Holy rollers
desperate time was stolen
all your magic has been turnin back
dont you know your touch is far from golden
we'll be movin before you attack

I've got to learn to love again
just livin my life is bittersweet

Rain is falling hard into the river
time is slipping inbetween the cracks
touch me and you will be struck my lightning
so dont be shy
dont be holding back

I've got to learn to love again
just livin my life is bittersweet

Rain is falling hard into the river
time is slipping inbetween the cracks
touch me and you will be struck my lightning
so dont be shy
dont be holding back

I've got to learn to love again
just livin my life is bittersweet
Galactic

Holy cow. Bill and Rebecca just played the following sequence:
Hello Sunshine -- Bruce Springsteen
The Dangerous Ones -- Kasey Anderson
Powder Finger -- Beat Farmers
New Orleans is Sinking -- Tragically Hip
Saint Judas -- Natalie Merchant
Might Makes Right -- Camper Van Beethoven
Bittersweet -- Galactic

That's a pretty strong theme. Very well played!

In case you weren't trying to be funny......https://pothead.de/

This one's still a 9 for me, and in the middle of a 3x9 set by BillG (Evor's 'Rain' and Dr. John's 'Right Place Wrong Time' on either side of this tune.  Long Live RP and all the great tunes you play, BnR!!

We will return to this argument after I point out that both of the competitors, judging by their handles, are obviously Primus fans, and should be able to find some common ground on this discussion.  Anyway...



what an observation!!   Sorry it took me 11 years to read it!   

I don't think I even read floydoftherocks handle when I made the comment back then.  But I still can't understand how two Primus fans could have such differing opinions on this singer though.   I will say, on this tune he sounds like Ozzy, War Pigs era,  and that's a good thing!

I saw Galactic with opening band High & Mighty Brass Band in Blacksburg, VA, February 2019.  Both were great, but at the end, they did a 20 minute encore with about 1/2 of each band.  F*ing amazing.  I only wish it had been recorded.
