For a little comedy relief...

Another day, another death...

 

Quote

Procol Harum frontman Gary Brooker, who led the band throughout their 55-year history and co-wrote and sang their 1967 classic “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” died at his home from cancer on Saturday, Feb. 19. He was 76.

 

 

 

We skipped the light fandango

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

But the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder

As the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink

The waiter brought a tray

 

And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face, at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

 

She said, there is no reason

And the truth is plain to see

But I wandered through my playing cards

And would not let her be

One of sixteen vestal virgins

Who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open

They might have just as well've been closed

 

And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

 

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'

Though in truth we were at sea

So I took her by the looking glass

And forced her to agree

Saying, 'You must be the mermaid

Who took Neptune for a ride.'

But she smiled at me so sadly

That my anger straightway died

 

And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

 

If music be the food of love

Then laughter is its queen

And likewise if behind is in front

Then dirt in truth is clean

My mouth by then like cardboard

Seemed to slip straight through my head

So we crash-dived straightway quickly

And attacked the ocean bed

 

And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

 

Gary Booker, 29 May 1945 – 19 February 2022

 

 

 

R.I.P., Gary.

I've been on a 90's kick again lately so this is what I'm listening to right now.....

 

Was the first song I ever chose myself as a kid to like, after branching out from my parent's listening choices.  Ironically I still like the stuff they liked too though, weird.

Don't know if I've posted this stuff before or not, but his writing is really under rated.

. . . and now for something different (a trip through the amusement park):

 

the writ tends to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. not sure why that is:

 

 

since the first time i heard it back around ca. 1970, 

i haven't heard a song that's personally more downright troubling:

 

 

play the next one for oh, say 8-10 seconds, then start the one
that follows it, playing both at the same time:

 

 

 

and last but not least, a trip through the amusement park
(because life can be like that sometimes):

 

 

 

brought to you by the gang and others like them

at nurse wretched wench's house for the wayward male

No need to say anything--I likes me some early Cooper, especially the Killer LP
