Song Quote of the Day
I'd like to do a song now. I don't usually do this song because I felt pretty weird about it. I was told by a lot of people that most of my songs people can't understand on account of some reason or another. At one time in my life a lot of people told me that. But I realize now that it doesn't make any difference - everybody's gotten so hip they'll pretend they understand it. Anyway, the first part of each of these verses is conscience and the second part is reality. It's called Down By The River. If any of you follow any of the things I do very much, this is the second in a trilogy. The first one was Broken Arrow. This is the second one. And if you don't follow it, that's cool, you're here.
