Ever notice how something so easily combatable as precipitation is so effective at thinning out the crowds at these Earth Day, Peace Rallies, Hippie Fests etc??? If you got a job maybe you could afford an umbrella, rain coat, heck big spender maybe even a pair of those slick red commie galooshes. Or maybe you could love all that nature has to offer or take it as a sign that you need a shower. These hippie tree huggers sure dont like being put out. Typical not in my backyard limousine liberal politics of convenience as usual. As a card carrying Conservative and Eddie Rabbit Fan all I got to say is...
Well I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good
Well I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
To taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadow

As Rhino would say, that song is "SO gay."
Next, you'll be posting pictures of kittens ...
All I know is statistically Florida area has the most thunderstorms; Berkshires have so many, where the thunder is said to resonate from mountain to mountain. In my place, Fall River and Somerset, the thunder has behaved strangely in the past. Can just be over your house, you wait and accept of course the biggest closest thunder ever.
Koreans control the thunder; no link yet. I know; its medical for fraidy cats. Ka Boom and I love you. Its why they rule it, its a good attitude.
Hold on.
1400 bet.
Its nothing
Electricity = Lightning, according to SONY.
GDamn. When one is boopied, one does not win 100+10 play money sit and gos.
At any rate, works in this quasiparticular age to know thunder vs lightning. Or to know Thunder vs Rice Field. Or to know the Rain vs the Snow. How ya play it, it seem important, right?
Eddy Rabbit? Hmm Hendix could really do a song about a rainy day:
Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day
Tom Waits has a song called "A Little Rain" :::
The Ice Man's mule is parked
Outside the bar
Where a man with missing fingers
Plays a strange guitar
And the German dwarf
Dances with the butcher's son
And a little rain never hurt no one
And a little rain never hurt no one
They're dancing on the roof
And the ceiling's coming down
I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves
A little trouble makes it worth the going
And a little rain never hurt no one
The world is round
And so I'll go around
You must risk something that matters
My hands are strong
I'll take any man here
If it's worth the going
It's worth the ride
She was 15 years old
And never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
Was, "I love you mom."
And a little rain
Never hurt no one
And a little rain
Never hurt no one
I wish I was cool enough to quote Hendrix or Waits, but I never worked at a record store so my music snobbery aint up to snuff. I was a Eddie Rabbit fan before he sold out, and dont get me started on Eddie Money.
"The donkey doth protest too much methinks ..."
Well, sure, you didn't work in a record store like me and Lefty, but it appears to me you are best buds with the lead singer of Big Dictator.
Eddie Money rocks old school style. Unfortunately now he plays very small venues in the hamptons with his daughter, so he's not so big time or anything, but i hear he's still getting it done.
I loved Eddie Money ... "back in the day" ... and Southside Johnny too (those two always go together in my mind for some reason ... maybe it's the ronnie spector connection).
I had tickets to see Southside Johnny at BB King's this winter. I couldn't get anyone to go with me. Seems like nobody remembers him. Weird. Had to sell them on Craig's List.
But all turned out well because the guy who bought them was taking a friend of his who heading into the latter stages of Lou Gehrig's disease. He was going crazy trying to find tickets because his friend was only in town for the weekend and REALLY wanted to see the show. The friend was disabled so hanging out before the show to buy them outside wasn't an option.
Anyway, I think sometimes that I was meant to buy the tickets just so this guy with Lou Gehrig's disease could go ... sounds stupid, I know. But so be it.
doesn't sound stupid to me.
Except that you didn't ask me to go. i'm not really a big south side johnny fan, but i always like to see a show at bb kings. I've seen some really good music there. mostly jazz stuff.
mostly jazz stuff
Rhino..dont try and be a big hot
Southside Johnny is ok....if youre from Jersey
The only man worthy of being called THE VOICE...is none other than Upstate New York's own one hit wonder...
Benny Mardones
coming to a Bennigans near you
El Guapo Gordo, your taste in music seems to be, uh, hmmm, ... well, somewhat lacking. Perhaps you do need an upgrade to your hipster cred. A part-time job in a record store might be a good thing for you to consider.
oh, and by the way, rhino doesn't have to TRY to be big, or hot.
he IS big ... and HOT (or so I'm told. by him).
As Huey Lewis once sang...
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
Take it from me
It's hip to be square
Anita dont try and be a big SHOT
donkey, don't be that guy. i used to go to bb kings when i was dating the red tornado.
we used to hit the blue note, fez, irridium, etc. on a semi regular basis.
By the way, if anyone's interested thursday nights at fez is Mingus Big Band and it's always a good time.
Chick ditches the hairspray leaves the Jersey shore moves to Brooklyn...all of a sudden shes a hipster. Takes more than a coat of paint to make it at Thunder Road.
Viva La Mardones!!!
Rhino you are SOOO cool. Do you wear a velvet jacket and smoke a pipe?
I am that guy
yeah, i'm the guy on the ring tones commercial....
ring aling aling tones....
I hate to disappoint you, Your Donkeyness, but we didn't wear hairspray at the Jersey Shore. We were suntanned, surfin' beach babes:
Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we'd be out in the sun every day
Ooooh, never thought that it could end
Ooooh, and I was everybody's friend,
Oh, Oh,
Not disappointed. You just moved up an exit on the turnpike in my book, even though the ex was from Spring Lake I wont hold it against you.
thank you.
My daily run for several years was from the Belmar bridge to the end of the Spring Lake boardwalk and back.
really nice in the fall and winter ... too crowded in the summer though.
damn bennies
yeah, but those bennies help a lot of people down there pay their property taxes.
