There’s sometimes we’re on the brink of reality /
Being pushed on to some uncertain fate

A Place I Long For
This is a sensitive subject. A place I long for. There has always been a place I long for—anywhere away from where I was at the time. The grass was always greener, so to speak—everything was better at the place I longed for, and so I’d act as if I was already in the place I longed for and abdicate any responsibility for things to be done in the place where I actually was. I think that the first places I longed for, which were not the places I actually was, were Wilmington, De

Changes
Yes, the David Bowie song. Never much cared for Bowie. And the message in the song … well, it’s OK (and covered elsewhere).

Lyric of the Week: THE POWER OF MUSIC
You can teach an old dog many new tricks You can play a new and different beat over the same old riffs Reggae rhythm’n’blues or rock’n’roll All you need is a crackerjack band to get that 8-ball in the hole Well now the rhythm ain’t just rock’n’roll, it’s a rolling heartbeat Gonna put the long lost jukebox heroes back into the front seat Scared of hiring street smart romantics who are tough but tender? Rock’n’roll no surrender! Let’s go crazy on a Saturday night summer of ‘82
