They like it with a lot of style

That really, really drives 'em wild"......

Act Naturally - Buck Owens

 

They're gonna put me in the movies

They're gonna make a big star out of me

And all I gotta do is act naturally

Idiot Wind: Dylan (someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press). [obviously subjective, but this is his best, and angriest, song].

Fail Grasp on the Big Picture - Eagles

 

Good old boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
Cover to cover
That ain't what's going on
Journalism's dead and gone
โ€œWhen the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.โ€ - Jimi Hendrix

Did you see his name by the Kinks

 

"Did you see his name in the local paper

Stole a tin of beans from a cut-priced grocery store?

The judge said "He must pay"

So, he put him on probation and the

paper gave his name"......

What's the frequency Kenneth? by REM

 

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music,TV,

movies, magazines

Richard said "Withdrawl in disgust is not the same as apathy"

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for tooth

You said the irony was the shackles of youth "......
