March 31, 1985, Jeanine Deckers, better known as The Singing Nun, died after taking a overdose of sleeping pills in a suicide pact with Annie Pescher. Her biggest hit was "Dominique" in 1963. Deckers had given all proceeds from her music to her convent. Together Jeanine and Annie founded a school for children who suffered from the disability of autism. They killed themselves after the Belgian government said that the Singing Nun owed over $60,000 in back taxes, the demand put their school in jeopardy.
Dominique by The Singing Nun
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods And sings a little song Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer Made him hear the good Lord's call
Without horse or fancy wagon He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken Godly life and truth on earth

Within You, Without You by The Beatles
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you
change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold
and the people,Who gain the world and lose their soul
-They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find,
peace of mind,Is waiting
there-
And the time will come when you see
We're all one, and life flows on
within you and without you.

Lady Marmalade by Patti Labelle
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said "Hello, Hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?"
Mmm, Mmm.
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
The boy drank all her magnolia-wine
On the black satin sheets where he started to freak
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
Hey, Hey, Hey
Touching her skin feelin' silky smooth
The colour of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried,
More, More, More
Now he's back home doing 9 to 5
Living his grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep
Old memories creep,
More, More, More
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da ...

Teach Your Children by C.S.N.&Y.
You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye.
Teach your children well,Their father's hell
did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you,
you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,Their children's hell
will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you,
you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

March 27, 1971, New York radio station WNBC banned the song "One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer & Shipley because of its alleged drug references. Other stations around the country follow suit. Tom Shipley, responds, "In this electronic age, pulling a record because of its lyrics is like the burning of books in the Thirties".
DLAK note: I've always thought this song was an anti drug song.
One Toke Over The Line by Brewer & Shipley
One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line
Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line
Who do you love, I hope it's me
I've been changing, as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my mama said
If I should choose to make it part of me
Would surely strike me dead, and now I'm
Now I'm one toke over the line sweet Jesus...
I sail away, a country mile
And now I'm returning, and showing off my smile
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise
Like everything else that I've been through
They opened up my eyes, and now I'm
One toke over the line...

March 25, 2001, Bob Dylan receives an Academy award for "best original song from a movie." The song, "Things Have Changed" is from the movie "Wonder Boys" Bob and his band play the song live via satellite during the Oscar presentations. During his acceptance speech he says something no one understood.
Things Have Changed by Bob Dylan
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tempered skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
Standin' on the gallows with my head in the noose
Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
This place ain't doin' me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should've been in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancin' lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he got anythin' to prove
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
I've been walkin' forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right the world will explode
I'm tryin' to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Puttin' her in a wheelbarrow and wheelin' her down the street
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman that don't even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and miss Lucy they jumped in a lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.

March 22, 1955, Bill Hayes version of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" hits number one. The song was written by Tom Blackburn and George Bruns.
The Ballad Of Davy Crockett
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
greenest state in the land of the free
raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose
addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes
Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows,
so he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!
Off through the woods he's a marchin' along
makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song
itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong
he's ringy as a b'ar an' twice as strong
Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer!
Davy, Davy Crockett, trackin' the redskins down!
Fought single-handed through the Injun War
till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was handlin' this risky chore
made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
He give his word an' he give his hand
that his Injun friends could keep their land
An' the rest of his life he took the stand
that justice was due every redskin band
Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear!
DLAK note: Not very PC is it? LOL

That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong

March 20, 1991, At 11:00AM, Conor Clapton who was four years old, died when he fell from a 53rd-story window in his mothers New York apartment. Eric Clapton was walking back to the apartment at the time and passed the commotion in the street. Later, Clapton wrote the song "Tears In Heaven" about his son. The song would be a smash hit and is to this day one of Claptons biggest sellers. Eric no longer plays the song at his live performances.
Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day Cause I know
I just can't stay Here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know
I don't belong

Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven

I just can't stay Here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know
I don't belong
Here in heaven

March 19, 1972, Uriah Heep were in the studio recording the classic "Demons And Wizards" LP. This would be the first record to include Gary Thain on bass. Thain had replaced Mark Clarke. Demon's and Wizards was released in may of 72, it is considered to be one of the all time great heavy metal albums and has sold 6 million copies. The album contained two radio hits "The Wizard" and "Easy Living". It also had one of my all time favorite songs "Rainbow Demon."
Rainbow Demon by Uriah Heep
There rides the rainbow demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire
Ridin on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day
Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Lives for his sword and his gun ...
DLAK note: Uh oh, flashback...

Get Off My Cloud by The Rolling Stones
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack And says,
I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed? Just 'cause you feel so good,
do you have To drive me out of my head?"
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey!
You! Get off of my cloud Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream In the morning
the parking tickets were just like A flag stuck on my window screen
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey!
You! Get off of my cloud Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

March 16, 1977, Paper Lace, one of the worst bands ever, had a #1 hit, "Billy Don't Be A Hero". They had one other hit with an even worse song "The Night Chicago Died".
Billy Dont Be A Hero by Paper Lace
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said
"Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away

Heartbreak Hotel
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It’s down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,I get so lonely I could die.
And although it’s always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,

Well, the bell hop’s tears keep flowin’,
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain’t ever comin back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street

Exodus music by Ernest Gold, words by Pat Boone
This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
To make this land our home
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

Mairzy Doats by the Merry Macs
I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing,
"Mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy"
oh
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you

Nobody Loves You When Your Down And Out by John Lennon
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see,
ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep,
ooo wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
Nobody Loves You When Your Down And Out by John Lennon
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide

Hell by The Squirrel Nut Zippers
In the after life
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around.
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.
Now the D and the A and the M
and the N and the A
And the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

March 10, 1988, Five days after his 30th birthday, Andy Gibb dies of an inflammatory heart virus in Oxford, England. His death from myocarditis followed a long addiction to cocaine which had weakened his heart. His first three singles were all million-sellers, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", "Love Is Thicker Than Water" and "Shadow Dancing". Although his records had made millions, in 1987, he filed for bankruptcy, declaring less than $50,000 in assets and more then $1 million in debt.
Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb
You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said ,
baby , I lose my head
And in a world of people ,
there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain't even mine
Only you can see me through I leave it up to you
Do it light , taking me through the night Shadow dancing ,
baby you do it right
Give me more , drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing , all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain , baby
I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can't breath when you're away ,
it pulls me down You are the question and the answer
am I
Only you can see me through I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing , baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing , all this and nothing more
And in this world of people there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end ...

March 7, 1964, Cassius Clay's Record becomes one of the most sought after albums of the year. High sales are attributed to Clay's defeat of Sonny Liston. The album is called "I Am the Greatest". Columbia expects to sell 500,000 copies and Clay says, "I'm better and prettier than Chubby Checker." The record had been released in 1963 before he became the champ, alot of the lyrics are insults to Sonny Liston. The record is mostly spoken word and was recorded in front of a live audience.
Excerpt from I Am The Greatest
"Here I predict Mr. Liston's dismemberment.
I'll hit him so hard he'll wonder where October
and November went,"
"I have rassled with an alligator/I done tossled with a whale

March 6, 1970, Awareness records released the Charles Manson album 'Lie' in the US. Manson was unable to promote the LP due to the fact he was serving a life sentence for the Sharon Tate murders. The album had been recorded in 1968 and contained 14 songs penned and performed by Manson and his cult buddies. California law prohibits Manson from collecting any money or royalties for his work so all the proceeds from any sales go to a charity that helps victims of violent crime. Portions of the album have been sampled by many other artists, some of the songs from this album have been covered by such bands as Marilyn Manson, GG Allen, The Beach Boys, Devo and Guns and Roses. Charlie once said "The only mistake I made was not killing two or three thousand of you fuckers."
Eyes Of A Dreamer by Charlie Manson
It's all in the eyes of a dreamer
It's all in the eyes of a man
All the things we've done in life
And all the things we've planned
Is the world as sad as it seems?
Where are men's hopes?
Where are men's dreams?
In the eyes of a dreamer
In the eyes of a man
All the songs have been sung
All the saints have been hung
The wars and cries have been wailed
All the people have been jailed
In the eyes of a dreamer
In the eyes of a man
And you are the man
Eyes Of A Dreamer by Charlie Manson
It's all in the eyes of a dreamer
It's all in the eyes of a man
All the things we've done in life
And all the things we've planned
Is the world as sad as it seems?
Where are men's hopes?
Where are men's dreams?
In the eyes of a dreamer
In the eyes of a man
All the songs have been sung
All the saints have been hung
The wars and cries have been wailed
All the people have been jailed
In the eyes of a dreamer
In the eyes of a man
And you are the man

Crazy
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

March 4, 1966, Maureen Cleave of The London Evening Standard publishes an article on John Lennon. The interview creates international controversy with Johns remark that the Beatles are probably bigger than Jesus. Christian groups across the world were outraged resulting in some burning Beatles records. Lennon later apologized. The exact quote from the article was "Experience has sown few seeds of doubt in him (John) : not that his mind is closed, but it's closed round whatever he believes at the time. 'Christianity will go,' he said. 'It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.' He is reading extensively about religion."
Ballad Of John And Yoko by John Lennon
Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said,
"you've got to turn back".
You know they didn't even give us a chance.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
Peter brown called to say,
"you can make it o.k.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspapers said, "say what you doing in bed?
I said, "were only trying to get us some peace".
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
oh boy, when your dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul -
think!
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
Eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspapers said, "shes gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.
Caught an early plane back to London.
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said,
"we wish you success,Its good to have the both of you back".
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.
The way things are going
they're going to crucify me.

March 3, 1957, Samuel Cardinal Strich (The head of the Catholic archdiocese of Chicago) banned rock & roll from Catholic schools and related activities in his district. He says the "tribal rhythm and suggestive lyrics encourages kids to behave in a hedonistic manner."
Party Doll by Buddy Knox and the Rhythm Orchids (Released in 1957).
Well all I want is a party doll,
To come along with me
when I'm feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair,
To run her fingers through my hair.
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I wanna make love to you,
to you,
I wanna make love to you.
Well I saw a gal walkin' down the street,
The kind of a gal I'd love to meet,
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue,
Baby I wanna have a party with you.
Every man has got to have a party doll,
To be with him when he's feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair
To run her fingers through his hair
To run her fingers through his hair...

March 2, 1968, The members of Pink Floyd are in the recording studio. Syd Barrett told the others that he had a new song to teach them, he said it was called "Do you get it yet" after Syd taught them the song they all tried to play it together and Syd stopped them saying they were playing it all wrong, so he showed them again and once again when they played it back Syd stopped them saying it was all wrong. This continued for a while and every time he played it Syd changed the melody and chord progression. Finally Roger Waters got the joke.
The Effervescing Elephant by Syd Barrett
An Effervescing Elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk
once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die,
oh yeah!
because the tiger would roam.
The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
and every time I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe, you know the elephant he told me so."
Everyone was nervy,
oh yeah!
and the message was spread to
zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food
and tended to ignore the word preferring to survey a herd
of stupid water bison,
oh yeah!
And all the jungle took fright, and ran around for all the day and the night
but all in vain, because, you see, the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you.
I'd much prefer something to chew and you're all to scant."
oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant

March 1, 1991 - "The Doors" movie, with Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison premiered. The movie was written and directed by Oliver Stone and is a piece of shit just like all his movies. Stone is a fucking hack and should kiss Jims dead ass.
The Movie a poem by Jim Morrison
The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show.
We filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened,
the voice continued.
The program for this evening is not new
You've seen this entertainment through and through
You've seen your birth your life and death
you might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?
I'm getting out of here
Where are you going?
To the other side of morning
Please don't chase the clouds, pagodas
Her cunt gripped him like a warm, friendly hand.
It's alright, all your friends are here
When can I meet them?
After you've eaten
I'm not hungry
Uh, we meant beaten
Silver stream, silvery scream
Oooooh,
impossible concentration
