goin' to the Country Comfort! BOS3 EJ.
Maybe Elton was providing some comfort for Steve out in the country...


I wonder if Elton ever cringes when he sings what Bernie wrote (or wrought):

Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks
The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch
Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch

Eek.

Shocking!
Nice segue.  Sounded kinda like Al Gore watching a total eclipse.

I'm your penis.  I'm your spire...

least-necessary of set: the godness on the mountain top.  I'll never forget the little old lady who thought they were singing "I'm your penis".

"New Speedway Boogie" is one of the few songs by the Dead literally written about something in particular, Altamont.

In the Maysles Bros' Gimme Shelter movie, you see the Dead arrive at the Speedway, then they get work of the security shenanigans and hear about Marty Balin getting clocked in the face, and they do an about face.   Smart career move.


TANC: A couple of days ago a FB friend posted this clip, likely an outtake from Gimme Shelter, of the Dead and the Stones standing around on a pier somewhere on the Embarcadero waiting for a helicopter to take them to Altamont. Pretty interesting.
Let's get right to it.

My sisters would quote the Bananarama version as "I'm your penis, I'm your fire". More or less to piss of my parents. Of course they would also sing "Gatorade is piss aid, for that deep down body piss".
