He goes for it at the finish....!

You know, that's awesome. I've never much cared for the song, and I can take as much Waylon as I can leave. I dunno if I'll ever listen to it again ... lol.

But I genuinely l o v e when I see / hear something so unexpected, and Waylon taking a shot at that is certainly that. And he pulled it off. How 'bout that !

On a related note, I used this guy as a punchline for years, because I only knew his two crossover hits, and I was more of an idiot than

I know most folks will become instant fans, am I right? :) :) :) Because he goes for it, and nails it.

Freddie did nail it. Sometimes we're so focused on the character and gimmick, that it's easy to look past the true talent.

and then sometimes....it really is about the gimmick ????

So 39 or so hours ago I post here about wanting to see a version of Lee Shore with just Crosby. And today when I go to YouTube, there's a suggestion at the top of the list - a 3 hour interview of Crosby in two parts 40 years later in which he does a couple of verses of Lee Shore - near the end of pt 2. It wasn't in the info, and I skipped ahead, but somehow I just knew they'd discuss that song. Even in his late 60s [then], the cat was still extraordinary.

What a gift to me, and I pass it on. How many joints were burned listening to Deja Vu? I can personally account for hundreds. He plays it @38:00, and it's wonderful. Light one up and enjoy the one and only.

Also, a great weed story comes next.

In Bloom


For the gate is wide,
And the way is broad,
That delivered me
(Insufferable in-between)
From the fleeting dawn
To this endless night,
In the labyrinth
Of the Iron Kings.
Now my footsteps take precedence as the traffic sounds fade,
And this city's lungs have purged their last breath.
I'm held captive at the curb before the World's End Lane,
Where I pledge my self to uncertainty.
From this shattered breaking point each new step must be
Nothing short of the saddest act of sorcery.
In search of that fleeting adversity,
O, merciless emptiness, that used to possess me...
So farewell Persephone, at rest on the altar,
Who dared to merge stone with the skies.
What curses of men guard the bridges you built, dear?
What doorways, what star-gates have you left behind?
So I'm following stardust, what's left of the twilight,
To get to that last jagged line.
To the edge of the earth by the age of rebirth.
I'll dissolve, end this realm, and reclaim what is mine.
Take in the knitting air,
Part with the cleansing breath,
Destiny turns the soils in which we manifest.
Suffer the burning coals,
Yield to the spiral tides,
Peer into the darkness, that all may be defined.
