Hey Chris... I think this is the tune we were talking about...
Jimi Hendrix - Angel
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday,
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's gonna come back tomorrow
And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
fly on through the sky,
fly on my sweet angel,
tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"
Sure enough this woman came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
"today is the day for you to rise,
take my hand, you're gonna be my man,
you're gonna rise."
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
fly on through the sky,
fly on my sweet angel,
forever I will be by your side"
Here is one of the songs I remembered from my childhood...
I think I was 9years old when I learned it on bass. It now has a 'whole nother' meaning to me...
Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression
Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul
Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Ow! ow!
Music sweet music sweet music
Sweet music sweet music
Hooo!
Well, I made it through customs and arrived to another check point with x-ray and feds runnin' the whole show. It was just wonderful to come back to the country I was born in and have other 'Mercans' treat me like I was picked out of a line up for whatever crime and treated like a piece of dog excrement! It was such a beautiful thing. When you are treated better just about any other place in the world, why the fuck did I come back?
To my in-laws: I remember you guys in a drunken state [any given night] this time it was 4 of July. Mother-in law came out with a birthday cake singing happy birthday to America, and saying Love it or Leave it. I thought I was going to puke! By the way you guys, Go Fuck Yourselves! Stay the hell away from my family!!! I would tell you in person but I don't want you within 100 feet from me or my family. You are so patriotic but can"t even show your love for your own flesh and blood let alone your own nieghbors. So, Fuck You, okay? I feel like my whole world has gone to shit! BUT... it hasn't!!! We're OK!! We are still here, DAMN IT!!!!! WE ARE STILL HERE!!!!
