You pack your bags
And you move to the city
There's somethin' missin' here at home
You fix your hair
And you're lookin' real pretty
It's time to get it out on your own
You're always fightin'
With your mama and you papa
Your family life is one big pain!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, You gotta move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move

You stole your mama's car
And your daddy's plastic credit card
You're sixteen and you can't get a job
You're not goin' very far
You're always ridin'
With the teachers and the police
This life is much too insane!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, You gotta move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Right to the city
Where the real men get it
Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!

You're on the streets
And it ain't so pretty
You need to get a new what you please
You do what you gotta do for the money
At times you end up on your knees!

I'm always buyin'
With the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain!
But you, you had to move to the city
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, You gotta move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Oh right to the city
With the real nitty gritty
Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!

The song 'Move To The City', from GN'R's 1986 released EP 'Live Like A Suicide'. Its amazing how Axl could actually write songs picking it up from his own life. Thats Axl, each and every song of this guy is too personal to his own! And thats how a true songwriter writes his songs. They write about the real life... they dont write stupid crappy teen age fantasy!

You got it right.... I dont give a fuck about silly love songs! Oh guess who I'd like to quote here? Frank Zappa! Like he wrote in his autobiography, 'The Real Frank Zappa Story'....

"I detest 'love lyrics'. I think one of the causes of the bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics.'

"You're a young kid and you hear all those 'love lyrics,' right? Your parents aren't telling the truth about love, and you can't really learn about it in school. You're getting the bulk of your 'behavior norms' mapped out for you in the lyrics to some dumb fucking love song. It's a subconscious training that creates a desire for an imaginary situation which will never exist for you. People who buy into that mythology go through life feeling that they got cheated or something.

"What I think is very cynical about some rock and roll songs--especialy today--is the way they say: "Let's make love." What the fuck kind of wussy says shit like that in the real world? You out to be able to say "Let's go fuck," or at least "Let's go fill-in-the-blank"--but you gotta say "Let's make love" in order to get on the radio. This creates a semantic corruption, by changing the context in which the word 'love' is used in the song.

"When they get into drooling about love as a 'romantic concept'--especially in lyrics of sensitive singer/songwriter types--that's another shove in the direction of bad mental health."

Well there's Frank as frank for you! Real songwrites shouldnt care bout hits and popularity, they should care about making sense! Thats all folks! Adios!!

If u gimme the make of your computer, Ima give you the direct number.

Otherwise, to permamently solve all the problems, what u can do is throw out ur computer out of the windows, or throw ur windows out of the computer... Either ways the problem is resolved!

It was a pleasure assisting u! Have a great day!

Kim & SP & the young Feyenoord fan!

Did any of u catch the Real vs Atalitico Madrid match the other night? Holly crap no wonder they say Figo is the best! I agree he is! He just drivels the ball from 4 guys.... hard for me to explain how awesome that was.... and just makes the perfect pass... and all Solari had to do was kick the ball... and it was GOAAALLL!! Fuck man! Awesome shit I tell u! I need a video clipping of the fuckin replay to put here... in case u guys missed it!! lol I'm talking about the Spanish League and Silvi is online and she tells me.... "you have to learn spanish, it's your destiny!"

You know what why I changed the headder pic ones again? Well cuz I haven't been listening to much floyd lately! So that picture didnt make much sense! And I havent put on anything remotely Syd, for a while... so there u go! But then I like my Indies and underground shit! So there u have SP and Kim.... (havent been listening to them either)... But I liked those pictures! Now Indie means Indipendent!!

You know what I dunno why I always carry me backpack where ever I go! Its kinda weird of me... Its got mostly junk and shit... say a coupla mags, a book or 2 and loads of shit! Why do I carry it around? My walkman dont work anymore! The walkman would be the reason I started carrying me bag where ever I went... but now I guess I'm so used to it, that I cant do without it (my backpack I mean)!

Seems I have 2 people on me messenger right now... and both are talking bout Jethro Tull stuffs they recently got! Silvi got herself 'Thick As A Brick' and Sandy has got herself 'Passion Play'! And meanie Sandy wont lend it to me!! lol!! Okie I gotta go! Adios!

P.S. --> Think I should really learn Spanish! I cantr get enough of the word adios, eversince I leant it!! Thanks Silvi!!

The Best of Syd Barrett was released two and a half years ago, or even more! I remember sis bought me the album, when I was visiting her in Chandigarh that year!! And it does take some time to grow his music on u! I mean Syd released all his solo stuffs with major help from David Gilmour (who took take of the producer's chair), when he's already a schizophrenic... So for me it was all weird music, with confusing lyrics--too simple, yet too difficult! And then one fine day u just get hooked on!

Well I gotta run! Adios!

Charm thinks I should give my site a sort of psychedelic look... I'm outta ideas how u should do that! So any suggestions guys? Pompy asked me to change my default fonts so I'm doin that! Well all and any suggestions are welcome?

I've been writin a lot of personal shits here... I'm goin back to the point why I started this whole blog... to put my reviews and opinions here! So I might not come back as sooner, but I would definately return with some shit that I think would be worth it!

Cher (who was four and a half years younger than me) once concluded her email with the following set of sentenses, one of her few very last emails...

“Follow your heart and it will lead your way, dont hold back and always say what you need to say, and dont forget to rock and roll all day, may peace love and happiness follow you wherever you go, God bless your soul, TATA for now old friend!”

Did u ever realize how good it feels to let it all out or simply just share! Most of the times we just avoid disclosing something thinking the next person might think stupid or low of us! But sometimes a very few of them can just read all thru u, and that makes u feel a bit free and less defensive and maybe admit to ur stupidness!

I talked to someone special (u know who you are) last afternoon for like 3 hours and it felt so good, I don’t even kno how to react! Some people who read me must often wonder why the fuck I put up with some shit if I dislike it so much! The thing is I hardly have any other option! Does saying that make me too transparent? Maybe but I don’t care! At the end of the day u gotta get outta ur shell!

And I would like to thank that special someone for encouraging me and makin me realize that there’s always a way. Live upto ur dreams and work ur way thru all the shit to make it happen!

I went out and called up Suchos afterwards and spent the evening with her, cuz I didn’t feel like goin back home… and it seems everyone is so fuckin clueless about their future… its not really funny! Funnily I’ve a certain focus on my future… but I’m simply unsure how Ima achieve that! Does that mean I’m at a better or worse position than they are! Or is it that we’re all swimin the fish bowl, year after year!

I read my favorite girl write bout her life in general, college and friends! Somehow it makes my tensions disappear! And then I feel guilty of envying her! But that’s like envying in a good way! There’s so much to learn from her, its just amazing!

I talk to Silvi each time on MSN IM, and I love the way she lives her life… Pursuing what she loves… playing guitar, making music and most importantly playing the music she likes! But that she does side by side with her other thingys… Cuz her band is still not her primary thing! Tho it’d be soon! And there’s so much to learn from Silvi, who’s only a month older than me, yet is so much focused!! She’s earned it! She wasn’t lucky or anything! She has the talent and she’s good!! You gotta work hard for it, whatever hurdles and objections u face!

I find myself to be a little bit of this and a little bit of that! That’s cuz I’m not really focused on any shit! I get bored of situations too soon and start lookin for my way out of it! I should stop being an escapist and try and work my way thru it, rather than figuring (like my good old sis would put), its me vs the rest of the world! Cuz its nothing like that! So why do I think that way? I get mad at my sis or simply feel sad when sis acts a bit hard on me! At the end of the day I realize how right she was and how stupid were my actions and still how patient she is with me!

Then I’m way too defensive!! One thing I surely learnt from my work would be… if u want people to listen to you and take u seriously, u gotta be assertive!! Which I’m definitely not… mostly I myself am so confused and clueless that I let people get on me! And then conclude its me vs the rest of the world! Anyway enough bout me… I love Steve Harris more than ever! And u know what I’m making a promise to myself that one day I sure would play the bass as good as Steve! I dunno when, but I sure would even if by the time I be 50!

Also something else… You kno what, sometimes Kurt Cobain’s lyrics do make a lot of sense… I was reading an article bout Kurt in HT City and I simply cant get enough of his quote which goes like

“I’ve always been optimistic but it’s the Johnny Rotten in me that has to be a sarcastic asshole.”

That exact same line hold dead true for me, if I replace Johnny Rotten with ‘my shitty ideas!’ I dunno but all of a sudden I have a certain amount of respect for him after reading this single statement! Its never was that I hated the guy for what he was or did… I disliked Kurt and his band for its stupid, clueless fan following who worship him like god or some shit! Some of his songs make more sense, than all of those mindlessly shallow love songs put together!

So I gotta take my leave now… but maybe for the first time I would leave u guys with one of Kurt’s songs…

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy … think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover... have a hangover

“man this lisa wilson wants me to check out her porn site bad”

How do u react when u meet an old friend, just out of the blue moon? Even tho its been almost 2 years, u find u remember almost everything bout the person! So I got to talk to charm this afternoon! And we talked for hours…

I met all old friends from the past 4 years, which I keep talking bout here, was thru all sorts of chat rooms. I mean for me, if u have no one to talk to with regard to a particular subject… u tend to go and search for people who might be interested to talk bout the topic!

I think I found the chat rooms in msn as the alternative! It was the year 2002, and MSN Music chat rooms were always happenin and crowded! And this one fine night I just happened to bump into Charm (don’t remember which particular room!) And eversince I started visiting the chat room she used to host by the name ~~~~MetallicaRulz~~~~ I hardly ever was much into Metallica, still aint! But I would visit that room whenever I could cuz I loved all the folks in there and especially charm, who was obviously one of those amazing human beings!

And I knew her for 4 or 5 month till August that year, and then she’d just disappeared! The chat room existed no more and the emails would bounce back! And u still try to send an email every now and then, but no luck! And as years go by, u give up hope!

And then all of a sudden, one fine afternoon in April 2004, u sign into ur msn im to find out someone has added u… and u instinctively click on the Accept button cuz the email address seemed a bit familiar!

And then u right click on the name in the buddy list to check the profile… and u find everything matches except for the first name. .. And u think of writing an email just to confirm, and ur computer reboots… and back online… u see the person online. And u send an IM… “hey is this charm?” … and the rest is history!

And so we talked for hours… and it was so cool to reminisce! ‘It just felt so good to talk to you charm after such a long time!’

And somehow now I’m again hopeful all of a sudden, maybe limpid might come back too! So I’m keeping the faith!

P.S. --> Hey Charm I still have ur old email address in my msn im... and it still has OU812 as the buddy name!

“so much to talk about yet little comes to mind when I try and think of what to say.” --Cher Rainbolt.

Am reading Cher's emails... and i so fuckin miss her!! I have no clue where she has dissapeared! I do hope she's doin good tho, wherever she is! She was my only friend when I had none! And I always thought she's one of those special kids, whom life always treats in a fucked up way, and you wonder what the fuck is wrong with life!

And I think we're so close cuz we're just so much fuckin alike, it was real weird... it was as if we're siblings or some shit like that! And now that I dont hear from her anymore, I feel like a part of me is lost! Rarely do u come across people who are so far apart from the basic average, and u just dont wanna let go of them. So I have all these emails of her which I read when I feel like it, and that makes me miss her even more badly!

Anyway I just wanted to introduce her thru her own words and here they are....

“Shit its really early, my step dad woke me up and I cant get back to sleep. So I figured Id just stay up besides, no eternal reward will forgive us for waisting the dawn- (Jim Morrison)., so Im gettin my shit done and leavin. I might go to the woods or take a little walk downtown.”

“I cant really remember how I got started on classic rock and all that music. I remember finding a bunch of old albums of my dad's and listening to them on my record player and just falling in love with the music. I was just completely blown away by how cool they were. Especially Pink Floyd, I was like WOW now this is good music.”

“...and he also needs to get over that crap about how Jim is god cause he was all about sex drugs and rock n roll. He's sadly mistaken because wasnt it the same Jim Morrison who said he wanted out of the music business cause all people saw him as was some sex god, or the lizard king preferably. He was more than just that, thats the whole reason why he went to Paris, to get away from it all and to work on being an American Poet not the king of acid rock.”

“People are so ignorant sometimes. I say if you dont have a clue as to what your talkin about, keep your damn mouth shut because your just showing your stupidity. You know, I like to bitch about Dave just as well as the next guy, I dont like his lyrics they are so corny if you get what i mean. He tries too hard and says too much in his songs. Its like please just shut up, your saying too much and your just trying to be trendy and its pathetic, I can see right through his songs. I dont know though, there is a lot of Davids music that I havnt heard, and it might be good, or better than what Ive heard. His music just doesnt appeal to me as much as Syd's and Roger's oh and the old Floyd you know. I do like to listen to David's music sometimes though because the beat is so catchy and its fun to sing to, but I cant really take it seriously. Anyway, like I said when I get to talkin about that stuff I just get so carried away.”

“I keep havin visions of me singin and bustin out the most bad ass guitar solo that will shock the world. And while Im doin that Rachel is in the back round playin a classical type piece on her violin,, but we're totally insync with eachother, oh man I can hear it, we are gonna be so great!”

“As of now I am sitting bored out of my guard, in my humble home, which kills me to be in, I cant stand it here, i tell you it will be the death of me if I dont escape it soon. Tonight I have plans to leave and run for miles until I can run no more, then once Ive reached that point I will explore my future school, which is under construction. then maybe I will run over to my neighbors house and engage in an illegal activity, then run home and have a jump in me pool, by then I should have suppressed my souls crying for leaving and hopefully shortly thereafter fall into a deep deep sleep. And those are my plans. Rock on Guns n Roses, rock on Pink Floyd, I love you both I love you all, go Ray, rock on Jim.”

Well thats my good old friend Cher for you guys who dont know her! Those are the words of a 15 year old and there's a lot, lot more to her than these words of hers can explain!.... I was 19 then! And then she was just gone only to reappear in breaks and finally never heard from her after her 17th birthday last year, so its officially 8 months now! The following lines of Roger Waters are like it was written keeping Cher in mind, who would be born only around 11 years from the date it was written...

You brought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school,
And you know you're nobody's fool...

“Follow your heart and it will lead your way, dont hold back and always say what you need to say, and dont forget to rock and roll all day, may peace love and happiness follow you wherever you go, God bless your soul, TATA for now old friend!” --Cher Rainbolt.

P.S. --> Cher is limpid! And u might guess whome this site is dedicated to when I redid it! Cher would go by Limpid Green! Charm is back so maybe Cher would too!

WISH YOU WERE BEER COMMERCIAL

Victoria Bitter, are selling their alcoholic product in Australia (ABC TV) using a version of the Roger Waters penned classic, 'Wish You Were Here. The song is heard to play in the background as a group of Australian men moan about what is on offer at a female organised BBQ. As the chorus starts the men sing, "How I wish you were beer!" Their calls of alcoholic refreshment are answered when a friend arrives with a case of VB beers. Roger wrote the song for the Pink Floyd album 'Wish You Were Here in 1975. Many thanks to Ben (via Echoes) for this news.

I know it took me a whole month to bring myself to write the review, but ever since the concert finished, whenever I hear any of their song I just get the same feeling I'd had at the concert. This was the first time I ever saw them live, and I actually still can't believe I actually saw them!

I am from a small town in Montenegro called Cetinje and I've been listening to this band since I was a little girl and it had never occurred to me that they would ever come to Belgrade or anywhere in formerly Yugoslavia...! Previously the news was they were coming to Budapest and I planned to go there! But then this whole new thing showed up - Deep Purple in Belgrade!!!

So the day came and we were all too excited, because I wasn't the only one who had never seen them before! We arrived 3 hours earlier and still didn't manage to get to the front row—and we did struggle pretty hard. The two bands that opened, sucked! But the audience was definitely on fire and right before Deep Purple started to play it, was like they'd all gone crazy!!! It was really hard to enjoy the concert in such circumstances so I had to draw back! I still wasn't very far from stage, some 20-25 meters, but the feeling just wasn't the same... I now comfort myself with the hope I'll be seeing them the next year or so!

Anyway... And then there they were... Wow, I can still see it all right now... 'Highway Star' heard & seen live... The feeling was unbelievable! Amazing!! Awesome!!! I had chills all over my body and I felt as if my hairs got all up... I didn't know whether I wanted to scream… sing… or cry!!! And it was like I did all of them at one time! I was with my sister 'cause I got separated with the rest of my friends, and she was totally into it too!!!

Hell, they played some stuff I couldn't imagine they would... I was on the verge of tears when they started playing 'Knockin' At Your Back Door'... They were jamming all the time as if they were 20 or something!! Yes, I was totally… completely… thrilled by the way they all did it.

I was a bit sad because I didn't see Jon (Lord) on the keyboards, but the quality of Don (Airey)'s playing couldn't have been questioned!!! Roger (Glover) and Ian (Paice) were as good as always, and Steve (Morse) gave us some really great improvisations and solos. Ian (Gillan) was surprisingly excellent. All the song from the last album he sang remarkably! They all had built such a good rapport with us, the audience… so more points to that. It really means a lot when they show that they care that you care!

But there are also some things I really can't forgive them for...

First one... Somewhere near the end of the show, they were about to play 'Pictures of Home' (Gee I want to cry when I remember this). They were jamming, and then Roger played the bass part that comes before the solo. But the audience were singing 'Black Night' so intensely, that they just forgot all about 'Pictures of Home' and started playing Black Night... Can't forgive them for that!

And, yeah, the end of the concert was not impressive at all... They thanked us and left the stage… and the very moment the lights went on and 'Haunted' was playing from the CD... Then my sister started crying, I was so confused and once again I didn't know whether to sing or cry! I figured, my sister was crying, so I should sing along with the CD...

One more strange thing... They didn't even play a single ballad. I just couldn't believe it. I was hoping for 'When A Blind Man Cries', AT LEAST!!! Well, guess I'll have to wait for another concert then...

Well, a few days had passed when I finally realized that it all actually happened... Then for some days I was grieving for it was all finished etc... Now I'm all ready and patient to wait for the next one!!!

"There it is, got nothing more to add about that, if there’s anything else you want to know about just let me know and I’ll write to you, willingly:)"

My favorite girl on da Deep Purple concert she went to last year! Wrote to me a while back... Just wanted to put it here!!
