    I'm continually amazed with the spacey, "like meadow dew grass dripping ina paper cup"-type crap these old dope smokin' hippies insist makes some sort of sense. Nothing like "make 'em say UGH!" :thumb:

    I f***** your girlfriend last night.
    While you snored and drooled, I f***** your love.
    She called me daddy. and I called her baby when I
    Smacked her ass. I called her sugar when I ate
    Her alive till daylight.

    "This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land"

    "The End" - The Doors (1967)

    ...quite possibly the most disturbed/disturbing rock song of all time.

    Listen to it in the dark...with one candle lighting the room...
    ...just like they recorded it in the studio in Miami in the spring of 1967...

    ...it is ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING...

    When I find myself in times of trouble
    Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    And in my hour of darkness
    She is standing right in front of me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    Let it be, let it be.
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

    ...............

    Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
    Take a sad song and make it better.
    Remember to let her into your heart,
    Then you can start to make it better.

    A very young Julian Lennon. Was originally written by Paul as "Hey Jules" as
    a little song to console young Julian over his parents' impending split.

    I saw Julian Lennon at House of Blues a few years back. Good show. He looks and sounds so much like his father, it was almost like seeing the ghost of John.

    Lets' see if any of the old-timers know what THIS opening line is from:

    "I dig a pygmy, by Charles Hawtrey, on the defades
    Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats."
