Lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/sturgillsimpson/calltoarms.html

"Call To Arms"

I done Syria, Afghanistan,Iraq and Iran
North Korea, tell me where does it end
Well the bodies keep piling up with everyday
How many more of them they're gonna send
Well they sent their sons and daughters off to die
for some war to control the heroin
Well, son I hope you don't grow up
Believin' that you've got to be a puppet to be a man

Well they cut off your hair and put a badge on your arm
Strip you off your identity
Tell you to keep your mouth shut boy and get in the line
Meet your maker overseas
Wearin' that Kim Jong-il hat while your grandma is selling pills stat
Meanwhile I'm wearing 'can't pay my fucking bills' hat

Nobody is lookin' up to care about a drone
All too busy lookin' down at our phone
Our ego's begging for a food like a dog from our feed
Refresing obsessively until iur eyes start to bleed
They serve up distractions and we eat them with fries
Until the bombs fall out of our fucking skies

Turn off the TV
Turn off the news
Nothin' to see here
They're serving the blues

Bullshit on my TV
Bullshit on my radio
The Hollywood telling me how to be me
The bullshit's got to go

Ralph Stanley, bluegrass music legend, dies at 89

Glad we got to see him before he was gone.

Ralph Stanley, blue grass legend... Oh Death

Becky got us tickets to see Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys which features his grand son. Saw them at the Iron Horse in Northampton Mass. Sat right up front. Good show, although Ralph Stanley didn't play banjo, late eighties probably the last chance to see him sing. Particularly poignant when he sang Oh Death. Well the extra cool part was Becky won a guitar and the band autographed it!

Some nice folks we met took some pictures for us.

Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy
Live 72
https://youtu.be/pSQ1akE2CcM

I usually think of Steve Winwood as a keyboardist...
He was a great guitarist as well. Cool Gibson Firebird he is playing.

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

That was good. Nice to see country that isn't blind nationalism.

With the horn section kind of makes it Chicago Country.

I called it hillbilly R&B.

I just hope that was a solid state keyboard in a Hammond case, and they didn't actually destroy a B-3 on stage.

I had a buddy who got a B3 from Army surplus auction. It included the instructions on how to destroy it to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

Lately I find most of my favorite music via NPR.

This one doesn't have pretty visuals, but the sound is amazing. St. Paul and the Broken Bones: it's like Susan Boyle had a younger brother into Alabama Soul.

I used to have dreams that I hadn't really graduated Boot Camp, that it was just a dream I had. But, honestly, I have had more psychological repercussions from video post production.... PPTSD, Post Production Traumatic Stress Disorder.    I dream I'm back in the edit suite working 24 hours straight and the mastering deck eats the master tape right before we duplicate 50 tapes to send out to TV stations to air that evening.
