Hey! Where'd ya swipe that avatar!

I thought you, Limbo & Goatscrot would appreciate that!

 

A friend & fellow Johnny Cash fan sent me that pix full size. I just knew it had to be my new avatar, especially since I am pissing a lot of people off lately (sorry 'bout that KS, but they deserve it LOL ).

 

 

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,

Why you never see bright colors on my back,

And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.

Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

 

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,

Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,

I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,

But is there because he's a victim of the times.

 

I wear the black for those who never read,

Or listened to the words that Jesus said,

About the road to happiness through love and charity,

Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

 

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,

In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,

But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,

Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

 

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,

For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,

I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

 

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,

Believen' that the Lord was on their side,

I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,

Believen' that we all were on their side.

 

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,

And things need changin' everywhere you go,

But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,

You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

 

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,

And tell the world that everything's OK,

But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,

'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

 

Cheers,

SD

Love it SD,

 

Great pic. I consider myself very lucky to have seen him live in Austin, TX in a 450 capacity venue, just about the time when the first American Records album was released. Fantastic show.

Suadum,

 

Oh, okay. I thought you swiped it off my own avatar (same pic) I was using a couple months ago. I have the same pic I used for an avatar for a week or so a while back. I thought you liked it so much you grabbed it for yourself to use later at times. I change my avatar every couple of weeks now. Great pic I thought. Kinda says something and shows a mood! ::

 

I have just scanned some pics I took at a Zappa concert many years ago. One or two show Frank flipping off the audience. Might be using that soon myself. ::

p.s. Did you leave a message on my phone last week? Wife showed me something and I thought it might be from you. (She doesn't check her messages a lot of the time.)
