@ Brand New Drug

Ain't got no trouble in my life No foolish dream to make me cry I'm never frightened or worried You know I always get by. I heat up I cool down Something gets in my way I go around it Don't let life get me down Gonna take it the way that I found it I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me You say that life is a circle But that ain't the way that I found it Oh...Gonna move in a straight line Keeping my feet firmly on the ground I heat up I cool down I got words in my head so I sing them Don't let life get me down I can't hold onto the blues so I play them I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me I've got the music in me

@ Everything Counts In Large Amounts

Gotta keep on floating down the river... Division is confusion It can drive you up a wall Like any good illusion It ain't anything at all One was always fine before We figured out how to get one more Now it's another and another Still we ain't got nothing at all Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up The lines we draw between things But there's a wall around my heart Talk to climb the big things And still I don't know where to start Fallen angel?s making plans Breaking deals and shaking hands Build it up and you hope that it stands Out further and further apart Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up

@ POST 4,000!!!!

jumpin the gun cause I want to be # 4,000 In the year 2525, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today In the year 4545 You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to chew Nobody's gonna look at you In the year 5555 Your arms hangin' limp at your sides Your legs got nothin' to do Some machine's doin' that for you In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long glass tube In the year 7510 If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say "Guess it's time for the Judgement Day" In the year 8510 God is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down, and start again In the year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

@ Happy Friday

What a gorgeous day it is here in STL. Sun is shining, nice cool air and things seem to be pretty calm in the city. When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow, keep your head together and call my name out loud. Soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there. Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, but don't you let them. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

Than on the road, every day! On the road again - with my family of my chosen friends Every time we see a fallen tree we just gather firewood for our next meal. Coffee every morning. Starlight every night. No. No where. I'd rather be than here now with you. I'm so happy the freon fiasco is done. Can I hang my head out the window? Maybe it'll blow away this headache.

@Candle in the Wind....

Stick your head out the window....it will all blow away... Caffeine cures migraines.... Stella....it's a good day....from mornin' til night! Eyes on the road, hands upon the wheel! Oh, a roadhouse up ahead..... What shall we do?

@karma

Good karma came to klowns and klangs this morning. Anyone see Cassaundra around here today? She get off the bus or did she not get on this morning? We need a navigator, rrrrgrrrr is driving this thing the wrong direction! Chicago is East. Hey driver! East is thataway!

Can someone change the tunes please?

It's time for those halcyon glowing lyrical tunes - make us grateful to be with each other but mellow enough for an afternoon catnap. Some of the 20-year old road trip staples (besides the dead and dylan) I happened to have on cassette when I drove down to Baja from BC were Joni Mitchell and Cat Stevens. Per exemple. A mix would be sweet.

yeah

Whoever is controlling the music, me like me some Jim Croce too!

Then BD, fathers day, SC, DSO, AT, FTW, AT, FTW, AT, FTW, AT. Before all this an upcoming DSO show was enough to get me excited. It’s musical and magical. Ho Gawks. Never done the first post of the day before. Not trying to steal thunder. Steal lightning…different story.

Beautiful morning

Coffee, tea, me? No working man, today...well maybe a little. The eggs have some smooth cream and some spicy chipotle Cholula. Lovely day for a roadking ride, but today legs are turning pedals instead. Getting ready for the Death Ride in July. The month of the Dead in more ways than one. Get yer great buzz on today, peeps, and enjoy every drop!

Ringin' that blue bell...

very pretty day here in the nw suburbs of lovely chicaogoland (yes, "chicagoland" is a thing they say 'round here), and we're glad to be alive. gratefully, it's the garden for me today! i get to dig in the dirt and plant stuff. for me, there is nothing better. sunshine daydreams to y'all !

Coffee and breakfast in bed

Dead playing...can this Saturday get any better?!?!?

@Good morning Lisa

Toiling in the back 40....67 degrees sunny nary a cloud... Dave Nelson and John Dawson spinning on da old Victrola.... Back to searching all the joints in town.... Peace from Paradise!

Not Fade A...

Won't our love, like all things, "..slowly too fade away.."? Everything physical will change, given enough time. But what of the non-physical? That's a different matter (if you will). The force of the will, through recognition, commitment, and renewal creates a shared mindset which can endure, unchanged by time. For the Love to Not Fade Away, the necessary and sufficient condition is our believing that it will be so. A better description might be not faith away.

@Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...faith no more?

Very Gracefully said Tom....and a good Sunday morning to you... Coffee is on ...bagels are fresh, have plain and veggie cream cheese, butter and lox.... The wheels on the bus go round and round....and we are one day closer to Santa Clara and Chicago....and death... Our virtual kinship remains intact, for now.....like family we laugh together, reminisce together, get on each other's nerves, and then make peace...I fear the things that keep us on the bus will be but a memory in but a month....for its the sojourn not the sojourner....with that said, let's savor every minute...carpe diem kids.. And now on K DED, going out by special request for our Mayor....Jim Croce.... Photographs and memories Christmas cards you sent to me All that I have are these To remember you Memories that come at night Take me to another time Back to a happier day When I called you mine But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then Summer skies and lullabies Nights we couldn't say good-bye And of all of the things that we knew Not a dream survived Photographs and memories All the love you gave to me Somehow it just can't be true That's all I've left of you But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP

GM PEEPS !!!

What beautiful Sunday morning messages.....thanks all - SPECTACULAR !!! And we finally had a tripple-crown winner yesterday....way cool :-) Meanwhile, everyone PLEASE check your email for the weekend update - thanks !!

Happy Sun Day Dreamers

Good afternoon and late morning Sunshine Daydreamers! All the sounds of the earth are like music, The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree, And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me. My oh my 2 weeks, 6 days, 8 hours the sun shines in our backdoor in Santa Clara. 3 weeks, days, and 6 hours we wrap our arms Soldier Field like a ring around the sun! Patch your sails and shine the rails!

@laughing trees....

Totes..trust me.....they make meds for that problem.... SD'ers get free psychiatric care... call now 1(800) NOVOICES..... Mr. MD..... Have a great day....can always count on Kyle!

No voices?

Doesn't it get lonely in there?

@Major Tom....

.....is there anybody out there?.....

The Lunatic is on the Grass

Got to keep the loonies on the path

@#88

Looks like we have a series on our hands....Just put the broom away.... Isn't it ironic....it's like rain, eh? we are full circle back to the dreaded path....seems like March again.... You know what....we are the loonies...and....we gotta stay on the path.... The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. C'mon Toto....let's check out the Darkside.....got myself a different tune to play...... and I know how the song goes....

The Seven

Too good to stop at 4. Seven takes us closer to SC; the days between. The path is the daily struggle. The grass feels better under foot. But is it really greener on the other side?

@the

Yessir....

@green is the colour....

Yessir....I looked over the fence....and the grass is indeed greener.... right Henry? AND NOW HE’S ROLLIN’ DOWN THE MOUNTAIN GOING FAST, FAST, FAST AND IF HE BLOWS IT THIS ONE’S GONNA BE HIS LAST RUN TO ACAPUCO TO TURN THE GOLDEN KEYS HENRY KEEP THE BRAKES ON FOR THIS CORNER IF YOU PLEASE

@the grass is...

sorry, I repeat myself when under stress....and this laptop has greazy keys that stick.... See previous post ;-) Like back in time.....

@Stress

Back to the chicken stand, bro.

@Back in time

On July 6, meet me at July 5. Repeat each July 6.

@Dont it make you wanna Rock and Roll....

Pardon the interruption in all Jim Croce radio all the time on K DED.... But as we get closer to Tijuana...all I got is mariachi static on my radio..... And the tubes they glow in the dark.... I'm on a Mexican Radio..... (Shameless old MTV plug...) ....all night long.....

@Mexican Radio

Had a fierce high school crush on Martha Quinn.

@J J Johnson...

Thank Gobd.... I always gravitated to Mark Goodman.... signed, Epstein's mother

No comprende, it's a riddle

...I hear the talking of the dj Can't understand just what does he say?

@ no sabe....

.....as my organic chemistry TA at NYU said in 1977 to the question, " Harry what does it mean?" In his best broken Greek, offered... "what sits on roof goes Meow?".... Now back to K DED.....by special request..... .....I was lost, I was gone....and listening to Levon..... I was looking at her, but I was listening to Levon......
