Best Lines - keep it to one or two lines

Just dig my grave beside the railroad
So I can hear the trains roll by

Ry Cooder - Boomer’s Story

Also from the above, Sleepy John Estes, “President Kennedy”

"Late one Friday evening everybody was sad
We lost the best president we ever had
But he’s gone home, gone back home
He’s staying away too long

Beef you are one of my best blog friends.

A woman like you honey whose software matches this hard drive of mine”

Life’s a piece of sh-t
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ‘em laughin’ as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

Look on the Bright Side of Life

Peace

In a land there’s a town, and in that town there’s a house,
And in that house there’s a woman.
And in that woman there’s a heart I love.
I’m gonna take it with me when I go.

Tom Waits, “Take It with Me”

She said, “Carl take all the money”,
She called everybody Carl,
My spirit’s broke, my mind’s a joke and
getting up’s real hard.

Don’t say you love me
'Cause I’ll only kick you out of the door

Not from a song, but from one of my favorite movies, “What’s Up, Doc?”.

Hugh: Don’t touch me, I’m a doctor.
Judge Maxwell: Of what?
Hugh: Music.
Judge Maxwell: Can you fix a hi-fi?
Hugh: No, sir.
Judge Maxwell: Then shut up!"

I will wander around barefoot
I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the sh*t out of me on the street
I will sleep . . .

The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. - Richard Feynman

I’ve been in this prison twenty years or more
I shot my woman with a 44
I’ll be right here till my dyin’ day
I got 99 years for one dark day
