Two Left Feet

 I'm a thigh man. I like thighs hot, meaty and juicy. I could eat thighs all day everyday. I'm not that interested in breasts, legs or wings. When I visit Popeye's, KFC, or any restaurant that serves chicken, I only ever order thighs. I'm asked if I want spicy or mild, and I always opt for mild. I also always make sure that they understand that I must have a right thigh and a left thigh. I was at Popeye's the other day and I wanted to be sure that I received my order exactly to my specifications. The girl behind the counter appeared a bit confused by my order and went to consult with the manager. They spoke softly among themselves - I couldn't hear what they were saying, but they kept looking at me. I wasn't sure why. Then they started sifting through their stock. I was in a hurry. I had an important appointment, and I wanted to eat quickly and get to my destination. The line was growing behind me and I could sense the frustration of my fellow customers. I a...

God Bless Timothy Leary

  In the realm of the mind, where the consciousness expands, Timothy Leary, a guide with visionary hands. Through the corridors of perception, he led the way, A prophet of the mind, in the dawning of a new day. God bless Timothy Leary, mind explorer , In the labyrinth of thought, his spirit we find.

God bless Timothy Leary, in the mind's ascent, In the exploration of thought, he left a footprint. ...

Hot Tuna Rocks! ~ James McBride

  (Verse 1) On the edge of the blues, where the waters ran deep, There was a band that rocked, a promise to keep. Hot Tuna, sailed on the sonic tide, In the heart of the groove, where legends reside.

(Chorus) Hot Tuna rocks, in the river's embrace, A sonic journey, a timeless space. Strings that echo, like a rolling stream, In the current of their music, we find our dream. (Bridge) In the jam sessions, where the solos entwine, Hot Tuna's rhythm, like aged wine. ...

I Love Gracie Slick ~ James McBride

Thank You, Owsley ~ James McBride

  (Verse 1) In the heart of the counterculture's haze, A chemist brewed a potion, a psychedelic craze. Owsley, the alchemist of the mind, In the laboratory of love, a legacy we find. (Chorus) Thank you, Owsley, for the colors you've shown, In the kaleidoscope of consciousness, we've flown. Through the acid dreams and the electric glow, In the garden of perception, your seeds still grow. (Verse 2) In the Summer of Love, a sonic wave, A grateful journey that Owsley gave. Tabs of wisdom, in a paper rhyme, A grateful nation, dancing through time. (Pre-Chorus) In the laboratory of the cosmic blend, He painted the canvas where dreams transcend. Thank you, Owsley, for the trip we've known, In the psychedelic realm, where minds have flown. (Chorus) Thank you, Owsley, for the colors you've shown, In the kaleidoscope of consciousness, we've flown.

Ode To Jack Casady ~ James McBride

  (Verse 1) In the heart of the rhythm, where the bass strings hum, There's a legend with a groove, and his name is Casady, Jack, the one. With fingers that dance on the strings so bold, He's the heartbeat of the music, a story to be told. (Chorus) Ode to Jack Casady, the maestro of the low, In the realm of the bass, where legends grow. Through the notes and the riffs, a melody so sweet, In the hands of Jack, the rhythm finds its beat. (Verse 2) In the early days of the Jefferson Airplane flight, He laid the foundation, with pure bass might. From Woodstock to the city lights aglow, Jack Casady's bass, a river's gentle flow. (Pre-Chorus) Through the decades, his fingers kept the time, A rhythm magician, in every paradigm. Ode to Jack Casady, in the bassline's trance, A musical journey, a lifetime dance. (Chorus) Ode to Jack Casady, the maestro of the low, In the realm of the bass, where legends grow. Through the notes and the riffs, a melody so sweet, In the hands of...
