This is the squalid, or moving, part of the story, and the scene changes. The people change, too. I'm still around, but from here on in, for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose, I've disguised myself so cunningly that even the cleverest reader will fail to recognize me.

ReplyDeleteHey you should have gone for the Heavy Metal Ukulele Singalong version of Revolution#9 at www.rogeranddave.net
ReplyDeleteKeith fell on me & my brother that year. He was being carried out of the after party for Tosh/SNL at One Fifth.
ReplyDeleteHe got popped right after that, correct?
All very good songs.
ReplyDeleteAnother good option would have been Roger Miller's "Engine Engine Number 9"
