I'm on a roller coaster and need to wipe up some tears (watching that Ani video Geo posted brought me way back <3), and now some sweat of almost-panic... I just read somewhere that they will be printing the Ticketmaster tickets (for Chicago) presently and they'll be mailed out in 10-14 days. Oof. I'm leaving town on a jet train in 15.5 days... More decisions. Not my strong suit. Luckily I heard Box of Rain at work today, but still. What to do? xo ps. YES on the spousal journal. Sissy just sent me hear contribution :)

I just want to rock and roll I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes My feets got to move now Every time I hear the blues time to go and check the mail... and then a much needed lunch...

Please check back to journal- I added Chandra's sister and Jaleel.

that rock and rollis bad for the body, and bad for the soul bad for the heart, bad for the mind bad for the deaf, and bad for the blind it makes some men crazy and they talk like fools it makes some men lazy and then they start to drool...... And some look for tickets

Now Mr. Dus Briver, get us on the on-ramp and merge into that psychedelic convoy headed towards Lake Michigan. Crank up the stereo please. Askin' you nice, now, keep the mother rollin' one more time.......

Roger that....and clean up after the horse.... Welcome back Miller...takes a village you know..... Sarge to 11...... My heart is black, and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights Reins of steel, and it's alright Cities on flame, with rock and roll Marshal will buoy, but Fender control Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll My heart is black, and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU JAMES?

You mean a phsh?

How do you spell fish? Ghoti...that is "gh, as in enough, "o" as in women, and "ti" as in nation. That's my Dad's story, and we're sticking to it. Funny what you remember from 50 years ago... Your results may differ. geojustsayin'meister

Morning Ms. Katniss....and hello to you Sir Stanley, those emerald peepers are hypnotic... Grab a cup of coffee, and some kibble n bits, respectively....Gus and Eddie are meandering around here somewhere....Gus is metrosexual and Ed has dreads.... That Hawks fight song is welcome music as Men Without Hats were a one hit wonder.... Feel free to spin that dial, and more importantly it takes a village to keep the good vibes going....on ba dus... So thanks for hopping back on Kristine...I mean it.... And Poobah...you must have your bucket, cause you carried that tune effortlessly.... Without further ado....Pupper hit B9.... ...it's better than malignant....(oncological humor) I-I love the colorful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop) Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop) Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations) Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes She goes with me to a blossom world .....and Mr. Mayor...congrats....yes you may continue high stepping down funky Broadway in those red, white and blue hot pants....

Like Dok told you, what I said. Standby Buff – The Cup is coming your way. Kaner may let you dump your favorite brew in and take a drink. It’s always better from the Cup. Then on to multiple Moose Lodges across Saskatchewan and the rest of the provinces to our North. All good for Dire and Cain. No Europeans in the group so the schedule for Finland and Slovakia matters less. Totes never accepted my bet and he’s rolling down the track. Hard fought series by the Bolts. Ho Gawks. Back to work. See you at the shows.

Morning! What a cheerful bunch we all are today - I like it! I was going to share my new Shovels and Rope song that's warming up to me, but it's no match for https://youtu.be/AjPau5QYtYs or https://youtu.be/mm24jGBip70 or https://youtu.be/d8rd53WuojE or even https://youtu.be/WKjVy__kvB8 I'll post my other love songs to youz later. xo

Thanks for the congrats StellaC. and rrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrr! I'm going where the climate suits my clothes. And currently my clothes suit the bay area weather... :-) :-)) {(;-)}

stops Mr. Mailman..... now on KDED by special request for the least, the last and the lost amongst us....and you know who you are.... I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she would meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime you find You get ..... an electric bill, an offer for a new credit card, and a Victoria's Secret catalog.... well one out of three ain't bad.... Sarge...give that back, now..... Hey Stella thanks for the links....brings a grin to this careworn face, I have decided....gonna see Men Without Hats in Chicago....plenty of seats available....and I get to dance with a dwarf.....I hear Spinal Tap is opening.... Big bottom, big bottom Talk about mudflaps, my girl's got 'em Big bottom, drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? does humor belong in music? You bet your a$$ ;-)

Did I miss something? Are you back on the bus to Chi-town after all? (maybe you never really got off?) (pardon my ignorance if this was previously stated, my brain has been on information overload for weeks so it's impossible to keep up with everything)

I brive a dus, and you mayor.....it's our division of labor....my promise was to get you all safely to your destination....and a mans word is his bond.....so go back and high step..... What Brother James be sayin'? Pupper Live at the Apollo please.... The girl over there with the hot pants on Filthy MacNasty all night long Get down hu! the one over there With the mini dress ha! I aint got time- I still dig that mess Get down! but I like the hot pants Hey! I like a hot pants

No such luck..... but I got a Victoria's Secret catalog.... now get back to Mayoring..... I'm practicing the moves to safety dance.... and seriously enjoying me some James Brown.... ....nice musical reference Klang.... Gotta watch my back or I'll be off this dus..... Never trust a politician.....especially one in hot pants...

Drive on, for we do not want to be late for this one... Thanks for your ever-effervescent ramblings, we all need a pick-me-up now and again. Hey bus driver, could you pick me up at I-80 and Antelope on Saturday June 27 at 9:00 AM? And do you know the way to San Jose?

...if you need it. Just say the word... :-)

Maybe if you hum a few bars.....

Good time to let him get his own credit card. Then he can pay the power bill. Do what you want with Victoria's Secret because the real gold is soon to come. I know.

Hey James..what a long strange trip it has been..... I will be at the Mines with you and your honey.... At the field museum with a few kind souls And on a boat on 7/5..... And I got alternate plans....for the evenings of 7/3-7/5.... Just in case the chilly winds blow so it's all good... Gonna be at the fountain at some point on 7/4..... Unlikely noon, but I will be there..... I got your info...and hope to see you at the F me or WTF...in Chicago

Giant steps are what you takeWalking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon

At least we get to meet you, I am happier already!

unless you can dance.My ten yr old son peering over my shoulder at Men without hats safety dance video (thanks Chandra for the throw back) actually said oh this is the video with the midget. I am still laughing. He actually asked me if there is a deeper meaning to this song. Then said that the whole Thing is just wrong.

We can dance if we want to We've got all your life and mine As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it Everything'll work out right I say, we can dance if we want to We can leave your friends behind Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well, they're no friends of mine I say, we can dance, we can dance Everything's out of control We can dance, we can dance We're doing it from pole to pole We can dance, we can dance Everybody look at your hands We can dance, we can dance Everybody's taking the chance as Forrest Gump said.... That's all I have to say about that...

And a good 'ol dance tune at that. Rich. PM. Yours. xo

A Foxtrot dedicated to you, thanks be to Sarge..... Hit it Sarge.... Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you Somewhere there's music It's where you are Somewhere there's heaven How near, how far The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon How high the moon is the name of this song How high the moon Though the words may be wrong We're singing it Because you ask for it So we're swinging it just for you How high the moon Does it touch the stars How high the moon Does it reach up to Mars Though the words may be wrong to this song We're asking how high, high, high high, high is the moon To quote Bobby Z..... I'm gonna let you pass, and I'll go last...... And time will tell, just who has fell and whose been left behind... Thanks from the bottom of my old dead heart.... Where there's life there's hope.... I told that to Clownstoner....and it came true..... I'm goin down swinging...swinging ...like Benny Goodman!
