JUST A RIDE. 2.18. Theme: Banging it out for a guy that did so - Bill Hicks - his performance totally hitting the culture/ political mark. Which didn't make it easy for him ’Rage’ is the feel here… let's bang it out. Let's celebrate a guy with very real understanding of ’reality’.

lyrics

On the stage and ripping it bad, hitting dark places they think he's mad,
'course he loves his ma and his da - get by, it's only a ride.
Back to bed limp America, UK follow up nothing scarier,
bovine supine suckers media - get by, it's only a ride.
It's just a ride the great man says...
I don't fit this prison that we live in, we're a virus with shoes - I don't fit in.
Goodness is murdered mediocrity thrives - get by, it's only a ride.
Rant and rage and dick joke toe poke, Waico wako Bill saw beyond the joke, just love everybody or shut the fk up.
Can't watch TV five minutes longer looking for a big fkn nuclear bomber
tired of all this backslap bullshit -get by, it's only a ride.
It's just a ride the great mans says It's just a ride the great man says...

I had a lot of trouble picking a favourite track and it might change tomorrow and then the day after etc...etc...etc...Great album with mainly acoustic song structures and, as usual with Jd, some very fine and highly aware lyrics, general social observations and commensurate commentaries.
