Premium Member Remembering Warren Zevon

(1943-2003)

He was a renegade. 
He was a rebel all his days.
Then something broke inside. And I, I --  
I cried and cried when Warren died.

The river rolled over the rocks
Moving in a spirited motion
Rock n roll through the valley
The mountains danced above

A Welsh Girl who loved Rock 'N Roll
Had little or no self-control
She flew off to France
Where she split her pants
Astraddle Le Grand Merhin Dol

That will be the day
another Buddy Holly
in the frame of fame
delighting the connoisseur
with the truth of Rock 'n' Roll.

There once was a dinosaur dance,
Which was great for lizard romance.
As T Rex stole the show,
When he jived to rock ‘n’ roll,
Marc Bolan didn’t stand a chance.

ELVIS

Elvis was King;
Rock 'n Roll made all things swing,
And Jiving was the 'thing'
dropping a shilling
        .. in  the snug juke box
    Presley,then
so unorthodox.

Skiffle was on a roll,
we danced to Nat King Cole,
Elvis was King;

And Jiving was the 'thing'

Fifty years have just slipped by...

Rockstar

Sex drugs and rock n' roll,
a rockers lifestyle may seem
the way to go.

You would
think they're worth their
weight in gold, yet gold can
be melted and poured away.

A rockers lifestyle may lead
to his own doomsday

Rock N Roll Soul

Rock and roll
Soothes my soul
I want-
To hunt-

The Stones down,
To ask of stage theatrics,
And what it is to rock,

Led Zepplin wants 
To tell my soul,
How to rock
And how to roll,

With the tunes-
That make me swoon.

Premium Member Patti Smith

Patti dropped her pants, turned away from the river, reached down and touched her toes, and squirted back a big spray of piss. The river rose, spilled the banks, washed away the world. Now we are free, at last, at last, on this empty empty planet.

Rock N Roll

Crazy infidel
A mad obscene man
Beat echo
Never again
Please never again
Lips like honey suckle
Safety no more
Electronic madness
Bushy long hair
Walking in Chicago
A mad headache
Drowned
Tipsy
Out of your brain
Bang Bang Bang
Never more

Climate Change Baloney

Man-made Climate change now dogma, must not question nor belie
'Debate is over! close down research! it is heresy to deny'
If that's what we now call science, we've caught an intellectual cold
For it's
"Phoney baloney, plastic banana, good time rock-n-roll"

Cowboys

I’m more New York than Nashville
I’m more classic than cowgirl chic
more rock n roll than country twang
not much for fishing down by the creek
I like being in the city
not a cabin on a country mile
that doesn't mean I
don't like cowboys
every once in awhile

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Rock and roll is old they say, but then so am I!

Snow Flakes and Easter Lilies

Snow flakes and Easter lilies scatter the ground
Winter time and Spring time seem to be having a round
Like a game of tug of war each side wants control
Today it was winter who wanted to rock n roll
Tomorrow maybe Spring time will give it a heave ho
Guess we won’t know till tomorrow though

Fame may not buy love
Or hold its hand
On a hard day's night-
Yesterday's in the past
Ecce Cor Meum maybe the one to last.
