Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Bury me at sea / Where no murdered ghost can haunt me / If I rock upon the waves / And no corpse can lie upon me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys / Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry
If I should fall from grace with God / Where no doctor can relieve me / If I’m buried in the sand / But the angels won’t receive me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys / Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry
Did you happen to catch the blood eclipse last night? I was excited to watch it unfold as I cut this week’s Idelic Hour. In the end, the event was more “brown” than “blood” red. To be honest I woke up thinking that today was St. Patrick’s Day. Well such is 2025.
In truth, my listening has been more “cold and rainy” post Britpop and cowboy than Irish. This said, any chance to listen to Shane MacGowan—“Poguetry” takes me back. The two of us had similar taste in fashion. Leather wristbands, big rings, and leather vests. I remember him taking off his shirt at my restaurant The Olive. He wanted to trade it for my vest. It took many drinks to make him understand that I was hanging onto my leather.
I wish he was by the house today. My vest is calling his soul. Let it go down where the rivers all run dry.
Green beer lads.
