More fun borrowed from a bluesky thread. Post a picture of yours that would make a good album cover.
I would title this, “The Broken Road”
Kicked over
Left lying on the side of the road
Amongst the cracks of time on a hardend track
Worn from the heavy loads that pass by
Thats a future Reds, Pinks and Purples LP cover if ever I saw one!
I had no idea what you were talking about, I had to google lol. It’s been a while, how are you going?
My reply to a thread, “Songs that mention something disgusting” on bluesky.soc. I remembered this song about a dead skunk in the middle of the road.
“All over the road, Technicolor!”
Hi Lori your Dead Skunk reminded me of a similar Not The Nine O’Clock News skit (Warning: very non PC these days!)
I don’t know that this is related but I thought of it anyway.
(I often think to myself “were you born an asshole or did you work at it your whole life?”)
For no apparent reason and just because its the middle of a very hot night and I can’t sleep I thought you might enjoy this funny- it was filmed incidentally at the lock down the road from me…you all know the saying “Well it’s better than a slap in the face with a wet fish” and "There’s always a bigger fish! " I presume? Sorry, I can’t seem to do "copy URL in current time " on this one…
I get a lot of laughs from Monty Python! "Supreme executive power, derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! "
So, according to the news today NASA is going to establish a base on the Moon.No need to worry about robots, AI etc- we can all escape to the Moon…
Well not just yet then- the explosion of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Rocket has put a spanner in the works…! Maybe this is more appropriate:
I use to listen to the radio in bed, David Bowie’s A Space Oddity was played a lot at the time, and I would fall asleep during the beginning of the song. I’m not sure if the drone was making me doze off because it was soothing, or boring. I got to hear the whole song finally and it was spectacular.
Just for You, Lori!
Do you think I could restart the lyrics game again? I’m going to try
Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
“And I think my spaceship knows which way to go” Self navigating AI spaceships? Wow. The song was released in1969.
Adventure Rocket Ship
A lover and a slave
The skeletons of spacemen
Unzipper me with love
I’m coming for you someday
As faithful as a mummy
Discovered in a crater
Hermaphrodite in style
You crash upon a star 
Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How’d you get so desperate?
How’d you stay alive?
Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh come on be alive again
Don’t lay down and die
It’s three o clock, we’re driving in your car
You’re screaming out the window at the stars
Please don’t drive me home
Blame us 'cause we are who we are
Hate us 'cause you’ll never get that far
And who’d suppose you would go
I’ve already learned enough to know
Fast asleep in this dangerous world
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
“Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?”
He just grinned and shook my hand, and “No!”, was all he said.
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
-Bowie
