Sad Peter Pan It's the plan of most To discover that magnificent ghost When did I get perverted And my innocent eyes diverted from the view so grand Imbued with distractions I'm greedy like Senior Babbitt I'm just chasing that electric rabbit I'm a reluctant rebel I just want to be Aaron Neville With a crown on my head And my denim shirt all dark with sweat I'm just pushing the paint around On advice from your lying mouth You touched me and then you ran And left a sad Peter Pan All alone and awkward But a transformation, I swear it will occur - The Smashing Pumpkins 10:39:46 AM     |

Back On The Chain Gang They didn't chain everybody on the chain gang but they chained Clinton Wendell Paul. "Fourteen links. It felt funny, at first. They don't take 'em off. You go to sleep at night, you wrap a towel around because the metal's so cold. You go to the bathroom you got to tell the guard first — `Gettin' up, boss!' — and then you tie a string around the chain to hold it up, so it don't make noise." That was in the prison road camp in DeLand, 1952. He wore the chain for three months, punishment for something or other — he can't remember what. He was sent up because he robbed a man. "I'm tired of seeing your face," the judge had said. The honorable Ben C. Willard. Funny, what you cannot forget. "Now I'm gonna stick you somewhere for good." Read the rest. 10:29:30 AM     |
