I've always started my shows by saying that: All ships lost in the night search for the lighthouse on the rock of the enlightened
But, for truth seekers out there, the battery is fading and the light is dying
I see that freedom has failed us and with no light the night's going to be a long one
Woody Guthrie said: This land is your land, this land is ... my land
Great words, but this land is their land now

This will be the last time your ears and my voice will be getting together
Because, as of midnight tonight, the previously public airwaves will be commandeered for government approved and regulated transmission
The last breath of free speech will blow itself out
What rises in its place is going to be the wind of thought control
Bad guys win folks!

You know I don't always play a lot of music on the show, as most of it these days is processed, bubble gum ******** - churned out by the overlords of doublespeak and made to turn a gray world grayer
But tonight I won't go without leaving a message
Tonight I've chosen to play the one band the American Fascicrats don't want me to play
Tonight I'm going off the air with the music of Hierophant ...(.narrated by stephen king, aka, will o wisp....)

shooter and hierophant, black ribbons....

Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right
So numb I can't feel things anymore
Somehow could feel me letting go

I know there's so many things
That I need to do and I need to say
No matter how hard I try
I can't get the words out right

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in the vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain

I see you standing in the rain

The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner

Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul

I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain

I see you standing in the rain

Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light

Man down and I'm drowning in their pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain

I see you standing in the rain

Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right

(more will o wisp, stephen king, narrating)

There's a book by an author named Carol S. Pearson from the mid-70s called The Hero Within: Six Archetypes We Live By
Even though it's nearly forty years old, the book still speaks of the journey each of us takes through our lives
The Innocent
The Orphan
The Wanderer
The Warrior
The Martyr
The Magician
We float between these identities
They change as the phases of our lives take center stage, one after the other
Today I feel like a martyr, but tomorrow I'll be a warrior

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/last-light-radio-1129-pm-lyrics-shooter-jennings.html ]

For even though my time as the magician is drawing to an end, the innocent in me will continue to believe and hope
In love and that the goodness of humanity will prevail
Here's Hierophant's take on the journey from innocence to experience
Which is another way of saying from innocence to orphanhood
Here's **** You (We're Famous)
Put all ten middle fingers in the air and dance my brothers and sisters
If we can't dance a little on the last night of the last light, all is lost
