Title: Nuthin' but da blues.........
Post by: msattler on 27 Aug 2010, 09:21:15 pm
Well, seeing as how I aced 'My own little thread' on account of me getting sick of my own whining about a situation that is not gonna change...........
I decided to sing the blues.
Feel free to join in with your own see-lections.
The juke box coin slot is broken, so it won't take your dirty, stolen money (another Blue Brothers reference).

First up......
Johnny Winter.  Be Careful With a Fool.

Of course.......closely related are the fine flicks that feature the blues.
The Blues Brothers has to be my all time favorite, with some astounding talent.

Another is Crossroads.....
The headcutting duel scene between the devil's advocate and Maccio's 'innocent' kid is wonderful.

For those who may not know, Steve Vai played himself as the devil's advocate, and Ry Cooder did most of the kid's stuff.
I always thought that it must have made Vai's nuts hurt to fake his not being able to follow Cooder's lead.....LOL.
But, that's showbiz.

Saw a few of the masters live over the years......
BB King, Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, too many too mention.
The one that will live with me until I depart this planet and hopefully get to shake his hand was Stevie Ray Vaughan.  He was my guitar hero from the moment I heard his first album until the day I heard the last notes he played.  I was there on that fateful day at Alpine Valley.  Had seen him live first at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin shortly after the first album broke, and was at that last show.....it was amazing.  As I was struggling through the fog to get north in my Buick Electra down highway 41, his copter crashed into the mountain tops surrounding the venue.  I luv his brother Jimmie Lee too, but he just never had the God given charisma and string bending talent that his younger brother did.

Rest in peace, my brother......I am comin' to meet ya some day.

I have cried so many times over the truth in this cut........he had been to the edge, and stepped back in the months before his departure.

I know what it's like 'Living Life By The Drop'...

Great harp player.....local boy.
Jim Liban.......used to have a local club that served up lots of whiskey and blue......
LOL.....great story.....
One night the dudes got to the gig and there were lots of problems that night.

First of all, the house forgot to bring the mike stands.......so I ran over to the electronics shop where I worked and sniped a few that we had in stock to bring back to the gig for the night......(my boss never found out about that.....).  Then, when they had had a few drinks and were about ready to go, everybody was wondering where the bass player/drummer was.......Tim Wilson in the upcoming clip.......

Turns out his VW Rabbit had died about 20 miles south of the gig on highway 41......he jumped the chain link fence at the side of the highway and made a call.......
A few minutes later I was storming south in my 455 Buick to pick him up.  I think the gig was only 20 minutes late.  Partied at his place in West Allis one New Year's Eve.......OMFG.

He and Tom would come up every few weeks.

And another Wisconsin boy that few of you have probably never heard of......

Greg Koch.......

This man is one of the greatest joys to see live ever.........
His sense of musical humour will bust ya up.
He has done a lot of promo work for Fender at their trade shows......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqWvw9QmxsQ&feature=related

He can spoof just about any guitar style ever done.  And do it with a grin on his face......LOL.
Witness.......

'Spank It'.  And he does.  And this is what I referring to when I said he could spoof about any guitar player on the planet.

OK......the jukebox broke........
Not exactly the blues.

Rockabilly has to be my second favorite........
It's a  lot  harder to track down really good stuff.

I think this qualifies.

The Slaptones........

Besides, I luv gurl bands...........LOL...go figure.

Fleetwoood Mac could have takn another whole direction altogether had Spencer not died and Mac took his trip off yonder.........


Man, that was such a wonder that they held it all together at all.
Saw the Nicks, Mac, and whoever the f was playing with then that day show about 25 years ago.

 Stevie looked really sick.  Mac was not much better......kinda plowed through their bread and butter hits.......felt sorry for them.  You should read the biography.

But, by God.....Jeremy DID know how to do the slide.

Well, I suppose it had to happen sooner of later......
Living in a science lab, as I do.

Wandered off to be last night and tripped......more than I usually do.

Kicked a ktty and stumbled........fell face first onto the frame of my kitty waterbed.
Caught my right cheekbone on the bedframe.

Saw starz.......more than I recently have in my new plastic eyes.  Cursed a bit and went to sleep.

All is well this morning.  Sqiireel is meowing for breakfast....the sun came up....the crunchers are still humming.
Nothing a little ibuprofen  won't fix.

And whilst I am waiting for the aliens.............
Here on earth, we await the sunrise.  Which, as i have read, is going to be a nasy thing in 2012/2013........

Something akin to 'Knowing'.......a clip for you who do not know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQEh5_pSbd4

I personally believe that it will not be that bad.........2012 will come and go as most years have.
I might have to eat a few trees, and the kitties might have to exerxize their mousing abilities to get by.
Will stock up on a few hundred tins of kitty food for them in the meantime.........
BTW........if it comes down to it.........kitty food does not taste that bad..


This clip sooooooooo much reminds me of me and Lori.........
Her........playing with her plant thingys which she loves, and me.....
What else, playing with my computers, which I love. 
If Les had spent his time looking for aliens rather that enjoying the sunrise, I suspect we would have ccntact by now.......

She had a wonderful voice......multiplied by Les's wonderful invention of multitracking.........and his mastery of the instrument was wonderful too.  594.926

I think this guy almost nutted it.........

The top 20 guitar licks.   I might have included some old school stuff, but his selections are good.
And as much as I have distaste for 'Gutters of Roses'......it was a good lick.

OH, my.
Just went for a spin in the RX-7.
Lori needed a couple of gallons of gas f or the lawnmower, and she blew the head gasket in her Ceilica last week.

So, guess who was tapped?

Anyways........
On the way back home, pulled up to a red light, and there was this cutest little blond in a convertible beemer next to me....
Silly gurl wanted to RACE?????  She obviously don't know didly about RX-7's.  Which I can't blame her for, there are only a handful of '85 GSLSE's  left running in this state.  And probably none with a hand tweaked motor and 4:11 gears.......
Needless to say, I left her sniffing my tail pipe.  The cop 3 cars back at the corner of the intersection must have been amused, because, although I didn't see him until after I launched, he did not pursue.  Must have had his ticket book full, 'cuz he could have filled it with me.
Hit 120 on a short track of road and bailed.
The speedo says 140....never did it, and won't on these tyres......maybe next year I can book a track date with new rubber and see if it will do what it says.  The factory tach redlines at 7000 rpm.  It will do 8000 in a blink of the eye.  Hand tweaked rotors by Mazdatrix.  Had it up to 8000 in 1st, 2nd. 3rd, and 4th once.
Overdrive 5th gear turns into a wind resistance test.  Never maxxed it out.

I guess that would be the one thing in my bucket list.

Meooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Title: Re: Nuthin' but da blues.........
Post by: msattler on 28 Aug 2010, 04:01:51 pm
Geez.......
There I go again assuming.
Many of you may not even know what an '85 RX-7 GSLSE is.

This guy burnt the tyres until he blew his bonnet...........
Mine is not a 3 rotor......just the 1.3 litre stock, fuel injected version with 2 rotors.
With a number of internal tweaks courtesy of Mazdatrix.

1.3 litres does not sound like much, but you have to factor in that it makes power on every cycle.....3 of them per rpm.....not suck, squeeze, bang, blow.  Just bang bang bang.  Courtesy of Dr. Wankel.

That's what an RX-7 is.  So if you see some  silly fool in a cute little car with a kitty riding shotgun......
Don't mess with it........LOL.

Mine.......it has about $4500.00 in hail damage on it from a month ago......waiting for a cheque from the insurance company tot make it right.  Might be 1 or 2 hoods left in the USA for it. My body guy is checking for one.

And this......tyre smoke is something like cum.........wait for it forever.....lasts but a moment.....but soooooooooooooooooooooooo satisfying.

When I was some 30 years younger, I always dreamed about hitting the lottery (don't we all), and opening up a blues bar to beat all...........
Although I am not known by it much on the boards, my nickname of 33 years or so is.....Harvey.  It's on my answering machine at home...'This is Mark, or Harvey, depending on who is calling..........'.
Anyways..........I was gonna call it "Harv's House of Blue Lights".

From an obscure Aussie band........our theme song.

Moose Malone...

And there were many other fine versions done as well......

Asleep At The Wheel...probably my fav.

I go back again.........

What some of you will never understand is my love of the musical idols that I learned in my long gone youth.......

As I get older and they pass before me, one by one, I am lessened by their every loss.
Stevie Ray, Les Paul, and so many others.  I can not withstand their loss without being lessened myself.

The largest piece of myself I have had to try to let go of was the loss of Mary Allin Travers.
She had been with me since I can remember being a young lad.  My Dad introduced us and love was born.
A simple love, a platonic love, of course, but love her I always did.

When it came to pass that she did......a large piece of me went with her.

I was always that kid she sang about in Puff............never wanting to leave Cherry Lane......I just woke up one day, and life was different.

Must have something to do with my love of kitties........because kitties never have to grow up until the day they die.....they just are always kitties.

So.....pardon me whilst I stroll once again down the lane I will too, always wander about when I get sad.........

Just come and talk to me some day.  I'll be here.....out in right field.

I can so very much associate with this song........
It happened to me in real life.   I was, and still am, the slowest, the last to catch on.
One day, out in a grass field where we had made a baseball game some 30 years ago.......the same thing went on......choosing teams.  I was always last. 
And there I was in right field.  The popop came, and unfortunately, I did not have Stookey's luck.
I lost it in the sun, and it hit me right in the eye.  Knocked me out cold.

So, you see, I know what this song is about.

The best single I have ever found for Mary.

If some of the younger folks here do not quite understand why my heart pains me so........

Maybe this will explain a bit to you.  And why I was lessened so much by her passing.

And the best obit I found for Mary...........

BOSTON (AP) - Mary Travers, one part of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, which used beautiful, tranquil harmonies to convey the angst and turmoil of the Vietnam anti-war movement, racial discrimination and more, died after a yearslong battle with leukemia. She was 72.

The band's publicist, Heather Lylis, said Travers died Wednesday at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut.

Though their music sounded serene, Peter, Paul and Mary represented the frustration and upheaval of the 1960s, as a generation of liberal activists used their music not only to protest political policies, but also to spark social change. And even as the issues changed, and the fiery protests abated, the group remained immersed in musical activism.

Bandmate Peter Yarrow said that in her final months, Travers handled her declining health with bravery and generosity, showing her love to friends and family "with great dignity and without restraint."

"It was, as Mary always was, honest and completely authentic," he said. "That's the way she sang, too - honestly and with complete authenticity."

Noel "Paul" Stookey, the trio's other member, praised Travers for her inspiring activism, "especially in her defense of the defenseless."

"I am deadened and heartsick beyond words to consider a life without Mary Travers and honored beyond my wildest dreams to have shared her spirit and her career," he said.

Mary Allin Travers was born on Nov. 9, 1936, in Louisville, Ky., the daughter of journalists who moved the family to Manhattan's bohemian Greenwich Village. She quickly became enamored with folk performers like the Weavers and was soon performing with Pete Seeger, a founding member of the Weavers who lived in the same building as the Travers family.

With a group called the Song Swappers, Travers backed Seeger on one album and two shows at Carnegie Hall. She also appeared (as one of a group of folk singers) in a short-lived 1958 B roadway show called "The Next President," starring comedian Mort Sahl.

It wasn't until she met up with Yarrow and Stookey that Travers would taste success on her own. Yarrow was managed by Albert B. Grossman, who later worked in the same capacity for Bob Dylan.

In the book "Positively 4th Street" by David Hajdu, Travers recalled that Grossman's strategy was to "find a nobody that he could nurture and make famous."

The budding trio, boosted by the arrangements of Milt Okun, spent seven months rehearsing in her Greenwich Village apartment before their 1961 public debut at the Bitter End.

Their beatnik look - a tall blonde flanked by a pair of goateed guitarists - was a part of their initial appeal. As The New York Times critic Robert Shelton put it not long afterward, "Sex appeal as a keystone for a folk-song group was the idea of the group's manager ... who searched for months for 'the girl' until he decided on Miss Travers."

The trio mingled the i r music with liberal politics, both onstage and off. Their version of "If I Had a Hammer" became an anthem for racial equality. Other hits included "Lemon Tree," ''Leaving on a Jet Plane" and "Puff (The Magic Dragon)."

They were early champions of Dylan and performed his "Blowin' in the Wind" at the March on Washington in August 1963.

And they were vehement in their opposition to the Vietnam War, managing to stay true to their liberal beliefs while creating music that resonated in the American mainstream.

In a statement Thursday, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which honored the group with a lifetime achievement award in 2006, said: "Travers' soaring voice and signature harmonies were instrumental in (the group's) achievement of a rarefied level of commercial success without compromise, while continuing a centuries-old tradition of people raising their voices in song for the sake of freedom."

The group collected five Grammy Awards for their three-part h a rmony on enduring songs like "Leaving on a Jet Plane," ''Puff (The Magic Dragon)" and "Blowin' in the Wind."

At one point in 1963, three of their albums were in the top six Billboard best-selling LPs as they became the biggest stars of the folk revival movement.

It was heady stuff for a trio that had formed in the early 1960s in Greenwich Village, running through simple tunes like "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Travers' soaring voice and signature harmonies were instrumental in PP&M's achievement of a rarefied level of commercial success without compromise, while continuing a centuries-old tradition of people raising their voices in song for the sake of freedom.

Their debut album came out in 1962, and immediately scored a pair of hits with their versions of "If I Had a Hammer" and "Lemon Tree." The former won them Grammys for best folk recording and best performance by a vocal group.

"Moving" was the follow-up, including the hit tale of innocence lost, "Puff (The Magic Dragon)" - which reached No. 2 on the charts, and generated since-discounted reports that it was an ode to marijuana.

Album No. 3, "In the Wind," featured three songs by the then-22-year-old Dylan. "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "Blowin' in the Wind" both reached the top 10, bringing Dylan's material to a massive audience; the latter shipped 300,000 copies during one two-week period.

"Blowin' in the Wind" became another civil-rights anthem, and Peter, Paul and Mary fully embraced the cause. They marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Ala., and performed with him in Washington.

In a 1966 Times interview, Travers said the three worked well together because they respected one another. "There has to be a certain amount of love just in order for you to survive together," she said. "I think a lot of groups have gone down the tubes because they were not able to relate to one another."

With the advent of the Beatles and Dylan's switch to electric guitar, the folk boom disappeared. Travers expressed disdain for folk-rock, telling the Chicago Daily News in 1966 that "it's so badly written. ... When the fad changed from folk to rock, they didn't take along any good writers."

But the trio continued their success, scoring with the tongue-in-cheek single "I Dig Rock and Roll Music," a gentle parody of the Mamas and the Papas, in 1967 and the John Denver-penned "Leaving on a Jet Plane" two years later.

They also continued as boosters for young songwriters, recording numbers written by then-little-known Gordon Lightfoot and Laura Nyro.

In 1969, the group earned their final Grammy for "Peter, Paul and Mommy," which won for best children's album. They disbanded in 1971, launching solo careers - Travers released five albums - that never achieved the heights of their collaborations.

Over the years they enjoyed several reunions, including a performance at a 1978 anti-nuclea r benefit organized by Yarrow and a 35th-anniversary album, "Lifelines," with fellow folkies Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Dave Van Ronk and Seeger. A boxed set of their music was released in 2004.

They remained politically active as well, performing in 1995 on the anniversary of the Kent State shootings and performing for California strawberry pickers.

Travers had undergone a successful bone marrow transplant to treat her leukemia and was able to return to performing after that.

"It was like a miracle," Travers told The Associated Press in 2006. "I'm just feeling fabulous. What's incredible is someone has given your life back. I'm out in the garden today. This time last year I was looking out a window at a hospital." She also said she told the marrow donor "how incredibly grateful I was."

But by mid-2009, Yarrow told WTOP radio in Washington that her condition had worsened again and he thought she would no longer be able to perform.

Travers lived for m a ny years in Redding, Conn. She is survived by her husband, Ethan Robbins, and daughters, Alicia and Erika.

Mork is borked........I really thought they would come back up today.....but I guess the project is willing, but the hardware is weak.

Soooooooo. I just go off on a tanker and amuse myself with other things.

Which are probably somewhat different than what some of you folks might entertain in your off time......

What some of you do not realize, or wish to try to understand.........

Is that simply that I live 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'.
Just south of the Rainbow Bridge...where Tigger and Oscar live.

There is a Rainbow Bridge for humans too.
And I happen to be blessed with being able to go back and forth between here and there.

Few are able to do so.

So, sometimes I speak to you from here, sometimes from there.

I know this might sound silly, crazy to some of you.  Kinda like Prot........I can be here one moment and not here the next.......
And I do tresaure THIS world....and not just for the apples.  You'll have to watch the movie for that reference.

Sooooo, I have watched from above and far above.

All men know right from wrong, Mark........another quote.

All kitties know wrong from right......that's why they, too, are blessed with this gift.

Let's just say that my simple powers, like Prot's, are not limitless, and can't include taking you with me when I visit elsewhere.  Wish I could. So don't be packin' up your sneakers.

I expect the black copter pilots will be circling soon.........
I know they have been monitoring me for some time.

Oh, and one who sings as though she knows......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCr1M5_THms&NR=1  She is not so blessed with the gift, but has been blessed with a voice.

Oh.........and BTW, you silly folks.

Yes, there is a God.  He is not what some of you have been led to believe by your brothers here on earth....not at all.  But, hw will not come crashing down int he 2012 scenariio that some envision.....nor the 'striking sword' version of the bible.
HE is already sorting the chaff from the wheat in the next world..........and will continue to do so when you visit the next one.
Prot's final statement about the universe collapsing and then expanding......is the closest you humans will ever ger to the final truth/
But he did  create you.........not in his own image.....but in the 'soap bubble' version Prot spoke about.
Why is a soap bubble round......that is what you must ask yourself everday in front of the mirror.
You are all soap bubbles.

And evey mistake you have made will be repeated.........again, and agina,,,,,,and aigain.
Unless you make the right choices. you are destined to repeat the wrong ones.

Meow, meow.

Unfortunately, it was the only place they had with enough room to put them. They took up too much room leaving them out in the lab and they don't have anything else close to a dedicated server closet. They had to make do with what they were given.

And quite apart from the space consideration, there's the noise. Have you ever heard the noise a high-density rack server makes, under heavy load, with every fan running at full blast? Those things are built for speed, not comfort.

IIRC, it practically provokes a riot every time they open the closet door - they certainly can't leave the door open for additional airflow. They have to share the building with other SSL staff - if they don't at least try to be good neighbours, they might even lose what little space they have.

I'm afraid the jury is still out on the whole nine yards........

I suggested to Eric that there might have been some corruption in the mysql software, and he was going to pass along to Jeff the idea of loading the software from a current, new copy.  It is possible that something got corrupted during the AC failure, and reloading from scratch would be the only way to rule that out.

Otherwise, it's possible that mork's mobo was damaged from the overheat.  But I think that jocelyn's problems may just be related to configuration and the sheer weight of being loaded way beyond her capabilities.....

Only time will tell.......and the painful truth is that especially now, with the limited capacity that jocelyn has, any crash might take more than a day to recover from.

This has always been my best loved bit of cinema.........

The Nazi "I always love you" scene.......
A Pinto racing after a 440 magnum......who could not see the humour in that?

I've always loved you.... (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blues+brothers+final+chase&aq=f)
Talk about gay bashing the Nazis......LOL.

But they did it, and after much mayhem and massacre.......I could go off in another direction about the song about the massaree, as he put it....(Arlo Guthrie)......and of course the "lower Wacker drive" scene.....

What can I say, except, " I suggest you view as many Blues Brothers scenes as you can"....
Which is to paraphrase the quote......."I suggest you buy as many blues albums as you can......."

Meow meow.

"Can you hear me now?"

Meow.

It's always been fun to make fun of the Nazis.......if you were not a Jew at the time..

But, I suppose I should stop dead in my tracks right now, otherwise I would end up defending Mel Brooks.
And his parody of the Nazis......  Springtime for Hitler....and GERMANY... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCUfkMkVbwo)

Of course, Mel also did a lampoon of racist attitudes, which some folks misunderstood........and for which I also sufffered an extended ban on Seti.......

This bit still remains one of the most amusing bits.......

You see, he was making fun, not of the N, but of the mindset surrounding the N word.
And the hipprocary (sp)  surrounding it.

It was a funny bit, and I stand by that.

Even if you are of the 'darker persuasion', you have to understand his attempt to enlighten folks, eh????


Mel had a knack for cutting through the crap.
Which, as one who is outspoken usually does, cuts to the bone for some.

I must.......have.......a statement..........


Here we go.........




Some fools..........

Another in the many of kitty attmpts to get others to understand me........

Some fools........


Some fools, so you see, have made attempts to interpret me.
To put thoughts into my words I have wrote.

But they have failed, so they say, to have had quite their way to
have their way with my oft mis-quoted quotes.

The words that I say, or have typed as my thoughts
may seem unjust and unsightly at times......
But is you sort them, like I do, and then give them time
you might just come to senses like mine.

I often go off on a tangent and then cannot get back to my place where therof
I based my first thought from and  then come quite off thinking not where I came off

before.

You have but one choice, or the end of my voice.
A song quite so loud and so true.
You can take what I say, as the voice of the day,
or you can silence me once and for true.

I oft speak of thruths that one heard  in their youth
which no longer have place in this time.

So, please forgive me
for speaking off key.,
And forgetting that I must try to keep time.

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!

Just got the sound card drivers properly installed on the new rig........(or at least the most recent incarnation of the old rig.)

In a manner of celebrating.....

I am cranking up my favorite Setzer tune.

There are more than a few versions of him doing this on youtube.  And I think the Santo and Johhny original is still there.

But, this is by far, the greatest version that Brian ever did.
Enjoy, if your sound system has the cajones.

Whether Seti comesup today, tomorrow, or next year....
Vic has had his run.

People are sick and tired of hearing him complain about how little money he has to support himself and Angel, and the turn around the next minute and post about his ebay conquests.

The two don't mix.

And then the every other day posts about buying a house.
Gimme a break.

Either you are destitute, or you are not.

Fuck you Vic, you are done fooling most folks here.

Posturing idiot.  Motherfucking fool, or suspect we shall be...........


You best take care of Angel, or I will take a flight and be knocking on your door.

I now await the comment of others.

I got over anxiietous and spoke my mind.

Others may now agree or keep me in check........

I await my peers.

Like a fool, sent money to him.

Just like Luke, who I actually bought his kitty for him.

He has vanished too.

I am a sucker for fools, I do what I can.........so I have a right to call them out when it becomes obvious.

Luke was a kind soul, and never asked for much.
He just went on his way.........no harm.

Vic is a soullsucker.
He wants you to believe that his every trouble is your own, and you should suck on his sleeve.

I shall put an end to this.......believe me, I shall.

No adjustment today.

But trust me, you REALLY don't want to be on the kitties' pissing side.
You just get wet and stink.  And I come off looking like a bully in the bargain.
I can live with my part of it, if you wanna live with being pissed on.

Scary thoughts and other stuff..........
I added a few verses of my own.

I was contacted by a friend via PM that I might have been a little bambostic.
I think I was well within reason........
But I thought it might do me some good to reflect.
Because, folks....no matter what....

I am a sincere soul.
I only attack to defend myself.
Of to defend my principals when they are dearly offended.
And Vic has.

Otherwise I am a soft soul.  You know I am.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd7bgCyRva4

Full screen........I smile and cry now........if you can understand that.

Please be careful of me.

"I was thinking that I might fly today.....
for I don't like the things that people say.
I could have gone, if not for you,
I know you are thinking what I am too.
So, I'm sensitive, God help me for being that way.

I was thinking, that some day soon,
we might find the people that built the moon
And then we could have a conversation,
might be al little less of our frustration..
Please be careful of me.......
I'm too sensitive, but I'd like to stay that way.

And could you envision a life without such hate???
No more to hug we'd have to wait.
Smiles would be all we'd have to need and
there would be no modern greed and
We could all be sensitvie
Should we not all be that way?

Please be sensitive of me.

Words can harm me, and I reply in kind.
I just say always
what is on my mind
I don't pull punches when on my own
I don't consider myself to be on a throne.
Please be careful of me....

Ok....now I am done asking favors
No more saving graces will I savour.
There are things that the kitties need
And I must provide then
There's no greed.
But, be carefull of me.

"Cuz I'd likle to stay that way."
And oherwise I will have  to kill you.

I cant be all people to what they say.
They will always try to m0ve me
Kinda rude of to unmood me........
Just be carefull of ne, 'cuz I'm kinda hard to sway.

I was thinking.....just the other day.
Somebody pushed me, and got in my way.
I could shot them, woulda got kinea rude then.
Maybe pucshing their attitide then
would have been less sensiitive,
But it would not have been my way.

Had i pullled the  trigger.....
Just the other day.
I coulda shot her......
And had my way.

But that woulda got so complicated
even if they found me 'not gulilty'
abd I skated.
You see, I am sensiistive,
and i'd like to stay that way.

The judge was thinking,
just the other day.
That gurl was sticking her tits out
the wrong way.
So when I pulled my '45,
She had no reason for her jive.

I shot the b***h,,,,,,,
And the gurl will stay that way.

So don't think I'm unreasonable
Or I'm crude.
Just don't get in my face
just don't get rude.
Cuz I'm sensitive,
And you don't wanna get laid out that way.

That some folks might take lliterally
what I say.

I dont't own guns, and could not shoot ya.
No matter how loud or how rude ya
treat me......
I'm sensitive..
And I'll try to stay that way.

There are some things
I just have to say.
Some feelings that sometimes have their say
over me.....
But I'm sensitive, and will try to stay that way.

Someone was thinking...
just the other day.
I'll kick that bastard,
and I'll have my way.

But they didn't have their way now,
they really didn't have their say now.
'Cuz I'm sensitive,
And they knew that  I'm that way.


I  know you're thinking
that upon this day
I am a racis for some of the things
that I say.

Butt don't call me bigodated
for some of the things that I have stated.
I hate illegals,
And that's what I say.

Now in closing,
If it makes you sad........
Those are the most cohsissive thougsts
in a while I've had.
So even if you think them complicated
I tha you for being one who's wated

Please be carefull of me, 'Cuz I might pull a Clint your way.

There was some background roadkill between myself and Blurf..........
He spike directly with Cllint.
And apparently Mr. Eastwood dissed me......
For my racist views of Toriino, and of my alcoholism.

Now, thesee came through another man's mouth, but I was quite hurt that he might think so little of me\
Apparently, or as one mouth would have it, he did not think much  of me if I could not stop drinking.

I think if he met me face tp face. it might have been different.
