So "Martin", I thought you were going to stay out where the air is breathable.   But if you're happier down there, all we want is your happiness. You can take the boy out of the sewer but...

But the wayward wind (of the sewer) is a restless wind--a restless wind, that yearns to wander. And he was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind (of the sewer).

Hey, now it's a music thread.

GORDON LIGHTFOOT Song Lyrics

Minstrel Of The Dawn
(From the album "IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND")

The minstrel of the dawn is here
To make you laugh and bend your ear
Up the steps you'll hear him climb
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is he
Not too wise but oh so free
He'll talk of life out on the street
He'll play it sad and say it sweet
Look into his shining face
Of lonelines you'll always find a trace
Just like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue

A minstrel of the changin' tide
He'll ask for nothing but his pride
Just sit him down upon that chair
Go fetch some wine and set it there
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

A minstrel of the dawn is near
Just like a step 'n fetchit here
He's like an old time troubador
Just wanting life and nothing more
Look into his shining eyes
And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
Like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue

The minstrel boy will understand
He holds a promise in his hand
He talks of better days ahead
And by his words your fortune's read
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is gone
I hope he'll call before too long
And if you meet him you must be
The victim of his minstrelsy
He'll sing for you a song
The minstrel of the dawn

The Lord God said, "Let there be light!"

And Martin Gibson squinted and screamed, "TURN IT OFF!!!"

fuck that. I thought it was "menstrual of the dawn." Isn't that an old Gordon Clubfoot song?

Uh Oh, time for Ron to get offended and blow chunks in his shorts.

Just look at the thread titles--"Mudcat's Old Hippies" "and it is beautiful". Pure coincidence?
Hey man, feel the love.

I have to ask: Is there lots of weed in the Sargasso Sea?

I have often mentioned that once upon a time I was a hippie and was kind of proud of it. Long hair, enjoyed a good dube, hated the establishment, didn't trust older people, all that crap.

Gradually I grew up and actually got happier in life as common sense prevailed and real life experiences evolved into wisdom.

Is Mudcat the Sargasso Sea of old hippies?
