I have an example that is sitting around already--"Mexicali Blues" by the Grateful Dead. It mentions the devil: "Is there anything a man don't stand to lose/ If the Devil wants to take it all away." Sex and drugs, too: "Instead I've got a bottle, and a girl who's just 14." And, of course, our hero is exiled for a murder."I drew first and shot him/Lord, he didn't even draw." Shows how easily you can put those pretty little tags on things. Bet all the best bands would be trying to see how many they could collect... -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your god may be dead, but mine aren't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
