Comments on: Beck On Rock & Roll http://www.scooteroi.com/?p=2459 A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned.

VII harness to a lighter mountaineering sling made to a weld on top of the beam. Steel carabiner at the harness anchor-loop, for falling the line to the deck. Don't remember exactly what that was about, but that one was odd that day. And don't let the bastages crank on you, Don. Maybe I'm just getting tired and my sense of humor is becoming truly sick, but I myself can find considerable satisfaction in cultivating a magnificent garden of contempt, these years.

I am a person that has spent the better part of my adult life on my own making unique things happen with my mind and hands and all along I have been shocked at the numbers of people around that simply do not give one damn about what they are doing, on the job and other things. This fact is so stunning it is marveling (is that a word?). Now, due to rude circumstances I am (temporarily) regularly thrust into an environment where volumes of people are paid meager sums to not do much of anything at all and most of them are very good at it. 2 hours from now I have to co-mingle with these people again and its the equivalent to putting my brain on autopilot full sleep mode while still keeping my eyes open and aware of my surroundings. You can jail my body but you'll never cage my mind and as long as I don't mind it doesn't matter but it matters and I do mind and it takes all I can muster to endure. But like I said, this is temporary and again I will do as I must for that is my lot in this life. Onward.... Getting back to your original topic.

You & me in Corpus Christi, 1998. "A boy and his tape-measure." (Bob Looney @ Lakewood, same tour.) Thank, Scoots. You get it, and you're right. This theme is much bigger than just rock shows. (And I haven't seen that image in a long time.) {hah} I remember that.

You & me in Corpus Christi, 1998.

Thank, Scoots. You get it, and you’re right. This theme is much bigger than just rock shows.
