Wednesday, November 6, 2024: Bob Seger - Roll Me Away


Took a look down a westbound roadRight away I made my choiceHeaded out to my big two-wheelerI was tired of my own voiceTook a bead on the northern plainsAnd just rolled that power on
 
12 hours out of Mackinac CityStopped in a bar to have a brewMet a girl and we had a few drinksAnd I told her what I'd decided to do
 
She looked out the window a long, long momentThen she looked into my eyesShe didn't have to say a thingI knew what she was thinkin'
 
Roll, roll me awayWon't you roll me away tonightI, too, am lost, I feel double-crossedAnd I'm sick of what's wrong and what's rightWe never even said a wordWe just walked out and got on that bikeAnd we rolledAnd we rolled clean out of sight
 
We rolled across the high plainsDeep into the mountainsFelt so good to meFinally, feelin' free
 
Somewhere along a high roadThe air began to turn coldShe said she missed her homeI headed on alone, oh, oh
 
Stood alone on a mountain topStarin' out at the Great DivideI could go east, I could go westIt was all up to me to decideJust then I saw a young hawk flyin'And my soul began to riseAnd pretty soonMy heart was singin'
 
Roll, roll me awayI'm gonna roll me away tonightGotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin'Keep searchin' 'til I find what's rightAnd as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlightAnd I said next timeNext timeWe'll get it right
 
Roll me away
Roll me away
Come on
Roll me away

Tuesday, November 5, 2024: TWOfer Tuesday - The "John Lennon Understands Me" Edition


It takes a long gone Brit to really express what I'm feeling about today. 

 I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
Oooh oh

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth, now

I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth, now-now
Just give me some truth

All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth, now
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth

 

Tonight I'll be glued to the television, but really all I'm doing is watching the wheels go round and round.

Saturday, November 2, 2024: Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine


 

ALL SAINTS DAY: Solemnity celebrated on the first of November. It is instituted to honour all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year.

ALL SOULS DAY:  The commemoration of all the faithful departed is celebrated by the Church on 2 November, or, if this be a Sunday or a solemnity, on 3 November. The Office of the Dead must be recited by the clergy and all the Masses are to be of Requiem, except one of the current feast, where this is of obligation.

All definitions per the CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA

And if we're going to dedicate an entire day to soul, I can't think of any better representation that Mr. Bill Withers.  Let's lean on him for today's shot of cool.
