Nice. I need to get more Zappa. I only have Live at Filmore and Chungas Revenge
I only have one KLF , the one with the sheep on

Zappa's Stairway to Heaven is hard to beat.

When I had my hip done I was fine with paracetamol.

2 am, Dr Anaesthesia And His Trolley of Wonders came round.

Said I was fine.

"Come on man, I've got some serious sh#t here."

"OK then".

Diamorphine.

iPod on, Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb on.

Wow. Just....Wow!

When I was 17 I went to the London Planetarium for their Laser rock show. Laser patterns matched to rock tracks. Genesis, Dance on a Volcano, Yes (was a big fan), Boston, etc.

"Ok, a few ground rules" said the guy. "No smokin', jokin' tokin', or pokin'..."

As much as I love the original Ecclesiastes version, this one has good points too.

I've always liked his artistic/realistic today's slant on things.

Eminem's lyrics

• "My mother reproduced like the komodo dragon"
  
• "And had me on the back of a motorcycle, then crashed in"
  
• "The side of locomotive with rap, I'm loco"
  
• "It's like handing a psycho a loaded handgun"
  
• "Michelangelo with a paint gun in a tantrum"
  
• "Bout to explode all over the canvas"

This is a great idea!   I change my music, like most folks, with my mood.   I drive and frequently give people a ride and I tell them, "welcome aboard.   You have to listen to elderly music, but don't worry, it won't leave a lasting effect."  A lot of the time, they are surprised that the music they are hearing is so old.   

So.  A series of lifetime soundtracks.  We have happy times, and sad times, and melancholy times, and angry times.   I have thought before that I should be carrying a small external speaker which played my lifetrack of the moment.   I will think about this and post later.   Thanks for the inspiration!

lyrics translated by robo goog:

It's 4pm, the sun is falling, it's time
For Picon Jenlain-amber vermilion.
I'm off on a rodeo, my brain arched,
I turn on my stereo, BlackMetal at full blast all night I stay up...
Every night I stay up
At Chaise-Dyable. (Chair of the Devil)

At Chaise-Dyable
The air from the peaks is a dope more hardcore than the strongest psychotropic drugs.
At Chaise-Dyable
The breath of the forests comes coldly to stick itself into the suburbs
And roars like a devil, bounces against the abbey - impenetrable fortress -
Where rebellious and wild monks dress like crows
And have mugs straight out of the Middle Ages.

Downstairs from my house is the Senouire valley. The old people ask me why I settled here. I tell them I like landscapes. They answer me: do you like ghosts?

Later at 11pm I hear the sound of a tractor, I glance out the window: it's the old man plowing like a knight
In the valleys of non-being
And I realize to what extent this solitary, all these solitary people, must bend under the weight of all these sinister evenings.
I remember that just behind my house, the empty farm is that of two suicides and that the other neighbor further up there, bought the farm of a hanged man too. And I start to gawk

Thinking of all these villages whose cemetery is bigger than the village, and whose war memorial has more names than inhabitants.

I think about my life
this dark novel written by a sado
Where I see clearly as in a glory hole
Then I have hot sweats, a lumbago
I sweat halos
Of tears of alcohol.

I remember the hatred
When I was crazy, when I was alive
And then the Casadean nights
When I took more pleasure in drinking
Than fucking.
I wanted to be a survivalist me
But since pain is my queen
I would have ended up a mortalist
A jaded asshole
In a wooded hole…

When I got there there was a Christ in the attic
On my guitar I put it
Turned it over.
Am I going crazy or what, will you believe it?
But in good mocking French
Here is this statue
Shouting at me at the top of its lungs:
"Come on, you haven't killed anyone
Wait until your end rings
This life was your punishment
And gently
You've served your sentence.

Come on, you haven't killed anyone
May your liver abandon you
This life has taunted you like a hyena
But calmly
You've eaten your hatred."

And calmly, I ate my hatred.
And calmly, I ATE MY HATE.
