In the Words of the Strawberry Alarm Clock

“To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it’s the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

“Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose”

– Strawberry Alarm Clock

Ides of March – Vehicle

"Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan Oh won't you hop inside my car I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man I'd like to take you to the nearest star I'm your vehicle baby I'll take you anywhere you wanna go I'm your vehicle woman By now I'm sure you know That I love ya (love you) I need ya (need you) I want to, got to have you child Great God in heaven, you know I love you."

Herb Alpert – Jerusalem.

This Herb Alpert song 45 years ago was number six on the charts. Seems like a good way to round on the mid-week -- somber but relaxed.

Dick Curless – Drag ’em Off the Interstate, Sock it To ’em, J.P Blues

"Well I just popped over the ole state line
My headlights focused on a welcome sign
When hidin' in the bushes there waitin' for me
Was a big policeman with a capital P
Shoutin' look out stranger you're headin' for danger
There's a welcome sign ahead"

"He dragged me up to the old town square
The justice of the peace waitin' for his share

He said looky here boy you'd better slow down
You're in a heap of trouble in this one-horse town
So look out stranger you're headin' for danger
There's a welcome sign ahead"
"I've got those drag 'em off the interstate sock it to 'em JP blues"
"Yeah welcome in the evenin' sock 'em when they're leavin' blues

A kangaroo court is the last resort on a low down shake down cruise
Got them drag 'em off the interstate sock it to 'em JP blues"

"A woman gettin' mugged in the heart of town
Yells for the cops but there's none around
They're down on the interstate settin' a trap
A huntin' for a live one to skin and wrap
So look out stranger you're headin' for danger
There's a welcome sign ahead"

"When a sign says Welcome To God's Country
Lord you got competion from a slick JP
Fuzzy old buzzards that fill in their craws
With highway robbery in the name of the law
So look out stranger you're headin' for danger
There's a welcome sign ahead"

"I've got those drag 'em off the interstate sock it to 'em JP blues...
Got them drag 'em off the interstate sock it to 'em JP blues
Yeah here they come"

The late Mr. Curless sings the truth.Β Drive carefully when you pass those welcome signs.
