"here for good time, not long time"

The title refers to a quote in a Bigfoot autobiography JG just handed down for me to take a gander at. Yes, re-read that and note that it's a Bigfoot autobio. It's a joke, and a funny one at that. Even the publisher has a funny name (Manic D Press).

I think about Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 – October 29, 1971), and Jimmy Dean (I don't know much about him but he seems to be a solid archetype of the LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG mentality...Chris Farley/John Belushi. Those who were here for the good times, not a long time. Then there are all those who have been here for long times, not good times...like O.J., John Grisham, and starlight mints. And then there's Grace Slick (10/30/39) who helps us re-define the paradigm of a Middle ground. Get caught up chasing white rabbits up rabbit holes, sprinklin' snow on bowls, spark butane, we got the Rolls, singing souls still pay tolls, and 69 years for whom the bell tolls.

We joke that all blogs become music critiques at some point along the way, probably cause music is an intrinsic element to the creative soul, which 49.5% of Bloggers posess. But this is really just a shout out to brethren who passed before I came to exist. A triple-scorpio who died on his motorcycle at the threshhold of what could've been a long career with ups and down and flushes and busts...still gets props from music lovers today, and always will.
