[net.music.gdead] Playing in the Band

mayfield@ucbvax.ARPA (Jim Mayfield) (06/22/85)

I just got "Playing in the Band" by David Gans & Peter Simon.  I haven't
read it through yet, but it seems pretty interesting (it's well above the
level of Gans' anemic radio personality).  It's a large format paperback,
with boatloads of wild photos (Simon compiled the photos, Gans wrote it).
One of the things he's done is to sprinkle lyrics throughout the text,
without stating which song they come from.  Here are two I'm stuck on
(I know I'm gonna feel silly, but I jez gotta know):

	1. The shape it takes could be yours to choose.

	2. Might as well travel the elegant way.

Now golly gee, this last one is a prime candidate for might-as-well-ness,
but I can't for the life of me think of the verse.  Anyone got ideas?

This comes from "Till the morning comes," which I believe is on
Aoxomoxoa.  (Though it could be on American Beauty/Reality since my memory's
fading...)

It's not from "Might as Well," that much I know.  But it doesn't ring a bell.
