So Fat Bottom Girls was removed but I'm willing to bet Bohemian Rhapsody is still on it

Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger now he's dead

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

 

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

 

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit– and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

 

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare

 

God, if you’re 5 foot 3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

 

Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

 

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit– and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

He had a kind of folksy laissez-faire attitude to his songs.

God's Own Drunk was very similar to Arlo's Alice's Restaurant.

I know a couple songs he sang. I hate country both old and new style so I agree, but based on that premise.

I have even more respect for Oliver Anthony now that he's standing up for gay rights.

Some would think it's "You look like a car, you've got a hubcap diamond-star halo."  Others will maintain it's "She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went." (Robert Palmer, "Simply Irresistable.")

 

But this is, and will always be, the best musical insult ever written.

 

 

And it's a good live version, despite being the most preppie New England elitist yacht-rock crowd in history.

Wifey got yours truly the 50th Anniversary release of the Dark Side of the Moon.  Holy #### did they do that up right.  It comes with about 7 different copies of the original album in various formats and 2 replicas of the 45s from the original releases.

 

Listening to the live vinyl from a Wembley show in '74.  Awesome.

 

They even included the posters and stickers from the original album which is great because we had a minor flood a few years back and pretty sure all of those were ruined.

What's wrong with a preppie New England elitist yacht-rock crowd?  

 

Now that you've provided the music, excuse me while I pop my polo shirt collar and head to the bar for a Madras.

I don't always listen to classical but I do enjoy some Bach from time to time.

 

Medical Benefits of Prayer

 

Today I read a post on FB written by someone I don't know about Bach. It really touched me, so I decided to explore the power of prayer. After you read this note you will understand why.

 

"Did you know? Johan Sebastian Bach lost his little daughter and then three sons and then his wife. Then he remarried and then he and his second wife, Anna-Magdalena, lost four more daughters and three sons. Eleven beloved children... Many researchers have wondered: how Bach managed to handle these losses? How did he not stop breathing, how did his heart not stop? And most importantly, how could he continue to write music? Kantati, cello suites, masses, concerts... The most beautiful music the world has heard. Do you know how he did it? At the end of the his music, he always wrote "Soli Deo gloria" (Glory to God alone) and in the beginning, "Lord help." Therefore, you can pray during Bach's music because the music itself is a prayer. You could, then, consider Bach's music a conversation between man and God. How do you deal with pain? Worship is the best solace."

 

Prayer is a considered a form of medicine, and it falls into the complimentary, alternative category. It has similar benefits to meditation. Praying increases release of dopamine. (As a side note, dopamine plays important roles in executive function, motor control, motivation, arousal, reinforcement, and reward through signaling cascades that are exerted via binding to dopaminergic receptors at the projections found in the substantia nigra, ventral segmental area, and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus of the human brain.) Prayer can calm your nervous system, shutting down your fight or flight response. It can make you less reactive to negative emotions and less angry. Prayer elicits the relaxation response, which lowers blood pressure and other factors heightened by stress. It also releases control to something greater than oneself through secondary control, which can reduce the stress of needing to be in charge. Prayer is a go to habit for stress management because it can improve release of testosterone and related androgen hormones such as DHEA. When we intently and consistently pray, we increase the blood flow to our frontal lobes and to our anterior cingulate, which causes the activity in the emotional centers of our brain to decrease. That helps us develop the capacity to make responses that maintain and even sense of peace.

 

There is definitely skepticism out there about the healing power of prayer, but at the end of the day when your soul needs respite few words may make a difference.

Buddy of mine, whenever Genny Bock finally goes back on tap in late January we always toast "Ah, Bock" in tribute.  And the free hand has to do that same Radar hand gesture.  Ahh, Bock.

A guy I work with and I do pretty much the same thing.

 

I also use: “Henry, your hair is bleeding” on occasion.  That’s one of my favorite scenes (aside from any Col. Flagg scene).
