Pancho and Lefty

Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard

Livin’ on the road my friend

Was gonna keep you free and clean

Now you wear your skin like iron

And your breath’s as hard as kerosene

You weren’t your mama’s only boy

But her favorite one it seems

She began to cry when you said goodbye

And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit boys

His horse was fast as polished steel

He wore his gun outside his pants

For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know

On the deserts down in Mexico

Nobody heard his dyin’ words

Oh that’s the way it goes

All the Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

Lefty

He can’t sing the blues

All night long like he used to

The dust that Pancho bit down south

Ended up in Lefty’s mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low

Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go

There ain’t nobody knows

All the Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

The poets tell how Pancho fell

And Lefty’s livin’ in a cheap hotel

The desert’s quiet and Cleveland’s cold

So the story ends we’re told

Pancho needs your prayers it’s true

But save a few for Lefty too

He only did what he had to do

And now he’s growin’ old

All the Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Our of kindness I suppose

A few gray Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose

Vendetta

WhiteHeart

Count the locks

Upon your door

Guess Beaver doesn’t

Live here anymore

A gun for me

A gun for you

Now they’re killing people

For their tennis shoes

Young and old

Share the fear

A violent streak

Is running everywhere

Ooh

It’s hard to say

How it got this way

Feel the anger burning

Holy anger rising

Up in you

What should we do

Vendetta against

The raging world

Vendetta against

The lies we’ve heard

Vendetta led

By love not hate

It’s the only way

The pattern breaks

No

Quietly

We lose the hope

While the media

Pushes the envelope

Hear the warning cries

The sirens blare

I wonder

Do we love enough to care

Care enough to stand

Heal this broken land

And love the lost

At any cost

Vendetta against

The raging world

Vendetta against

The lies we’ve heard

Vendetta led

By love not hate

It’s the only way

The pattern breaks

No

Vendetta

Vendetta

Oooh

TFT: Willie Nelson

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

Willie Nelson

If you would not have fallen

Then I would not have found you

Angel flyin’ too close

To the ground

And I patched up your broken wing

And hung around for a while

Tryin’ to keep your spirits up

And your fever down

And I knew someday

That you would fly away

For love’s the greatest healer

To be found

So leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flyin’ too close

To the ground

Fly on

Fly on past

The speed of sound

I’d rather see you up

Than see you down

Leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flyin’ too close

To the ground

Leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flyin’ too close

To the ground

Always On My Mind

Willie Nelson

Maybe I didn’t love you

Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn’t treat you

Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best

Girl I’m sorry I was blind

But you were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you

All those lonely lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I’m so happy that you’re mine

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me

Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died

And give me

Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

I’ll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Come Monday...Gordon Ramsay

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about,  websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time.  Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.”  This is subject to change, however.  In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while.  For rants promote change, and change can be good—right?  Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

I don’t remember from where I heard it, but a quote from [Gordon Ramsay] has stuck with me.  For it came soon after the American version of his [Hell’s Kitchen] became a smash hit over here, and the quote had him saying something about him desperately wanting to get off of television as soon as possible.

Am I missing something?  Is FOX holding something over his head in order to keep him on prominent display in their primetime lineup?

Prominent display is something of an understatement.  For the ninth season of Hell’s Kitchen just ended on September 19^th, and rebroadcasts of it are already being aired in primetime on Saturday nights.

Saturday (as at least some of you may realize) comes one day after Friday, which is when the American version of his [Kitchen Nightmares] is now in its fifth season.  Just in case you are trying to keep score at home, the fourth season ended in May of this year.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the American version of his [MasterChef].  The second season of that show ended in August of this year, and a third season is scheduled to begin next week.

Okay, I made up the part about the third season of the American MasterChef beginning next week, but are you starting to get the picture?  For one can see a new episode of at least one of Gordon’s shows more weeks than not in a given year, and this is not counting the British versions of each show!

It is said that credit should be given where it is due, and I suppose that should also apply to blame.  Therefore, my wife and I must stand accused.  For it was not for people like us, maybe Gordon could realize his dream of getting off of the air for good.

Did you notice that I did not say anything about him leaving the limelight?  For as they used to say about the British Empire, the sun doesn’t set on his [restaurants], with several of them being [Michelin-Starred].  He also has his own [product lines], of course.

Alas, I am compelled to also mention that he is a Scot.  For a certain element of my audience could be considered unhinged.  I refuse to say anything about him starting out as a promising soccer player, however.

A Sunday Drive

Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Trib Updates

This is a weekly series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter.  Hopefully, this will encourage you to go check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number of truly outstanding authors.  Moreover, I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author, as well.  The “Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions.  Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam On Saturdays)”  segment before, but it just wasn’t working for me.  Therefore, that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.

[A Personal Appeal from Lavender Darwin NOT to Support Wikipedia (and instead support Famine Relief in Africa!)] is another rant by Lavender Darwin.

[The Paisley Apology] is from me about you-know-who.

[Dixie-Chick Foot-in-Mouth Disease] has Lavender expounding upon nutritional values.

[I Killed GLaDOS…. CAKE!.... and “Am I in Sync”?] is something by Lavender that I am still not sure about.

[Zeitgeist Seduction!!] is from Lavender with an audio recording of a sermon by Joey Faust]

[Muy Bueno, DIRECTV] is from me about a solicitation my mother-in-law received in the mail that is directed towards Spanish-speaking people living in America.

[Blogs of note: Pyromaniacs!] has Lavender singing the praises of the site, which should give us all fair warning.

[“180” Movie] is from Lavender containing the YouTube release of the movie.

[Hitler Killed Disabled Children and So Do We] is from Lavender containing a link to an article that compares legal abortions in this country to actions taken by the Nazis before their defeat in WW II.

[“Courageous” Movie – What WON’T Be In It…] contains a review of the movie by Lavender.

[Saggy Pants Ban…Brilliant!] has Lavender supporting a decision by the powers that be in Albany, GA to ban wearing baggy pants in public.

[IKEA Nursery for Men?  Are we that far gone as a society…?] contains a video that appears to answer Lavender’s question.

[Late-Breaking News!]

Around ten minutes ago, I was informed that The Really Right Reverend Paisley Ledbetter had been taken into custody on account of multiple probation violations.  It was not specified if his article on Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin (with them being shown less than fully clothed) had anything to do with it, but it would appear that his probation officer, who just got back from an extended vacation, has a thing for Hillary Clinton.

What was specified is that Paisley is to be held at the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners here in Springfield until he can be transferred to the supermax penitentiary in Florence, CO to serve the remainder of his 356 year sentence for a number of heinous crimes against humanity.  When I asked what those might be, I was told that I didn’t want to know.

By the time I was notified of his arrest, all of Paisley’s published articles had already been deleted, and I was given some indication of what he had in the works.  No, you don’t want to know.

Since Paisley will not be permitted anymore contact with the outside world, ever hearing anything from him again is highly unlikely.  The parents of kids (both human and goat) should be very thankful.
