so i made the 360-mile journey from fairbanks to anchorage to see two dan bern shows...he was very entertaining, sang very different kinds of songs, and made it very believable that he's written 2000 songs... that said, between moments of ecstatic enraptured listening, i almost fell asleep a couple times, but maybe that was the long drive... he played an old gibson guitar and sometimes a harmonica and that was
it.to possibly incur kravitz's wrath, a little cut and paste:
SUICIDE BOMB (from the world cup book/ep)This is the last song I will ever write
I'll plug my ears and cover up my eyes to mask my sight
I'm killing off my instincts after 2,000 songs
I'm getting with the program, now I'm gonna play along This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bombI can't compete with blowing up yourself on a bus
Killing one of you and 19 of us
Flying hi-jacked airplanes so thousands will die
But I can kill too and blacken out the sky This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bomb This is the last song I will ever write
The last blank page my pen will ever blight
Abandoning the fight, I'm pulling off the gloves
No longer be a soldier for God or truth or love This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bomb
