'n this in response to her comment about Gracie, who indeed kicked ass with whatever musicians she hooked up with...

Joplin of course. She's in my "why did you have to fuck up and die and leave me so soon" category. sigh.

Here's a good idea. Legalize drugs make drug addiction both ordinary and glamorous. Anyone could die like Janis Joplin.

Here's a good idea. Stop talking outta your ass.

sometimes I feel like I have no justification for having outlived sweet and wonderful folks like Jim Croce... 'n many others... Janis... Jimi... Nillson... etc...

You could have done drugs and died just like they did.

We didn't know what we were doing. Honest. How to explain it. We honestly didn't know what we were doing.

I wish I could explain it to you.

yep... we were young 'n dumb back then...

and it's only by the grace of god that those of us who are still alive are still alive...


but if I had the ability to go back and change the way I did things,

I wouldn't change a thing...

'cept mebbe for the part where I finally wore down my first wife's patience with me...

yep... we fuckin' lived it to the fullest when we were young...

and, yeah, we're lucky to still be alive to tell about it...

and, believe me, I'm thankful to still be alive after all I've been through...


'n, btw, I 'spect that those who took the safe and easy path (married to the same person for 20-40 years... workin' at the same job for 20-40 years... only to spend the rest of their lives after retirement spending it 24/7 with their spouses 'til the day they die) are simply jealous of folks like you 'n me who've chosen to follow a different path...

Annies voice is such a slice of heaven. I really have no words because when she sings I feel like I am with the Lord.

Her voice kills me.

Hey now let's talk Freddy.

I got a cat on my keyboard and a couple of keystones ready to go. Lets talk Freddy Mercury. This voice. This voice. Freddy Forever in Highlander. Damn he left us to soon.

 

[tinydancer]

Def Leppard and I have to talk to a kid about this? Kiss my ass. I have not been on this planet so long that some smarmy kid from nowhere new zealand is going to try to smack me upside the head and another side down again......................MOI..................ME............................I take offense,.

 

[tinydancer]

When Freddy sang the theme of Highlander I lost it. I remember

 

[tinydancer]

I want to live forever. I Want to live forever. I want to live forever.

And he could hit notes I couldn't even dream of. When I look back at him you couldn't take my breath away. You would have had to suck it out of my face.

 

[tinydancer]

I'm so sorry he left us so soon.
