It’s Friday! And not just any Friday... it’s the Friday preceding Memorial Day, which means it is the opening shot of a three-day weekend. Oh, boy!
Friday, of course, is the day for my Friday Random Ten, that infamous exercise in self-indulgence in which I put up a list of Choons coughed up randomly by my Little White Choon-Box. It’s a perfect way to get ready for a weekend that will see plenty of outdoor grilling, Hendrick’s gin-and-tonics, and general Good Times. The mood will turn more solemn on Monday as we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country... thus helping to ensure that we are free to enjoy those grilled foods, gin-and-tonics, and Good Times.
Having said all that, shall we see what’s playing? Let’s do:
- Falling Elevators - MC 900 Foot Jesus
- The History - Philip Glass, Notes on a Scandal
- Mound - Phish
The old man knows very well
Going down ’round the snowbank, there’s a mound
A mound that an old man knows good
Look who raises his shoe all over this mound
Right over the world in another rewind
And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
No one knows how far he traveled
Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound
Can he find some shelter?
He doesn’t know to behold what the cold frost can do
At the last till he realized he’d circled back around
Round a back circle, round a back realized
And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
Ice is all he was made of
The bitter blue, it’s frozen through
He went over to the mound
Reclining down his final thoughts
Were drifting to the time his life had shined
And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
