He told me he'd quit I said, "Don't jump to conclusions! Maybe bein' staight ain't the right solution. I'm not Bob Dylan, But I never miss a beat. I ain't no philosopher. I dance in the street" Well, I came to dance Yes, I came to dance It's a rhythm romance I'm havin' with my shoes I've got nothin' to lose I came to dance Woo! I came to dance I came to dance I came to dance I came to dance I took the matter up With a few million friends of mine The supreme court of rock and roll Is doing just fine Demanding a speech They poured me a drink I play guitar all night and day Just don't ask me to think I came to dance (I came to dance) Oh, it's a rhythm romance (I came to dance) I came to dance Oh, I've got a story Well, my manager kept tellin' me If I wanna be great I'd better wise up And sing my songs straight I came to dance Yeah, I came to dance

    Hey now, a Dead song! Inside you're burnin' I can see clear through Your eyes tell more than you mean them to Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues Out there on the neon avenue Well I, feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) Well the music's thunderin', restless and hot You keep firin' me glances across the room And I can't stop wonderin' just what you got Get the feeling I'm going to find out real soon But I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) So let's get on with the show, let's go Yes, and the wheels it's smokin 'round midnight You show me a look that says "Let's go" Yes, and it feels about like running a red light Now there ain't no point in looking behind us, no! Still I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) You know It's gonna get stranger, let's get on with the show If this were love now how would I know? How would I know? Feel like a stranger Gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night Silky, silky, crazy, crazy night

    Once upon a time you dressed so fineThrew the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall' You thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And now you're gonna have to get used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say do you want to make a deal? How does it feel, how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home A complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ah you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel, how does it feel? To have on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discovered that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal How does it feel, ah how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

    Seems I got to have a change of sceneCause every night I have the strangest dreams Imprisoned by the way it used to be Left here on my own or so it seems I got to leave before I start to scream But someone's locked the door and took the key Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself Boy you sure took me for one big ride Even now I sit and wonder why And when I think of you I start to cry Got to stop belivin' in all your lies Cause I got to much to do before I die Before someone comes along and takes my place With a different name and yes a different face

    Happy Humping HAnk..... Walking down the main drag one night I met a fine chick that looked- just right she stopped in and I flashed my roll I told her she could have all of my dough she turned around, and with a fround she said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown Your cash ain't nothin' but trash your cash ain't nothin' but trash your cash ain't nothin' but trash so there ain't no need in your hangin' around Just to make the hit with that chick I tried to get a cadillac right quick the man at the place looked so strange I had nine hundred bucks and some change we disagreed, I tried to pleed He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash then brother you're crawling we passed your speed I'm walking and countin my bucks the man with the gun said hands up I tried to get away but I was too slow he caught me and took all of my dough I heard him shout, as he cut out "you really lost nothing what you're crying about?" Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash and he took my watch and I passed out I woke in the arms of a big cop police station next stop the judge swung his fist down plunk plunk twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk dig up the dough, and you can go and all I had was a buffalo Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash but I sure better get me some more

Totes has a point... My life has been lived in the moment for a while now....about 2 years... This merry band of strangers have been brought together by a cultural phenomenon and will convene for but a second in our virtual lives... I am happy to support and contribute ideas for a website...if asked Unfortunately I am unlikely to use it as well... But....I do understand that some people need living testaments and memorials and others like me are fine with the faded memories....they are almost always better than the real thing. Irrespective of personal preferences ...our collective thanks go to geohelpingtobuildamemorialforSunshinedaydreamersastheyseefitmeister After all we all have our own paths to follow... someone set me straight on that just about a month ago.... And I'm so lost down mine there ain't no going back! thanks George...hope you're feeling the love... :-)

Well said rrrrrgrrrrr. As much as these memories will live on and be a part me, it's all forward motion. The scrapbook idea is very nice though. I guess the SSDDer mission statement needs to be revised now. Contact the Poobah, we need chase this wabbit down the hole and create an IT department! The pill mother gave me didn't do anything at all. Tap, tap. Dammit, is this thing on? Where's Alice, I think she'll know. Hey Alice!

Amen to that, and amen to Totem, I don't know nothin about no website. Whose dumb/clever idea was that? Actually, the URLs were procured so no scum bag would grab them and try to scalp bootleg tshirts or something. What about that back 40 acre spread down by the river we were planning on getting for an annual pic-a-nic? Who's in charge of that? And what about the go-fund me kickstarter campaign to fund indigent sunshiners? And the Daydreamers? The house band? we gotta have a place to practice, if we existed, which we don't, but I play a mean air-guitar, and keep knocking into my monitor here. What about the pies? We need more pies. And Ice Cream. And cobbler...a big old dutch oven full of peach cobbler, plenty of cinnamon and maybe a sassafras stick or three. Anyone got 40 acres we can have? maybe with a river, you know, one that we can listen to as it sings sweet songs to rock our souls...and our canoes...gotta have canoes... Gonna be a nice pic-a-nic... Have a great day everyone... geomusemeister

All of matter is just very very very very very very condensed energy - no one has ever been here ever, but still there are albums and memories, faded and clear, and every once in an while a service is born from an idea and sometimes it helps... nothing born out of nothing and that's become everything. We are all in the story. Some will be on the site or in the non-profit, and it's all just right.

I note that 1) you have been on-board this forum bus since the last decade, and 2) you scored a single sweet Saturday suite ducat in a clever way, and 3) you know the magic handshake and posted on our friendly pic-a-nic board, and 4) it looks like you may already a sunshine daydreamer of the finest caliber and be in Chicago for that celebratory weekend, and last, but not least, 5) you probably do know how the songs go. Noting also that rgrgrrrgr hit the brakes long enough for you to hop on board and you got a nod from him... We welcome you to our friendly group of travelers...it appears all you have to do is PM one of us and you may find yourself taking it to the next level as it were, for we need to get you specific information...like tshirt, meet-ups, etc...for that we need your all important email address. Grab a seat, buckle up, say hi, but watch out, if you raise your hand, rgrgrgrrr may ask you to brive da dus... Good to know you! geonotthepoobahmeister

Went to Oriole Park tonight to see my birds play, and what had been a peaceful demonstration against our local death by cop episode, escalated into a bottle/stone throwing riot right outside the stadium. My first thought was "i hope nothing like this happens in Chicago" Ive GOT to get my head more into the now. I love my city. I believe we we can find justice without tearing it down.. probably just naive. mmmbop bop bop madswan needs more Ghandi.
