Damn, I feel so tired and my back hurts... I can't- Cough. I can't eat this banana, can't you see how old and dry is it? See?
It's the work of an enemy stand!
I remember three months when I fell on rough times. I spent the entire spring living in a pickup, with only a few CD's to listen to ( GD greatest hits was the main one I listened to). Towards the end of may, I got an early morning paper route to make money, and I decided to park in a hotel parking lot to get a few hours of sleep before heading out at midnight. At about 10 pm a cop knocks on my window, asking me what I was doing. I told him my story, and he said "well, son, this here's a known narcotic area. I'd like to search you just to make sure you're on the up and up." I refused, just wanting to sleep. Guy calls in the K9 unit, a dog starts going crazy (smelling some old food I had I guess) and they pull me out, and spend the next TWO HOURS searching me and my try k, determined to find something. They didn't of course, since I couldn't afford any dope even if I wanted it. They gave a halfhearted apology, and I had to immediately go to work on about 2 hours of sleep. That's why to this day this song holds special meaning to me, with the line "I like to get some sleep before I travel...but if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in." And of course the line "what a long strange trip its been" reminds me of that entire three months. Hard times. Great song.
Currently unemployed, lacking sleep, broke and down to my last 2 stoges. Still grateful. Always grateful. This music gets me through.
Does anyone else's mood change with certain songs, like it just chills you, or i'll listen to certain genre's depending on my mood, agree?
