Been listening to BOB Dylan here at Starbucks. Gives me hope that I still have time.hambone wrote:The new Dylan record "Modern Times", good stuff he's gonna win some awards. Similar to Love and Theft, but the band is tighter, the sound is more dreamy/ambient, and Dylan sounds less haggard (someone musta gave him a cough drop he sounds relieved). Go get it if you have the cabbage.

I thought that "stinkfoot" was a term for the bay owners who were hippes? I'm really not sure where exactly it came from. I'm just glad that this forum happened and I hope it grows.
Good luck on your travels and bus on!

In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
Under the water
(water)
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin
(mornin)
By yer radio
(radio!)
Do the walls close in tsuffocate ya
You aint got no friends . . .
An all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been leadin gotta go?
Well, let me straighten you out
About a little russian restaurant I know . . .
(get yer shoes n socks on people, its right aroun the corner!)
Out through the night
An the whisperin breezes
To the place where they keep
The imaginary diseases
Out through the night
An the whisperin breezes
To the place where they keep
The imaginary diseases . . .
Now scientists call this disease bromidrosis
(thats right!)
And well they should
Even napoleon knows that
But us regular folks
Who might wear a tennis shoe
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of:
Stink foot
Yknow, my python boot is too tight
I couldnt get it off last night
A week went by, an now its july
I finally got it off
An my girl-friend cry
You got stink foot! stink foot, darlin
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stink foot! stink foot! I aint lyin,
Can you rinse it off, dyou suppose?
Here fido . . . fido . . .
Here fido . . . bring the slippers little puppy
Yes, thats a good dog! yes!
Arf, arf, arf!
[crash-crumble-bump-bump-bump]
Sick . . .
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
We have a song for you about flying saucers
This song is going to be sung for you by george
And the name of the song is inca roads

Hot tip?
But I digress.
Yeah really, those ol' coots can still kick it. Lookit all those old bluesmen who went to the grave howling, Son House, John Hurt, John Hooker..all old men and still making their art to the end of their lives. Gives me hope too...
And the gent I received my bus from was 83 and very young. Actual conversation:
Me- will you take 2k for it?
gent- too high, go lower.
(he then proceeded to lowball me 300 bucks off what I offered)
Last I spoke with him, he bought a '73 so he could have a poptop. Cool.
But I digress.

Star*ucks was the only place open yesterday, you shoulda seen the line of delinquents streaming out the door! I said a hearty "screw that" and my friend's wife graciously made me a nice cup o' joe.
Star*ucks is just 1 of a zillion mega-corps trying to take your $$$$. I think they get singled out too much, just another symptom, not the disease.

The first "nice" motorcycle I ever bought was from my 83 year old land lord. It was an 800 (Honda PC800) and was getting a little too big for him, so he just rode his 250cc Helix scooter every day...
A couple years later I stopped in to see him and he had bought a new Shadow, another 800 I think. That guy loved life.
