Just got do listening to this old song and never really heard this in the song.
Can you guess the artist and song?
"
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall "

Paul Simon - Kodachrome
Yep, but i have listened to it a thousand times , and for some reason, that lyric stood out the most. Reminds me in my youth.

that's kinda weird seeing how it's the first verse. and yes it's one of those that makes you think about when you were younger.

I keep thinking it was Creedence Clearwater Revival's fortunate son, until I searched it. Never new about with Living Colour even though I love that song and heard it many times over.

when i was in the Corps, there was a SOG that would bring his Guitar down to the pound and me and him would sit in the weight room and practice that song, i couldn't play for shit, but could sing pretty damn good. we spent hours after our shift getting that right. ol Sgt Ski, i can still see him now, was one of the coolest section leaders we had.
one more, then i'll quit.
Quote:About all the pain and injustice
About all of the sorrow
We're living in a danger zone
The world could end tomorrow
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

Did'ja know that was a fluke? The lead guitars didn't show up and they subbed it in. Bam!!
Rafferty was another genius.
