Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

http://tinyurl.com/7w55lue


The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

I remember being 18. Three/Four years later I wasn't 21 or 22.....I was, like, 75: embittered, hostile, dangerous(?), jumpy, unable to sleep, eating dirt whenever a car backfired.....it just went downhill from there, too...

TEHO here......his first couple of albums were great, but, like most produced music boys, it went downwhill on this I agree; or maybe it's simply I matured and moved on to far more complex riffs.

Very familiar with his golf game: He resides on Maui and eats at Outback Steakhouse in Kihei every Sunday; typically with his family; he's just a regular guy. We've gotten to "know one another".....not like we're close or anything. He do enjoy his golf....yet another sporting endeavor I don't get.....hitting a small ball into a hole? Okkkkkkkkkkkkk......*shrug* :P

Irrespective, his music was ahead of it's time and it was great fun watching him jump off the stage at the Lake Geneve Playboy club and kick the ass of a heckler back in 1969....

The Honorable Secretary of Agriculture Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:

I have been evacuated from the New Orleans area, because the floods destroyed my 50-year-old mobile home and my beat-up car. I thought I might go into business to
supplement my welfare check.

My friend over at Wells, Iowa, received a check for $1,000 from you fellows for NOT raising hogs. Right now, I am getting extra help from the government and the Red Cross while I am displaced but, when that stops, I want to go into the "not-raising-hogs" business.

What I want to know is this. In your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to raise hogs on, and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise?

I want to be certain that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all governmental policies. I would prefer not to raise razorbacks, but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or another specified breed.

As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be that of keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I have not raised.

My friend out in Iowa is very happy about the future of the business. He has been raising hogs for more than twenty years. He says the best he ever made on them was $422 back in 1968, until this year, when he got your check for $1000 for not raising 50 hogs.

If I get $1000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised,
which will mean about $80,000 the first year.

Another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay farmers for NOT raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not going to raise?

In addition, I am considering the "not-milking-cows" business. Please, send me any information you have on that, too.

In view of these circumstances, you understand that I will be totally unemployed, and I plan to file for unemployment and food stamps.

Be assured your party will have my vote in the coming election.

Patriotically Yours,

Ima Taker

P.S. Please, notify me when you are giving out more free cheese. I like that stuff.
