Best Western Religion

There’s a bible in every room but no direction home.  Parents, educators, and friends all have plans
for your future.  They might want what’s best for you, but only you know what that is.


Northwestern Squall Line

Love can be the warmest of all nouns, but one should always carry a straightjacket in case of cold
weather.  Love can be maddening.  You don’t have to be crazy, but it helps.


Time

Scholars say that modern man has more free time now than ever before.  Paradoxically, it seems to be
the opposite.  Sometimes you have to cut the power, relax, and take the time to indulge in the finer
things.


In This Room

Frustration comes in many guises.  Perhaps an inept, knuckle dragging, moron wins an
election and plunges your country into years of economic and social decline.  Perhaps
you just can’t get laid. 


Reclaim Your Vices

I suppose it’s a small part of every elected official’s duty to smile while stabbing you in
the back, but when all that person knows how to do is stab, it’s time for some political cleansing.


What’s Inside

I shy away from confrontation.  I imagine that the utterance of whatever I want to say will
make the ground catch fire and tear the Earth in two.  This almost never happens.  But
it can prevent me from saying what I really want to say.  Why is the anticipation of
something always worse than the reality?


Bathers Swim  

This song really deals with global warming, but you really have to dig deep to see that. 
I've just never been a fan of songs that are too obvious. 
Al Gore has yet to return my calls. 


I Think It’s Gonna Rain

This is a song for anyone who’s ever needed a change of latitude.  Really it’s a
testament to the importance of good friends.  No matter how much you dislike
your surroundings, at least misery loves company.


The Jar Fell

Big girls DO cry; and when they cry over spilt milk, it’s your fault.  I don't
know why I've been so attracted to bad relationships.  But sometimes
you can just FEED on the drama.


Rainwater

Ancient rivalries and modern quarrels intersect at the corner of sophistication
and moonshine.  From the bucolic wanderers of ancient Judea to the stagnant
suburbanites of middle America, the farmers and the ranchers have never been
friends.

A Child Sits in a Room

They say that “idle hands are the devils playground.”  I think idle hands are the
military’s playground.  They take the “game” out of “war game.”
