Lyric of the week:
Some time alone when you are young is good
High, high time, and drunk old time, sober time
I advise all three when your brain is at least twenty-three
Take a tumbleweed year or two
And find an eye that's true
But don't let yourself get so blue
That you make rash decisions for two
Else you'll harm yourself and another
Who mistook you for a guide
When you're still a rogue tide

Fools learn from fools
The wise learn from the wise
And always be prepared to revise.
Bill Callahan

Lyric of the week, it's Monday and...

You got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow
Get behind the mule in the morning and plow
You got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow
Get behind the mule in the morning and plow

Pin your ear to the wisdom post
Pin your eye to the line
Never let the weeds get higher than the garden
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind

You got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow
Got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow
Got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow
Got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow.

Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan

Lyric of the week:
Key West is the place to be
If you're looking for immortality
Key West is paradise divine
Key West is fine and fair
If you lost your mind, you'll find it there
Key West is on the horizon line.
Bob Dylan

Lyric of the week:..and did you have that dream again
the black dog on the beach..a black dog followed me
we chased seagulls in the sky
and the shadows on the sand...

Song of the week:
If Jesus drove a motor home, I wonder would he drive pedal to the metal, or real slow? Checking out the stereo. Cassette
playing Bob Dylan, motivation tapes. Tricked up Winnebago, with the tie-dye drapes. If Jesus drove a motor home... If Jesus
drove a motor home, and he come to your town, would you try to talk to him? Would you follow him around? Honking horns at
the drive thru. Double-parking at the mall. Midnight at the Waffle House - Jesus eating eggs with ya'll. If Jesus drove a
motor home... Buddha on a motorcycle, Mohammed in a train. Here come Jesus in the passing lane... but everybody smile, 'cause
everybody's grooving. Ain't nothing like the feeling of moving with a bona fide motorized savior. Now if we all drove
motor homes, well maybe in the end, with no country to die for, we could just be friends. One world as our highway. Ain't
no yours or my way. We'd be cool wherever we roam - if Jesus drove a motor home.

Lyric of the week:
Man, he can't get along, he just won't agree
Who is right and who is wrong don't matter you see
All we know is killing ain't the way to go
Gotta get a plan and change our ways, you know...
J J Cale

Lyric of the week:
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes, yeah...
Black Sabbath

Lyric of the week:

War, huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it got one friend, that's the undertaker

Oh, war has shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away.

Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong
