Young @ Heart

This is the best movie I’ve seen in quite a while. While the premise seems comical, (a group of octogenarians singing punk, new wave and funk songs), I was sharing in the groove right from the start of the movie. I don’t want to give too much away, but they ROCKED the shit out of ‘I Wanna Be Sedated.’  Go see this flick. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Praise be to Allah!

Hockey playoffs start Thursday and this homeboy from Hockeytown couldn’t be happier. The next two weeks are THE best two weeks in the sports year. Detroit starts off with a series against Nashville (why does Nashville have a hockey team?!?!?!) that will hopefully start their run as the Western conference champs. (Why is Detroit in the Western Division while they’re in the Eastern Time Zone?!?!?!)

Things I’ve learned….

1)  You can’t trust what people say they’re going to do or what they believe in. When the chips are down, they’re misanthropes. Very few people hold themselves to the same standards they believe in.

2)  When people start pointing the finger of blame at others, they’re actually pointing it at themselves. They’re quick to point out the faults in others but won’t accept their own.
3)  There are very few people you can count on. Be thankful of the ones you can.

Brokedown Palace

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.

Going to leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll.

In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds Ive come since I first left home.

Goin home, goin home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
