Listening to American Roots on NPR

I'm going to be a wheel someday, Los Lobos
and it feels like 1956 again summer time the living is easy and her daddy was rich
she got a brand new ford convertible for her sweet 16th birthday

top down cruising listening to Fats
.
True Love

you look like your giving that prep school boy, chceck me out expression. or maybe your just blinking

i heard about fats...felt kind of bad for careing because there are so many others whom i don't know of. but still...

met her at her sweet 16 party, went steady for five years. that pic from our engagement party. Never married, that is as close as i ever been to married. I was struggling in pre med, she said lets get married I will quit college and get a job. Came home told my mother, she said oh jackie there are plenty of fish in the sea. SO I said no.

Move dam it sparky move. What difference does it make if she is a lesbian.

momma tried
but she broke my heart
been a long lonely trip

the penalty
momma boys
get what they deserve

you look a little young for engagement.

I was trying to put a face on the tragedy
all those dead bodies overwhelming
I wanted to feel as if i had lost someone I loved
kind of like what The Diary Of Anne Frank does for me with the holocaust.
I lost many family members in that but I don't know them, I hope some survived but no one has heard from them in sixty years, so I think not.

not sure maybe about 19 or 20
the last time i saw her she was pregnant
it was in the lobby of a movie theatre
I walked into a plate glass door
bonged my head hard

But i am ok now.
talk at you later
back to work

rock and roll
saving my soul
I love you fats

Eh, still, you look like Elvis.

check out the nose, that was before it looked like a pigs tail. I think I see a similarity to my great grandfather in the avatar.

Do i look vain? Yeah Elvis.

A small man but very dangerous. Everytime I see a small peach I think of him.

We worked in a produce wharehouse around the inner harbor in Baltimore. We were sorting peaches one day and he says "Them peaches ain't no good they got muthafukers in them." I had no idea wha he meant. I was looking for worms or something. Then he holds up a small peach and says "that's a muthafuker"

I appreciate the comeback mousey, but I was so I dropped my cigarette, I jumped up to look for it, couldn't find it so i sat back down. Then I had to jump up again because I sat on it. ouch
