365 10/24

 

They don't scam, don't fight

Don't oppress an equal's given right

Starve the poor so they can be well-fed

365 8/4

 

And the wind keeps roaring

And the sky keeps turning grey

And the sun is set

The sun will rise another day

365 12/2

 

You don't think there's time to stop

There's time, enough for you to lay your head down, tonight

Let it wash away

All those yesterdays

365 4/17

Hold me and make it the truth

That when all is lost there will be you

365 1/1

Cuz to the universe, I don't mean a thing

And there is just one word and I still believe

And it's love... love, love, love, love

365 1/31

With no power, nothing to do

I still remember, why don't you?

365 2/6

I don't show, I don't share

I don't need, yeah, what you have to give

365 9/28

Can I be here all alone?

Clear a path to my home

365 5/20

Just a little time before we leave

Stop light plays its part so I would say you've got a part

365 9/9

It's no crime to escape

There's still time, so escape 

365 5/13

This is my hope in an alleyway

365 11/9

All my pieces set me free

365 10/3

Where they have more

they take more 

Nirvana: Live at the Paramount

Last night I watched Nirvana’s Live at the Paramount.  The concert was filmed on Halloween of 1991.  I was stunned by how fresh and direct the band still sounded, how young they looked, and how the music still resonates.  The movie brilliantly captures the last moment of the band before they became superstars. 

My last Halloween at The Village of Pine Run was in 1991.  Pine Run was a rough community of townhouses and apartments that sat on the wrong side of the old train tracks.  We had lived there since I was four. 

In ’91, I was a junior in High School.  On Halloween after school, I worked out in the weight room.  I caught a ride home from Jamie Skelly.  We listened to Public Enemy’s Apocalypse ’91… The Enemy Strikes Black.  “Can’t Truss It” was blaring out from the uncovered Jeep.
