Journal

IT WAS 1969 AND THE GW WERE IN LOS ANGELES TO PLAY A COUPLE OF SHOWS AND PROMOTE "CANNED WHEAT" WHICH HAD JUST BEEN RELEASED ON RCA...WE WERE STAYING AT THE HYATT HOUSE (RIOT HOUSE) ON SUNSET. THERE ARE STILL BILLBOARDS ALL OVER LOS ANGELES TODAY FOR ENTERTAINMENT FUNCTIONS AND PERSONALITIES, BUT BACK IN 69, THEY WERE ALMOST ALL MUSIC BILLBOARDS. AND THE ONES ALONG SUNSET WERE THE MOST PRIZED IN THE INDUSTRY.
I KNOW WE HAVE A DAY OFF, SO I'VE POPPED A SMALL BLOTTER OF ACID THAT MORNING, JUST WANTING TO ENJOY A DAY IN L.A. IN THE "HEADSPACE OF JM" WHO, I HAD READ, WAS IN THAT PARTICULAR MENTAL STATE QUITE OFTEN. I CHECK INTO MY ROOM AND I HAVE A BALCONY OVERLOOKING SUNSET, DOWN UPON GENERAL L.A. (I AM 21 YEARS OLD)...

THIS ONE IS A SONG...JUST BANGED IT OUT TONIGHT...SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD, I
THINK...IT'S A 6/8 KINDA FEEL...LOTTA HARMONIES...THIS CAME
FAST...SOMETIMES GOOD ONES DO...
"LETTERS FOR FREE" HE WAS CENTURY BOUND WITH A TROUPE OF RENOWN THROUGH A SKY THAT WAS BLUER THAN SEA... AND WHEN QUESTIONED ABROAD, HE WOULD QUIP WITH A NOD... "SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE... YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..." THERE WERE SHIPS WITHOUT SAILS, THERE WERE SILVERY RAILS THERE WERE HOPES THAT WERE NEVER TO BE... BUT AS DARK AS THE RAIN, HE'D REPEAT THE REFRAIN... "SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE... YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..." (Bridge} IF THE MOOD WOULD BE RIGHT HE COULD CONQUER THE NIGHT AND THE KINGS COULD BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES... BUT THE QUESTION WAS SUCH IT DEMANDED TOO MUCH IT'S THE QUESTION THE HEART NEVER FREES... IN A LIFETIME OR TWO HE WAS DEEMED TO BE THROUGH THOUGH NO UNSPOKEN PAGE COULD AGREE... NEVER DOUBTING HIS WORTH, SAID A MAN OF THE… |

I KNEW SOMEDAY THE MUSIC MIGHT GET EVIL
I KNEW SOMEDAY I'D BE A HELPLESS PAWN I KNEW SOMETIME THAT I'D BE JUDGED WITH SINNERS CAN'T GO ON...CAN'T GO ON... I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO KILL A MEMORY I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO STAY ALONE I DON'T EXPECT A LOT OF FOLKS TO LIKE ME DON'T MATTER NOW, THEY DON'T MATTER NOW I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SHARE YOUR SPIRIT I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO TRY AND TRY I KNOW HOW CRUEL IT IS WHEN THINGS GET SHAKY AND YOU CRY, AND YOU CRY... HARD UP, HARD UP FOR AMUSEMENT WHEN YOU TURNED, YOU TURNED TO THE DARKER SIDE, YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT DRIVE YOU AND THOSE QUESTIONS AND THOSE QUESTIONS THEY CAN TEAR YOU DOWN... I KNOW HOW ENVY DOES THE STRANGEST DANCES I KNOW HOW EASY COMES THIS THING CALLED PITY I KNOW HOW YOU CAN RUN CITY TO CITY LOOKIN' FOR PITY............ BRIDESMAIDS... THE ONLY SOLUTION... ISN'T IT… |
