Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Thursday free ad for Bob: Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door

1997. Lyrics here, if you need them. One verse:

Gonna sleep down in the parlor
And relive my dreams
I'll close my eyes and I wonder
If everything is as hollow as it seems
Some trains don't pull no gamblers
No midnight ramblers, like they did before
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Live, Atlantic City, 2000

Great song, one of his best post-Blood On The Tracks pieces. One case where the live version doesn't match up to the studio, though. Of course I'm also the guy who thinks the studio Blonde On Blonde version of "Visions Of Johanna" is better than the 1966 Live version, too.
