I saw BB King once when I was high

I was dancing like those people do at Grateful Dead concerts

THE COLORS, THE SOUNDS!

IF ONLY I COULD TAKE THAT COLOR AND SOUND WITH ME!

I'D TAKE THAT GROOVE RIGHT OFF THE SIDE

OF A GODDAMN MOUNTAIN!

I'D TAKE THAT GROOVE INTO THE HEART OF A MEAT GRINDER!

O.D. ?

Yeah, sure.

There were two drummers,

ha, ha, ha, I THOUGHT.

"HOT DAMN!" "TWO FUCKING DRUMMERS!"

Later I saw BB KING again,

he was soft, hardly standing,

he tossed guitar picks into the audience between songs,

nobody seemed to care.

Life is a fat mans foot on your throat,

hold your breath, maybe you'll

die sooner.
