With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hideOh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone -
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow bringsDallas, got a soft machine
Houston, too close to New Orleans
New York got the ways and means
But just won't let you be -
RIP.
In concerts, to me Phil Lesh always appeared as the "normal guy" who had by accident run into a group of hippies.

We are driving on the Autobahn
In front of us is a wide valley
The sun is shining with glittering rays
The driving strip is a grey track
White stripes, green edge
We are switching the radio on
From the speaker it sounds:
We are driving on the Autobahn

Kevin Ayers - he could write such beautiful melodies. Here is "Lady Rachel".

One of the funniest songs I know. Pink Floyd's Nick Mason does a bit of drumming and producing, and lends his name to the whole project (Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports). However, the song's masterminds are the composer/lyricist/pianist, the late Carla Bley, and Robert Wyatt (ex-Soft Machine) on vocals.

And then one night I was standing
Looking at the stars
And I heard something that sounded like
A hundred space guitars
The music was so weird it could have
Been the theme from Jaws
Then I saw something flying over my head
I thought it was Santa Claus
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I was real wrong
I was wrong
All along
I was so wrong -
D'Brickashaw Ferguson
While the first name itself is not different from 1000s of others, the history is interesting. His mother was big fan of "The Thorn Birds" (the 1977 McCollough novel and/or the 1983 TV miniseries) where the central character is named Ralph de Bricassart. Well, if you mash this up a bit "de Bricassart" becomes "D'Brickashaw".

… What a drag it is getting old
… "Kids are different today, " I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day -
Riding down the river in an old canoe
A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe
Out of the river all ugly and green
The biggest old alligator that I've ever seen
Teeth big and pointed and his eyes were bugging out
Contact the union, put the beggars to route
Screaming and yelling and licking his chops
He never runs he just stumbles and hops
Just out of prison on six dollars bail
Mumbling at ***** and wagging his tail -
Couple of shirts. I liked them very much, but they ended up at Goodwill when cancer/chemotherapy reduced my size from XXXXL to XL/XXL.
Other than that, just underpants. Their waistband wears out pretty quickly.

I assume that most of you have never heard of the Monks of Doom, a split-off from Camper Van Beethoven. Here is a clip of the MoD covering a song by Fotheringay, John the Gun.

I love CW Stoneking. When I first heard his version of Seven Nation Army, I was convinced that he was an older Black artist. Man, was I wrong...

The NFL and the NFLPA do not agree with your diagnosis, "Doctor" Repulsif.

Next Wednesday David Byrne will visit Texas Tech to moderate a discussion about wind power. Well, I do not expect him to sing "Psycho Killer" or "Life During Wartime". Still, I am very much looking forward to see and experience him in person.

A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood -
Among the European music scene, the French had always been most into prog/psychodelia (remember Gong?). Thus, it should be no surprise that you can find several full-length concerts by Austin's finest, The Black Angels, on clips from French TV programs. Here is a newer example. Enjoy!

On the main, football-related board is a very heated discussion if Josh Allen was concussed after hitting his head on the turf in the Houston game. If you would show me clips of a) Allen in his post-game interviews, and b) Trump's speech at one of his recent rallies, and ask me which one of them just took a hard blow to his head, I would have easily picked the wrong one. To be fair to both sides, Allen appeared also way more lucid than Biden.

You know you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me, honey
I ain't asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going
Don't go yet
Your glass ain't empty and we just met
You're mean when your loaded
I was raised on robbery

Well I'm about to get upset from watchin' my TV
Checkin' out the news until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend, is anybody's guess
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin', hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin' every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay that trouble comin' every day
No way to delay that trouble comin' every day
