If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, Would you hear my voice come through the music, Would you hold it near as it were your own? Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, Perhaps they're better left unsung. I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, If your cup is full may it be again, Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men. There is a road, no simple highway, Between the dawn and the dark of night, And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. You who choose to lead must follow, But if you fall you fall alone, If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da. - by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter

Heart of Stone - Rolling Stones

Heart of Glass - Blondie

Talking with Dad earlier this morning, and listening to the beer, wine and vodka-fueled birthday party now in progress next door. Even the dog is having fun barking. They are feeling no pain. And enjoying this glass of cabernet.

Horizontal Departure - Robert Plant

Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=vPNgjA4i6gM

Long Tall Sally - Little Richard

I can't remember her name at the moment. People drift away and I lose track of who's who and all.

Not to my knowledge; Alan Melvin reportedly provided the voice and Brian Blessed portrayed Prince Vultan in the 1980 film (source: wiki). During his time from March 31, 1921 March 7, 1999, Lowell Fulson was known as a blues artist. RIP

I remember reading about the details somewhere on this board.

Well in that case... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=p6RGdYio9EA

Robert Plant should do what he wants.

Maybe he was just feeling stressed out and decided to take a breather. That's alright. Namaste. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=IjP-re4Zcrg

You have my sympathy. My neck has been stiff and aching ever since I woke this morning, and I have been resisting the blahs today. I try to distract myself with any form of soothing relief that works, even if it is only imagery.

Reducing the war the way you would reduce liquid in a sauté pan seems to be the best option. Where does this war end? I suspect the reason the United States went to war in Afghanistan is because the enemy that attacked New York City believes that he has a safe harbor in the Afghan mountains and may reside there. That and it shifted the theatre of war away from New York City and the United States and onto foreign terrain. In the end it is a war that most people would prefer to end if possible, seeing as it may continue indefinitely as a quagmire.
