"Don't let the past, remind us of what we are not now"

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Crosby, Stills & Nash
"Living in a half-way-house on a one-way-street" - Ricky Lee Jones
"His mind is not for rent - to any God or Government" - Rush "Tom Sawyer"
"Waiting in our boats to set sail" - Blind Faith "Sea of Joy"
And here's to all the strong ones
Who don't care if they win
The kind I'll never see again

Steve Winwood/Arc of a Diver/Slowdown Sundown
I know you don't know me
But I'd dig your company
Don't want to be alone tonight
You can trust me girl -you'll be alright
Looked at me with big brown eyes
She said "yes" to my surprise

And now I call her in the morning
And I see her every night
I see her in the evening
And when I'm with her I'm all right

Steppenwolf/The Second

Humanity grew weary
Of its doubtful state of mind
So it summond from far
And called from near
Every wise man thought to be sincere

To heal its wounds and make it whole
To lead the way back
To the soul

But the wise men came together
With the hope to free mankind
From rubbish that had gathered
In God's name
To embrace and trust each other
In the search for the supreme
And they found that all their teaching
Was the same

Steppenwolf/The Second
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Theme song from "Baretta" T. V. show
War's good business
Invest your son
But I'd rather have my country die for me

"Genghis Khan and his brother Don / Couldn't keep on keepin' on"
Dylan: You Ain't Goin' nowhere

"Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain / And all the children are insane"
The Doors: The End
"You must be a millionaire's daughter
I can tell by the way you walk..."
Mississippi Fred McDowell
If talking were illegal
You'd be living a life of crime
Your mind is on vacation but
Your mouth is working overtime
