And Great Was the Wonder in Heaven Thereat

Arlo Guthrie is a...Republican?

Granted, probably not from the Palin wing, but, as Samuel Johnson pointed out in his analogy of the dog walking on its hind legs, "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

  1. Through the windless wells of wonder
    By the throbbing light machine
    In a tea leaf trance or under
    Orders from the king and queen

    Songs to aging children come
    Aging children, I am one

    People hurry by so quickly
    Dont they hear the melodies
    In the chiming and the clicking
    And the laughing harmonies

    Songs to aging children come
    Aging children, I am one

    Some come dark and strange like dying
    Crows and ravens whistling
    Lines of weeping, strings of crying
    So much said in listening

    Songs to aging children come
    Aging children, I am one

    Does the moon play only silver
    When it strums the galaxy
    Dying roses will they will their
    Perfumed rhapsodies to me

    Songs to aging children came
    This is one

  2. Well one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small and the one that mother gives you turns you into a....Republican!*

    If we get a story about Eric Clapton becoming a Republican I'm going to join the Baja Marimba Party or something.

    *Sigh. I know that was Jefferson Airplane. I was simply pointing to the drug culture most of these people came out of so humor me, just humor me.

  5. ' Guthrie announced he’s supporting Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the maverick Republican candidate for president. “I love this guy,” Guthrie declared in a press release issued by the Paul campaign. “Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there.”

    “I’m with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes [the Constitution] has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago,” Guthrie said in the endorsement. “I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy.” '
