My friend just called me 10 minutes ago. There is something going on the city. They've evacuated couple of blocks??? I can't find anything online. Anybody?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Geez keep it clean.

This town's full of moneygrabbers
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple--
Don't mind no maggots.

[dfwgator]

Cool tune, love Hackett's solo on that one.

Hank Jr. "If they aint got a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee. Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.

[OldFriend]

If you saw his wild man act upon learning of the death of his brother you would KNOW the man is not 'all there'.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Lost me on that one. Interesting line though.

Dig that old Genesis with Peter Gabriel! Those were the days when Phil Collins shut up and drummed. Of course a hero of mine is credited with Enossification on that recording.

Title track from the classic 1974 Genesis album. Back when they were good (meaning back when they had Peter Gabriel as the front man).

Oh, I saw it. I'm thinking he's a little bit bipolar.

It's about New York City fer cryin' out loud! C'mon now, "Clean" is a relative term here.

Okay.... let me think...

Oh, okay... how about:

Harry got up, dressed all in black
Went down to the station, and he never came back
They found his clothing scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street anymore, now
He had a home, love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl
One day, he crossed some line, and he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore...
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute...

TLLDOB is my all-time favorite album. Hundreds of listens and I still have no idea what its about. But who cares, the music is awesome, Tony's cross-handed piano opening to the title track still gives me goosebumps , and that incredible solo on "Riding the Scree"

[Hatteras]

oooh, that was a GOOD one!

I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"

[OldFriend]

Hard to chalk it up to grief, it was so over the top. Think I saw a sister too who was so dignified.

That district does not need a firebreather.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Early morning Manhattan,
Ocean winds blow on the land.
The Movie-Palace is now undone,
The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show,
It's the same old ending-time to go.
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream.
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Nightime's flyers feel their pains.
Drugstore takes down the chains.
Metal motion comes in bursts,
But the gas station can quench that thirst.
Suspension cracked on unmade road
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
And out on the subway,
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

The lamb seems right out of place,
Yet the Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face.
Somehow it's lying there,
Brings a stillness to the air.
Though man-made light, at night is very bright,
There's no whitewash victim,
As the neons dim, to the coat of white.
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Suzanne tired her work all done,
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
Wonder women draw your blind!
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind.
I'm Rael!
Something inside me has just begun,
Lord knows what I have done,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
On Broadway-
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in the air.

Oh. Faintly remember 1974. Was in USAF stationed in Kansas. No music was permitted in Kansas. Did you remember the Croce tune, New York's not my home?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Jess kiddin. I like Henley, Eagles, etc.. I hate "take a walk on the wild side".
