before you go to sleep each night. It's a great shower song to. It's always important to remind yourself how great it is to live at a time when there is a living chihuahua on earth to guide us in these latter days.
I got one stuck this weekend that led me almost to the point of rage. "O, Say What is Truth." It was always one of my favorites. I loved the exaltation of truth and honor.
My TBM older sister is taking Institute classes. I guess old people not in college can do that. She has been taking Church History types of classes. She remarked a while back on what she sees as my extensive knowledge and asked where it came from. Study. Then she wanted to know if I still had the books now that I was out as she thought one of the men in her class might like to buy them. Over the weekend I pulled the books out of storage and worked on typing up a list. Some of the books are standard history, like the seven volume set. Some are alternative viewpoints.
I don't foresee ever wanting to use them again. After all, I should be getting over this whole mess. I began to worry about what would happen to the alternative view points. I could see a book burning on the horizon. I may not want the books any more, but should volumes of truth be destroyed. This is what led to my contemplation of "truth". I became angry because of the change in modom from veneration of absolute truth to the veneration of the situation truth promulgated by the current guru, screw you, that leads them. I think if I don't get an offer I like, I will just dumpster them. Then I can get beyond the current song running through my head and lay my rage to rest.
How something from Three Dog Night instead. Like maybe, "I Must Let the Show Go On"?
You know, the one about Jan-Michael Vincent as a hippie drafted into the Marines during Vietnam. The song is by Marty Cooper, but I can't find the lyrics anywhere. I think Harry Chapin sang it. All I can remember is "Tribes are gathering, tribes are gathering", and "God will forgive each lonely soldier for what he is and what he does".
I always get stupid songs that I hate stuck in my head. "Sharin' the Night Together", Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. "Blinded by the Light", Manfred Mann. "Dream Weaver". Any ballad by Foreigner, but especially "I Want to Know What Love is". Or how about TV commercial songs? Campbell's Soup, "Possibilties". My latest brain scrambler, "Cripple Creek", by The Band.
I had a song stuck in my head for about 3 weeks recently. Luckily it's a pretty good song, but after day 3 I was about to go bonkers. Open it if you dare:
Have you seen that frightening commercial with Eddie Money singing "Two Tickets to Paradise," his lips curled up in a sidelong sneer and his peepers bulging like goldfish eyes?
