This song might be better suited for a girl but I don't have a girl anymore.

Every time I go out looking for someone who's not like me
Someone who's learned to take their time and live their poetry
I dream that Care's a monkey…

Off the coast of California
Where the dolphins ride the waves
We stood and watched them from the cliffs above
Until the sunlight went away

Anyone see the pelicans and the dead fish floating in the oil? (In the midst of the Great Gulf Leak.)

My mom is 91 and still holding on.
The people that help her make it thru

Well, it's like I went down town last night to see Guthrie playing with Ray and I came home with a song.

The lyrics of this song,

I had spoken to the kid maybe a minute before the "action" started about how the pressure of the water was very strong. He was nestled down with his back…
Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song....
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.

Peggy taught me an Eagles song toward the end off our life together. I think it was NEW BOY IN TOWN. (I had no idea what she was telling me.) I took the chord progression from that song and wrote this. Peggy said that was cheating.
