Hi Markhsmit, A song to ponder: Busted flat in Baton Rouge waiting for a train, Feeling just as faded as my Jeans! Bobby thumbed a Diesel down just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans! I took my Harpoon out of my dirty red bandana, And was playing soft while Bobby sang the Blues! With those windshield wipers slapping time, And Bobby¹s hand enclosed in mine, We sang-up every song that driver knew Freedom¹s just another word for nothing left to lose! Freedom ain¹t worth nothing! But it¹s free! Feeling Good! Was easy, Lord! when Bobby sang the blues! Brother that was good enough for me! Good enough for me, and Bobby McGhee!
