"I hear that train a comin', it's rollin round the bend,

and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on,

but that train keeps a rollin on down to San Antone."

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues

Let's save the women, but let's save the children first

Let's act like real men for once in our lives

We're going down, straight to the ocean floor

To join the rest who have gone on before

Don't be scared...

Captain,

Did you feel the water rise?

Did you feel the water rise?

It's all around you now

Do you know where you're going?

Do you know where you're going when you die?

Greeley Estates, "If We're Going Out, Let's Go Out In Style"

"The eastern world it is explodin',

violence flarin', bullets loadin',

you're old enough to kill but not for votin',

you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',

and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',

but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction."

Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

"All our times have come

Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man..."

The rangers had a homecoming in harlem late last night

And the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line

Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a dodge

Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain

The rat pulls into town rolls up his pants

Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down flamingo lane

Well the maximum lawman run down flamingo chasing the rat and the barefoot

Girl

And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands

From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world

As we take our stand down in jungleland

(I love hearing this in concert and when we get to "As we take our stand..." and Bruce yells, "SING IT NOW!")

Excellent choice. I'm seeing them in April!

"A modern day warrior

Mean mean stride

Today's Tom Sawyer

Mean, mean pride".

I went to their show last Wednesday at Constitution Hall and they absolutely blew the roof off of the place. This was my first time hearing them playing old material with DuVall. They played Love, Hate, Love and while DuVall didn't own the song the same way Layne did, he didn't exactly sound like chop liver. It was a great show man, I know you'll enjoy.
