9x21 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 COLORADO KOOL AIDE (Written by Phil Thomas) Johnny Paycheck Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas. Was drinkin' Colorado Kool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans, An' we was....what's that you say? What's Colorado Kool-Aid? Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream. It'll set you head on fire an' make your kidneys scream, Oh, it sure is fine. Yeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times. But you know every beer joint that you've ever been in, Some big, mean drunk who just ain't got no friend, Sure enough, he wants to fight, Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in sight. Well, he took him a big swallow of beer, And he spit in my Mexican friends ear. And, sure enough, that made my buddie real mad. That's somethin' like he ain't never had. Well, sir, he pulled out a big, long switch blade knife; Quick as a whistle he began to slice. An, that big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears, Lookin' down at the floor, an' one of his ears. Ha, he cut that thing off, even with the sideburns. You might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a durn. But he was a gentleman about it, an' bent over and with a half way grin, Picked it up and handed it back to him. He said: "Now big man, you get the urge to spit a little beer, "Just open up your hand there, and spit it in your own ear. "Won't be no trouble that way." That's what I heard him say. And I said: "Barmaid, set us up a round of that Colorado Kool-Aid. "An while you're up their, bring this big fella, here, a box of Band aids." Now let me tell you: if you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas, Decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Kool-Aid, An' maybe talk to some Mexicans, An' you get the urge to get a little tough, Better make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muff. Hey, ain't that right big man? I said ain't that right big man? Ah, hell he can't hear, not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear. Hey barmaid, bring us all a big, tall glass of that Colorado Kool-Aid. How about it? How you doin', big man? Still got your ear there in your hand? Fade out.

j2fast Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Judy Collins singing Amazing Grace on the Whales & Nightingales album. Same song but bagpipes for me Every time someone mentions bagpipes I think of the tribute to golfer Payne Stewart after he was killed in the plain crash. There was a lone person playing Going Home on bagpipes walking off into the mist/fog that was hanging over the course that morning. I was only able to see it as it was broadcast on TV but it was one of the most moving tributes seen. Especially with the person playing the bagpipes fading into the mist as he got further away.

Sam Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I kinda look at it the same as Tightloop. There are times in your life when things are happening. Maybe things that change your life so much they define who you are. 1986 was an extremely influential year in my life. "The sky was cold as fiberglass, the streets as grey as guns, your eyes looked like a photograph, and I was stunned. " The song at the time was "Stunned" by T-Bone Burnett from the 1983 album "Proof Through the Night". It's giving me chills right now, just thinking about it.

dajarrel Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Has to be NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN....moody blues.The song brings a pleasant memory from my youth Jim Jim, I was looking back at the songs again and can't help but remembering how much I enjoyed the Moody Blues years ago. Nights in White Satin was IMHO one of the best. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
