OK so you are looking at the Doomsday Clock….Our 401Ks are now 201Ks….
Just the other night Jimmy and Mac were in Key West where they made sure the staff was on the front row before they opened the club for a free show. They performed a new song that I really like. It is a song for the times. I’ll let them take it from here…Maybe this should be followed by a redition of “I Used to Have Money One Time?”

Up on the East side of Manhattan,
They’re still dancing with the stars.
While over in sub prime city,
It’s getting angry in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There’s too much going wrong.
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
and write a high speed drinking song.
Billionaires losing everything.
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,
But, you get to keep your wife!
And don’t forget the automakers
swimming up stream like a trout.
They let the shit hit the fan
and then they made a plan
We’ve got a lot to drink about.
It’s the price of oil,
the war of the soil.
Where’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.
Now, Madoff made off with all the money.
Now his clients are down to skunk weed.
Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see
We’re only talking simple greed.
And all those Somalian pirates are counting all the gold.
While Bush and Cheney ain’t around
and all the good lookers seem to be Czech hookers
from Key West to London town.
It’s the price of oil,
the war of the soil.
Where’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,
pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
That loud mouth soup
gets me kind of loose
Tequila, of course I’ll have some!
Now the family devalues
and little children count their net worth
and the truth wherever it’s hiding,
can be found on Google Earth.
Citibank’s buying jets with our money.
I wanna flog ‘em with a buggy whip.
I hope Obama and Joe won’t let the volcano blow
and patch the hole in our sinking ship.
It’s the price of oil,
the war of the soil.
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.
Recession, Depression, the question good God
CNN keeps bumming me out.
I can’t take another doomsday moment.
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,
a lot to drink about.
OK so now you see why I am a JB fan after 35 years….
Treasure the past…Plan for the Future..but Live in the Moment…I am headed to my beloved South to hang out with my treasured friends and even Jimmy’s sister Lucy…I’ll be checking in later. Until then you can see me down the road….
