when I realized they wrote a song about me. The song Rock N' Roll Lifestyle really hits home. I don't have a Moto Guzzi but I do have a kickin' Buell. I also spend way too much money on music. My cd collection is shiny and costly and pretty big. I just spent a small fortune on Bonnaroo tickets.
I definitely living in my Parents income tax bracket and not my own it would seem at the moment.
Anyone else feel like a song was written about them? Which one?

It was late last night the other day I thought I'd go up and see Ray So l went up and I saw Ray There was only one thing Ray could say, was:
Just last week I was on my bike I run into a friend named Mike Run into my friend named Mike Mike no longer has a bike. He cries:
OK, if this thread is about commercial songs, this ditty doesn't quite fit but it's great in its own right, IMHO. It's a poem that was posted on the BadWeB in Jan 2000 by the esteemed Bueller Bob Gussenhoven. It kinda goes to the tune of a certain Chuck Berry song,
quote:
A Poem. A Hooligans Dream
Up in the morning without delay, Unleash the Bike it's time to play.
Started and warmed it's out to the street,where straights and curves are a hooligans treat.
Down the Road like a Bat out of hell, Was that a cop? I couldn't tell.
Into a corner ashort ways away, Grinding the end of my foot pegs away.
Out of the corner and on the fuel, I meet up with a Bike, Its time to duell.
We stop at a light, I look at my Foe,Mentaly ready for the light to say Go.
He's riding a honda, One built for speed, He's faster I know so witts I will need.
We launch from the light, He's pulling away,What will I do? A corner I pray.
My praires are answered on down the line, Now i'm in my element and things are now fine.
He slows for the corner, I'm on the gas. Inside or outside I know I will pass.
Six miles of corners and he's not in sight,I stop and I wonder if he is all right.
I turn around, Ride the way I went, Along side the road he lay buggered and bent.
I stopped and I asked if he was ok, He wiped his eyes and just looked away.
Beaten and hurt, all he could say, What was that Bike that Blew me away?
I stood there proud as if to Gleam, The Bike is a Buell, A Hooligans Dream!!
Can you imagine Erik & The Thunderbolts doing that one? Sparky
(gripping the bars his knuckles went white with desire The wheels of his buell exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45 True death: 400 horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night This is black sunshine.)
Yeah! move me in the silence baltic motorway Hang me on the edge before I fall away Apocalypse is dawnin action on the mile A can-do revolution, earth to the river [nile] Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride, yeah! Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride, yeah! Cry a river cosmic, moon in scorpio Feel her body breathe, acid radio Tell me that you like it, when Im going down! Tell me that you like it, move to the speed of [sound] Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride, yeah! Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride, yeah! Go! slide into, I said 44 cool heart can A hypnotize dream into infinity, I turned the love to lies Crawl across the water, wave and sink into the sea Reflectn onto everything, that you can never be check-out!, yeah! To the devil a daughter comes 200 worlds away, yeah Born to lose the love you choose, destroy another day Check out!! Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride, yeah! Sweetn the ride black sunshine Sweetn the ride Stare into the t.v. kiss off the pain Wonderland is falling, no sing, no rain momentary Damage into the high drift me to the circuit sky
(finally nothing moves. high noon. Black top rolling below the asphalt drive A concrete fascination scraping the edge of nothing This is black sunshine.)
I changed wheel to bars and Mustang to Buell. The song is about a Mustang but I just ignore that.
Hey, I ain't never coming Home Hey, I'll just wander my Own road Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow Say goodbye don't follow Misery so hollow
Hey you, you're livin' Life full throttle Hey you, pass me down that Bottle, yeah Hey you, you can't shake Me round now I get so lost and don't Know how And it hurts to care, I'm Going down
Forgot my woman, lost my Friends Thinks I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors Cold See my face it's growin' Old Scared to death no reason Why Do whatever to get me by Think about the things I Said Read the page it's cold And dead
