    Ruby I would love to relive it too.. but having the wisdom I have today.. I was 16 when I hit Haight Street.. I lived for the moment with no thought or care of tomorrow and put myself in harms way many many times.. I'm lucky to have made it out alive and with no major brain damage or disease.. the GODDESS must have been workin' overtime to keep my alive.. I try to think I was spared because I had a mission in life..maybe someday I will realize what that mission is and use it to bring peace on earth..

    Yep....lots of good songs here...but this has to top the list. Bob was the poet of a generation.

    btw, not only did I first learn to play "house of the rising sun" on guitar, but so did my son!

    I'm having trouble trying to sleep

    I'm counting sheep but running out
    As time ticks by, still I try
    No rest for crosstops in my mind
    On my own, here we go.

    My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
    Dried up and bulging out my skull
    My mouth is dry, my face is numb
    Fucked up and spun out in my room
    On my own, here we go.

    My mind is set on overdrive
    The clock is laughing in my face
    A crooked spine, my senses dulled
    Passed the point of delerium
    On my own, here we go.

    Tales of Brave Ulysses.....

    You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
    But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.

    And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
    And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
    How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
    For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.

    And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
    And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
    And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
    Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

    The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
    And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

    Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
    And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
    With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
    By the sirens sweetly singing.

    The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
    And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

    I LOVE CREAM......

    I was either or both, John Denver's Follow Me, or his This Old Guitar. That's who I was back then.

    If I had to put a TUNE to my lifes soundtrack, I'd put Bob James's "Angela". You know it better as the theme from the TV show "TAXI".

    hey, you all know I love KEITH RICHARDS, but this song, that I've chosen, isn't just because Keith sings it...:)

    so..

    Happy - The Rolling Stones

    Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
    It always burned a hole in my pants.
    Never made a school mama happy,
    Never blew a second chance.
    I need a love to keep me happy,
    I need a love to keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
    Always took candy from strangers,
    Didn't wanna get me no trade.
    Never want to be like papa,
    Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
    I need a love to keep me happy,
    I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.
    Baby, won't ya keep me happy.
    Baby, please keep me
    I need a love to keep me happy,
    I need a love to keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
    Never got a flash out of cocktails,
    When I got some flesh off the bone.
    Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
    When I can fly way back home.
    I need a love to keep me happy,
    I need a love to keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
    Baby, baby keep me happy.
