Thought for The Day : LAURIE ANDERSON ‘and there was a beautiful view . . . . . . '


“And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying Look at me! Look at me.”


Laurie Anderson.

Marshall

Jim Marshall

For the longest time I thought ‘Marshalls' were the name of the amplifiying equipment. I didn’t know it was a brand name I thought they were all called that
Marshall Stacks, Marshall pre-amp, Marshall monitors, Marshall P.A.s, all the same thing . . . . .it is just what you used to go 
LOUD!
and you know in a way . . . . . I Was Right


 oh and I also thought Marshall owned all pictures of Rock and pop stars everywhere . . . Forever!

One for Woody’s Birthday! Bob Dylan — Pretty Boy Floyd Oakland California USA. December 4 1988 | Route

 This one’s for Woody . . . . . on his birthday


Bob Dylan — Pretty Boy Floyd. Oakland, California. December 4, 1988
with  G.E. Smith
 
If you'll gather 'round me, children,
A story I will tell
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw,
Oklahoma knew him well.

It was in the town of Shawnee,
A Saturday afternoon,
His wife beside him in his wagon
As into town they rode.

There a deputy sheriff approached him
In a manner rather rude,
Vulgar words of anger,
An' his wife she overheard.

Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain,
And the deputy grabbed his gun;
In the fight that followed
He laid that deputy down.

Then he took to the trees and timber
To live a life of shame;
Every crime in Oklahoma
Was added to his name.

But a many a starving farmer
The same old story told
How the outlaw paid their mortgage
And saved their little homes.

Others tell you 'bout a stranger
That come to beg a meal,
Underneath his napkin
Left a thousand dollar bill.

It was in Oklahoma City,
It was on a Christmas Day,
There was a whole car load of groceries
Come with a note to say:
Well, you say that I'm an outlaw,
You say that I'm a thief.
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief.

Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.
