I Wont Forget You by Jim Reeves
I know that I won't forget you
For I've loved you too much for too long
Though you don't want me now I'll still love you
Till the breath in my body is gone.
That's how it is with me and you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my lifetime
But my darling, I won't forget you.
That's how it is with me and you'll always be

Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) by The Hollies
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her, "Don't get scared
"Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all...

July 28, 1750, At the age of 65 a poor and blind Johann Sebastian Bach died from a stroke. He was buried in an unmarked grave at St. Thomas' Church. He composed over 1,100 works in almost every musical genre of the time. Bach and his wive's Maria Barbara and later after Maria's death Anna Magdalena had 20 children 10 of which died in infancy. During his life his music was dismissed as "too involved and lacking in immediate melodic appeal" most of his works were not published until a century after his death. Bach's widow Anna died in poverty in 1760. Bach is now considered to be the last of the great Baroque composers and one of the greatest composers that ever lived. Bach once said "The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul".

July 26, 2000, During an Oasis concert at a show at the Paleo Festival in Switzerland an audience member throws a bottle that hits the bass players guitar. Liam Gallagher tells the crowd "A bottle has been thrown. We're not standing for it. Good night." Oasis then stormed off the stage and went back to their hotel. The audience stood and jeered the empty stage for twenty minutes before police were able to clear the place. The concert had lasted less then an hour and some would say its just a shame that the guy who threw the bottle had such bad aim.
Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late
as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I hear you say Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late
as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I hear you say
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger

July 21, 1975, On his 28th birthday while swimming in Malibu, Cat Stevens is swept out to sea by a rip tide. He feels himself beginning to drown and prays to God, "Oh God! If you save me, I'll work for you". A large wave then sweeps him back to shore. The very next day his brother David gives him a copy of the Qur'an for a birthday gift which Cat takes as a sign from God. He will later change his name to Yusef Islam after converting to the Muslim faith.
Jesus by Cat Stevens
They used to call him Jesus
Long time ago
Theyre still calling him Jesus
Dont you know
They crossed the wood and hanged him
A long time ago
They still misunderstand him
Those who dont know
And in the evening his love will lead the blind
In every secret corner there in your mind
They called him Gautama Buddha
Oh long time ago
He turned the world to order
Dont you know
He used to sit knowing
Oh long time ago
Where you and me were going
And in the evening his love will lead the blind

July 20, 2007, As I write this I am watching the Jewel concert they showed on PBS last night. I taped it while I was at work and I thought about it all night. I don't like idol worship and I don't believe in love but this woman moves me. She is one of the best folk singers I have ever heard and I have heard many. She is true and pure and beautiful. An angel among fools...
Amen by Jewel
You're mothers' child
but night lays you down
hair aflame, wile look in your eye
Naked belly to the ground
A forest fire
Nibbles at your veins
Crawls up your arm
runs away with your mind
And burns dry thoughts like leaves
Amen
Eyes stare up
but somethings in the way
In the Bible only angels have wings
And the rest must wait to be saved
A dry tongue
Screams at the sky
But the wind just breathes words in
As a strange bird tries to fly
Amen
Pieces of us die everyday
As though our flesh were hell
Such injustice,
as children we are told
That from God we fell.
Where are my angels?
Where's my golden one?
Where's my hope
now that my heroes have gone?
Some are being beaten
Some are being born.
And some can't tell the difference
anymore
Amen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

July 12, 1996, Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain was charged with possession of heroin. The night before Jimmy and Jonathan Melvoin (keyboard player) had gotten drunk and shot up in a New York hotel room. When Chamberlain woke up Melvoin was dead from a overdose of heroin and alcohol. About a week later Jimmy was kicked out of the band and Billy Corgan said in a press release "Today, we are sorry to tell our friends and fans that we have decided to sever our relationship with our friend and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. This may come as a shock to some, to others not, but to us it's devastating. For nine years we have battled with Jimmy's struggles with the insidious disease of drug and alcohol addiction. We have decided to carry on without him and we wish him the best". One year later Chamberlin had pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, avoiding over a year in jail. The Smashing Pumpkins had paid Melvoin's widow $10.000 because of a law suit she had filed claiming the Pumpkins had contributed to Jonathan's death by failing to make sure he stayed off drugs.

3.To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
4.To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5.To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;

Rebel Girl you are the queen of my world
Rebel Girl, Rebel Girl
I know I wanna take you home
I wanna try on your clothes
That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
I got news for you, she IS!
They say she's a slut, but I know
She is my best friend
Rebel Girl, Rebel Girl
Rebel Girl you are the queen of my world
Rebel Girl, Rebel Girl
I think I wanna take you home
I wanna try on your clothes
Love you like a sister always
Soul sister, Rebel Girl
Come and be my best friend,
Really Rebel Girl
I really like you,
I really wanna be your best friend.
Be my Rebel Girl

July 3, 1971, In a small apartment in Paris Pamela and Jim Morrison shot up some heroin. Jim decided to take a bath and Pamela decided to go shopping. Just before she left Jim asked Pamela to give him another injection, she did. When she returned from shopping she found Jim still in the tub and dead. There have been many stories told about how he actually died, even Pamela changed her account several times before her own overdose but this is the one I believe. He was buried in France without a ceremony and every year on the anniversary of his death thousands of people gather at his grave site, the inscription on his stone reads (in Greek) "He was faithful to his demons". Jim once said "I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD... I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it."
When The Music's Over by The Doors
Yeah, c'mon
When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah,
When the music's over
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends,
"Alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me, Outside!
Before I sink, Into the big sleep
I want to hear, I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby, Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound,
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear,
Come today, come today
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...Now,
Now?, Now!
Persian night, babe, See the light, babe
Save us!, Jesus!, Save us!
So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end

July 2, 1962, Jimi Hendrix was discharged from the 101st Airborne Paratroopers. Jimi had joined the military at the age of 18 after having been busted for steeling a car. He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the army. Jimi always said he was discharged because he broke his ankle during a parachute jump. Recently released Army documents state that he was discharged because he "slept on the job", had "little regard for regulations", and was once "apprehended masturbating" in the latrine. It goes on to say that Hendrix was a "habitual offender" and had "homosexual tendencies". Jimi was discharged without honors but avoided going to Vietnam.
Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix
Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart
Machine gun, yeah
Tearing my body all apart
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though were only families apart
Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(you know what I mean)
Hey! and your bullets keep knocking me down
Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground
The same way you shoot me down, baby
Youll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
And your own self to blame
Hey, machine gun
I aint afraid of your mess no more, babe
I aint afraid no more
After a while, your,
your cheap talk dont even cause me pain,
So let your bullets fly like rain
cause I know all the time youre wrong baby
And youll be going just the same
Yeah, machine gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart
dont you shoot him down
hes bout to leave here
dont you shoot him down
hes got to stay here
he aint going nowhere
hes been shot down to the ground
oh where he cant survive, no, no
Yeah, thats what we dont wanna hear anymore,
alright?
no bullets
At least here, huh huh
no guns, no bombs
Huh huh
no nothin, just lets all live and live
you know, instead of killin
May this be Love or just
Confusion born out of
Frustration wracked feelings of not
Being able to make true physical love
to the universal gypsy queen
True, free expressed music
Darling guitar please
Rest.
amen

Magic Carpet Ride
I like to dream yes, yes,
right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
