Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
I’ve been from Tuscon to Tucumcari / Tehachapi to Tonapah / Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made / Now driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed / And if you give me weed, whites and wine / And you show me a sign and I’ll be willin’, to be movin’
Now smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico / Baked by the sun, almost every time I go to Mexico, and I’m willin’ / And I’ve been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet / Had my head stoved in, but I’m still on my feet / And I’m willin’, oh I’m willin’
Today, I’m optimistic. Why the fuck not? Our cool crib and neighborhood didn’t slide down the canyon Tuesday. Could happen tomorrow. In 2023 anything, really anything, could happen. So why not enjoy dreaming big. Well, at least that’s what the guy at the liquor store and I were chatting about when I bought my lottery ticket this morning.
I’m just gonna hold onto that “ticket” like it’s a winner. No matter what the outcome. This life, this rock ‘n’ roll journey, my kids, wife, kitty, house, family, and all those groovy tunes buzzing thru my silly brain…
It’s a great life, and it’s all moving and changing. Here are a few traveling songs mashed into this week’s Idelic Hour set. After all, I’m still on my feet and I’m willin’.
Idelic Single of the Week: The Steens – OH LORD!
