. Something obvious, as a salute between Heads. Would it work to make a Jerry-hand, to raise the hand with the middle finger kept half way down? And then the symbolism hit me: that gesture is the opposite of the signal you would send by raising the middle finger toward another person.

Hey Mr. MD - Your hometown boy over-ate last night. Had a triple serving of the Peking Duck but no worries; he's doing great. Just a little indigestion so no medical treatment required. Yes - speedy recovery to JPB (eat more kale). Congrads to the dads of grads. HBD spring bee.

Hockey sticks, chop sticks...pick up sticks.. That team is a machine, and a pleasure to watch even in their losses.... Best 7 game series I've seen in years... Have a restful Sunday.... After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine. After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream. We're gonna cause talk and suspicion; We're gonna give an exhibition. We're gonna find out what it is all about. After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down. missing me some oven roasted JJ kale.....

Looks like Bobby cleaned up his grill a bit and trimmed his lettuce... He was looking a bit like Gabby Hayes back in '14.... Good for Bobby....

I admit I am usually distracted,..seems I have to fit 27 hours into 24 everyday,..I don't know how I overlooked Tami's Birthday,..so,...(drumroll please...) Happy Birthday!!!! 40 was a blast for me, I'm sure it will be great for you,..Enjoy The Ride!! What a great Day here today,. I spent it with my youngest,, Mollie,..She's something else, and not graduating for two more years, so I get to play catch up $$ next year. I had two in a row with the Boys (Teagan,.and Brody),.. but next June should be calm. :) Hope everyone had a great Day! Nighty Night.

Hey to all happy June 1 to come....How many sleeps away does that make it until our collective dreams come real? Need totem or rgggrr to keep it all straight. I feel so un ready for it all- is there a packing spreadsheet somewhere out there for these trips? Need a list, I'm so dependent on it now. Tony??? Stella drink your water girl... We all need to increase our ability to hold our liquids, training days are ahead- our bladders need a wake up call for the amount of fluid we might imbide, fermented or otherwise. Night night Moon and ALL

As "they" say, 40 is the new 20 so you'll be able to drink legally in only a year's time. We'll get you a fake ID for FTW. You can't wear a pastafarian colander on your head for the ID photo, by Gob, but you can wear a tinfoil hat. Enjoy the celebration!

morning kids....welcome to the working week...I know it don't thrill ya, I hope it don't kill ya... less than one month to SC and a bit more to Chitown Coffee is on...breakfast blend and a double dark roast... time to put a nickel in that jukebox.... There are people in your life who've come and gone, They let you down, you know they've hurt your pride. You better put it behind you; 'cause life goes on. You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside..... I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter but my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter but I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness even if, even if you don't love me anymore.
