Today would have been 79 years old.

An American Prayer

Do you know the warm progress under the stars?
Do you know we exist?
Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom?
Have you been borne yet and are you alive?
Let's reinvent the gods, all the myths of the ages
Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests
Have you forgotten the lessons of the ancient war?
We need great golden copulations
The fathers are cackling in trees of the forest
Our mother is dead in the sea
Do you know we are being led to slaughters by placid admirals and fat slow generals

THE GYPSY'S WIFE (With Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen to start a day off with the tenderness of Leonard Cohen
 
Sandra - Maria Magdalena (Official Video 1985)
Ah, but this nouvelle vague rvmena, how it confuses me
And then this Sandra, was she the girlfriend or the wife of Michael Cretu
Or was it Michael Cretu with the wig, what a confusion this nouvelle vague rvmena
 
Kaya (1978) - Bob Marley & The Wailers their journey from Catch a Fire to Exodus has made them a universal revolutionary symbol. The next album, in terms of themes, is certainly more laid-back, but still carries an exceptionally high level of inspiration in its composition. It’s a pause, in a way, before the two subsequent masterpieces: with Survival in particular being my absolute favorite album of theirs.

Tom Waits - "A Sight For Sore Eyes"
And hey barkeeper what's keepin you keep pourin' drinks
For all these palookas hey you know what I thinks?

And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you.
Cheers Tom!
 
TOOL - Ænema (Audio)
Il mondo è come un giro in un parco di divertimenti, e quando scegli di salirci pensi che sia reale perché la nostra mente è così potente. Il giro sale e scende, gira e rigira, ha emozioni e brividi, è molto colorato e molto rumoroso, e per un po' è divertente. Molte persone sono state sopra quel giro per molto tempo, e cominciano a chiedersi: "Ehi, è reale, o è solo un giro?" E altre persone si sono ricordate, e tornano da noi e dicono: "Ehi, non preoccuparti; non avere mai paura, perché questo è solo un giro." E noi… uccidiamo quelle persone.
