My New Ambition In Life

[Lightning Rod]

my new ambition in life is to play with this band:

Rock Bottom Remainders

Yes I know who they are, click it later.

Noble Ambition
Your a prince Clay
well at least you are a muscian
and a writer too.


I don't think I envy you
except for the music
it is a weird silent world I live in

thanks for the music
I'll listen to it later
I was checking out the phrase "quantum noise" on youtube
for some reason I came upon a band called Dirty Pretty Things.

I love both kinds of music, country and western.

I love the story that Stephen King tells about why he loves the band of writers
he says it because nobody is likely to ask, "where do your ideas come from?"
because they all know that we don't know.

Beats me too
Where does the music come from, I suppose there are a lot of answers to that. I spent thirty some years trying to work my way through a book by Husserl about time. Pretty much all that stays with me is the analogy of time to music, the duration of a melody in subjective time.

Oh well, I am just happy that I can listen to it. I listen to stuff that would probably make you cringe.

One of my favorite songs is called Texas City Dyke by mean gene kelton

I posted that song to litkicks a couple of years ago. I was kind of serious, I mean I expected to be put down in a trashy kind of way for posting such trashy music among all the that jazz. But nobody ever commented, they just let me slide on that one.

thanks for the tunes.
I still think you guys were a great duet

but don't let me encourage you
I got a tin ear.

[Lightning Rod]

well, I had to download the software
but it was worth it, truck
thank you for the tune
I'm as much of a redneck as you are

I think this a perfectly charming tune

I'm really enjoying this song and other songs by Gene Kelton. Thanks, 'truckin!

litkicks was more than a couple of years ago. More like 5 years ago. Maybe 4.

Thanks.... I think we were great as a duet, too, but hey can't have a duet with only one person so I'm going solo.

LR - I didn't need to download any software. A player just opened up and there it was.

The first time I heard that song I thought of this passage from The Scarlet Letter.

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along
with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their
miserable fortune, as it was Roger Chillingworth's, when some
mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her
sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the
marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her
as the warm reality

Chapter 15 Hester and Pearl

I don't think Hawthorne or Fat Bob ever thought that the mightier touch might belong to a woman.

I am just a red necked hippy skid from Mobtown.
