This song, another sneaky sleeper, I think of it…from “Vapor Trails”, the 2002 by RUSH. Sneaky motivator…let it soak in… "Ceiling Unlimited" It's not the heatIt's the inhumanityPlugged into the sweat of a summer streetMachine gun images passLike malice through the looking glass The slack-jaw gazeOf true profanityFeels more like surrender than defeatIf culture is …

Lyrics Post: “Running to Stand Still”
Pulled this one down again; an oft-repeated theme for this guy become a single parent almost a year back now. I’m sure my kids mom feels the same. All single parents do; even if you’re in ahold co-patenting 50/50 gig like we are. Damn! Just keep up, it’s rough sometimes…or at least, it’s about all …
Lyrics Post: “Lola”
Another one from way back; I think I first heard it in college. I’ve belted it out in sing-a-longs dozens of times. The Kinks brought it to us. What a gift. "Lola" I met her in a club down in old SohoWhere you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version - Coca-Cola:]C O …

Lyrics Post: “Beast of Burden”
It’s a cool song, “Beast of Burden” by The Rolling Stones. But it’s the beat, the drums, the drummer, that’s what this post is about. The band’s drummer, Charlie Watts, died this week at the age of 80. Listening to a remembrance on the radio, I was struck by two points. First, he is regarded …
