4. Peter Tosh's Stepping Razor is a good prelude to it - A warning writ large

If you wanna live
Treat me good
If you wanna live, live
I beg you treat me good

I'm like a walking razor
Don't you watch my size
I'm dangerous
Said I'm dangerous

[malaise]

5. I wish he'd lived for the Legalize It victory

Peter wrote an entire song with two Jamaican bad words - hehehehehehe

[Brother Buzz]

6. OK, I'm game

What's the name of the song, or at least, what are the two words?

[malaise]

7. It really was a song of complete exasperation

He was as fed up as we are with the hatred and treatment of the ordinary people.
OK the chorus was the two words - still one of my favorites - as irreverent as they come - very serious lyrics about so much lies that's the reason why the children cry. We should play it more often. Here it is with lyrics.

[Brother Buzz]

8. I guess I'm way behind in my Jamaican patois

It's been a million years since I visited Jamaica, and I never heard that one.

[malaise]

9. Well for sure it never made the airways

but lots of us played it at home and Peter sang it a few times.

[Brother Buzz]

10. LOL, Harry Nilsson's You're Breaking My Heart didn't get much airtime either

You're Breaking My Heart

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you
All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but fuck you

[malaise]

11. Hahahahahaha

Too good

[Brother Buzz]

12. Harry Nilsson was Paul McCartney's favorite songwriter and lyricist

But Harry, being Harry, he never shied away from the truth in his songs.....and sometimes with uncomfortable results like "I'd Rather be Dead".

I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed
Oh, I'd rather be gone,

[malaise]

13. Don't know much about him

Will look him up

[pecosbob]

14. But we must remember who we are...

...give us the wind and rain
keep us from sin and shame,
give us the sea and sun,
but Jah, never give me no gun.

[malaise]

15. never give me no gun

Well there's that double negative thingy but I get their point
