I've officially been Pfizerized for your protection.
Life is short
Filled with stuff
Don't know what for
I ain't had enough
I learned all I know
By the age of 9
But I could better myself
If I could only find
Some new kind of kick
Something I ain't had
Some new kind of buzz
I wanna go hog mad

I wanted to do that with rock." - Tony Iommi, born this day in 1948.
"My music is homegrown from the garden of New Orleans. Music is everything to me short of breathing." - Allen Toussaint

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn
And I go for a ride
Til I get to the bottom
And I see you again
Yeah yeah yeeaah
