"Streetcore" by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros
What an enjoyable album!! I had to go through all of the city to get it last weekend but it was worth the effort.
Right now track 5:
"Ramshackle Day Parade"
"Random is not whatever"
-Charly Garcia
"OH! That saxophone would make a great pipe" -Homer Simpson
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
how could anyone not be listening to Lost Dogs right now? I'm on Don't Gimme No Lip.
There have been shows where maybe the whole first half of the show my eyes have been closed. and then you'll look out in the crowd and there'll be somebody totally lost in their head, in exactly the same place you're in. That, to me, is the essence of music

driving home last night curtis mayfield's greatest hits was playing but at some point i grabbed public enemy's 'it takes a nation'. chuck d. has thrown down some of the most intellectual lyrics. talk about getting an education from music.
my bag of "tricks" in the car also includes leonard cohen, willie nelson and lil kim's 'hardcore'.
a good mix to satisfy many moods.

It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.
Temple of the Dog ... still amazing after all these years.

Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the best."

Right now I'm listening to:
Eric Clapton -- Ain't That Loving You
I just need someone to be there for
I just want someone to be there for
Someone to be there for me"
--
"Well, you say it’s bad luck
To have fallen for me
Well what can I do to make it good for you
...
I’ll call you beautiful if I call at all"
That is why I'm singing
Live at the Garden
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
Jim Carrol
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
Mansfield Park, 2003
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
