"A metamorphosis samurai
Y’got a little lord fish and you don’t know why I got a
Metamorphosis samurai

Paint your face cause I’m a black foot
I thought I counted up the fireflies
Close enough to get a good look
Time to mobilize

A Metamorphosis samurai
Y’got a little lord fish and I don’t know why I got a
Metamorphosis samurai..."

Don't you think it's a quite a coincidence that I did happen to bring the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Muse" sticker with me to a festival in Omaha/Council Bluffs where I knew I would get an "All-Access/Media" backstage pass and I did happen to show it to the guys on tour bus, asking if anyone could assist me in finding the person who gave me the RHCP "Muse" sticker ???

And then the Dreams of Samurai song goes on to say...

quote:

---

The day they found you on a tour bus
The news was barren as a desert bone
The tabloids made a kind of small fuss
A couple pictures shown

I’m a lonely lad
I’ve lost myself out on the range
I don’t remember much
So don’t ask me I’ve gone insane

Slowly turning into driftwood
No one ever wants to die alone
Thinking that a pretty gift could
Make you less unknown

Dirty sneakers on the pavement
The brilliant features of a common man
See the miracle of your life
No one ever can."

~Dreams of a Samurai-RHCP

*** The tour bus where I asked for help finding the Scorpio who gave me the RHCP "Muse" sticker was located on the other side of the parking lot of this Lynyrd Skynyrd trailer... ***

"Spinning Knot that is on my heart is like a
Bit of light in a touch of dark you got
Sneak attack from the Zodiac
But I see your fire spark
Eat the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
What do you say?"

~Dark Necessities - RHCP

^^ You might call Lynyrd Skynyrd "The Breeze"...but they call me Zodiac, or The Priestess. That is my bar business card above ^...and I am looking for the Scorpio who gave me the RHCP "Muse" sticker in the photo below...

Kind of a funny story how I came up with the business cards. I was here...

...spending too much time at The Joint in Minneapolis being the resident astrologer. One night I was working on getting belligerently drunk when a Page & Plant song, from their Walking Into Clarksdale album, called Most High, started playing at the bar...

"Who guards the truth
Oh lord most high
A frightened dove in a starless sky, oh-oh, oh oh oh
So high, most high, so high

Who hides the east from the blind man's eye
In the land of peace
Where the righteous cry, oh-oh, oh oh oh
So high, most high, so high

Where are the words? I'm the King
Who moves the stars and then the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home... "

Being belligerently drunk, naturally, I started publicly ranting and raving about Robert Plant ripping off my "celestial glory" because I, of course, was the Queen who moves the stars and then the sun...

Later--likely after nursing a hangover--I made up the business cards.

So, to be fair, Randall, I must share this "celestial glory" you bestow with Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, who are deserving of creative credit, as I borrowed the idea from them.

They have live music at The Cabooze. It's hard to see, but I think The Cabooze sign said "Prince Family Reunion" the night that photo above was taken. ^

Anyways, we really didn't go there for live music at night, although we did go to open mic/auditions very early one day and I remember being a bit surprised The Cabooze was open at such an early hour. Instead, we went early in the day, usually for breakfast at The Joint.

Hands down my all-time favorite breakfast joint was Sunny Side-Up though. Sunny Side-Up was also near a beach we'd frequent.

"Someone start the car
Time to go...you’re the best I know

My Sunny Side has Up and died
I’m betting that when we collide
The Universe will shift into a low

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I’d like to get to know
You a little better baby
God knows that I really tried"
