Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ ‘long the street
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to keep your seat
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
They’ll stone ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “Good luck”
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll come back again
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car
They’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they’ll stone you when you walk all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say you are brave
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Parts of it had been passing thru my brain lately, for some reason...
I remember hearing that on the radio. It was a monster hit.
Bob’s gravelly ramble of a singing voice fit this song to a T. If a vocally superior singer had covered this song, somebody immediately impressive, such as Robert Goulet, the song would have lost it’s power, or it’s gravitas.
It would have simply become a recital of a well known recording.
3 drunks, 8 wheels=2 dead.
Of course he needs to go to jail - but maybe they should also be ticketed posthumously - being hockey players - maybe they flipped him off...
He did not even see them being in a blind rage at the other driver because the other driver did not see fit to drive like a drunken crazed imbecile.
That is what drunken rage driving like a lunatic says anyway.
And I do tend to believe him.
You are free to believe it was premediated based on things that did not happen of course. Which would make it murder in the first.
Actually if you count all the wheels - including the bicycles - there were 16 wheels, 3 cars and 2 bikes.
The jerk who killed them was the 3rd car back. He passed the 2nd car back on the left and then went around the 1st car on the right (who was moving wide to the left around the cyclists for more space between them).
Only 1 of the brothers was a pro hockey player and they were together that night as one of them (can’t remember which) was getting married the next day.
