As Homer Simpson would say: “Mmmmm…. Devil Dogs. . . . “
@Sweetbac Jr.
Hurl May have his on stash, east coast or not.
Your Mah… Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms out there
I see NO Devil Dogs or bottles of Yoohoo on that there spread…ya gotta throw a bone to the east coasters at the ranch, Skipper!
Tell it, brother!@Chappy
The Arlen Roth Band was awesome…had never seen him live before…great stuff! And, G.E. is always outstanding. Speaking of Spencer, he is a class act and a super human being…he is full of dignity and grace and great music…a true inspiration. And, Hurl is another top notch cat stepping up and in for Spencer. FPR is hallowed ground…partially because it resides in beautiful SE Ohio and even more so because of the wonderful hosts, dedicated staff, musicians, and fans. Keep on truckin’ !!!

God bless your son. I am sure you do good works in his memory. The old saying, “pray as if everything depends on God, and work as if everything depends on you.
God writes straight with crooked lines…. He was met with Divine Mercy and truth.

Damien Dempsey – Ghosts Of Overdoses Lyrics
Hey little baby I want to take you from here
Hey little baby I don’t want to see you on the gear
It’s so hard to find your way back
Hey little baby it’s every parent’s worst fear
For their child to end up on smack
There was pills, there was tabs
There was pain and needle jabs
And the ghosts overdoses
Replace the ghosts of tuberculosis
There was dust and there was liquid
You could buy for just a few quid
And escape out of the jungle
To return and crawl and stumble
Hey little baby I want to take you from here
I want to take you away from here
Hey little baby I don’t want to see you on the gear
It’s so hard to find your way back
Hey little baby it’s every parent’s worst fear
For their child to end up on smack
You lie, high, cry “please don’t go”
Now I walk along these streets
All the ghosts, they walk their beats
Up to flats and into stairwells
Where they lie in heroin hell
Little kids they walk right through them
I just hope they don’t become them.
PeaceLove All Ways
