And I'll be 103. Gonna have a bass. With just one string. And play the end of the bridge of the Stones version of the glorious Poison Ivy, over and over again. The sliding part. Here it is, at exactly 1:15.

A jazz gig. The guy shows up with an electric bass and no one cares that it's not a URB.
Dyslexics untie!

His then wife will be somewhat more mature. Say 28?
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

... But we'd only be doing the harmony, as the toe-nail-clipping cloned "Nu-Jim" will be singing the baritone lead...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
