    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to be free
    Blackbird fly
    Blackbird fly
    Into the light of a dark black night
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise


    - Blackbird, The Beatles (I like the CSN version better.)

    I'm thinking about recording that one...

    Did you guys know this stuff:
    *
    *

    Paul McCartney wrote this about the civil rights struggle for blacks after reading about race riots in the US.
    *
    *

    Only 3 things were recorded: Paul's voice, his acoustic guitar, and his tapping foot. Birds were dubbed in later.​

    I don't think Stephen will do that tonight... David broke his hand in Baltimore the night before last and went to the hospital... so he's not playing tonight, hes just doing vocals.

    Yay... I'm back. That was... an odd experience. Indescribable... not shocking, just odd. I touched Graham Nash's foot during the concert when everybody was right up on the edge of the stage... then during the aftershow thing I shook his hand and he was like "You're the one who touched my foot"... That was freaky. Stephen kicked over a monitor during a solo... David told the staff to back off and then he signaled everyone to come close and people were jumping over chairs trying to get to the stage. David's voice scared the shit out of me it was so strong. I didn't see Stephen then we went outside getting ready to leave and he was talking to Joe Vitale and Jeff Pevar and I met them... that was really strange because they were... in front of me... wtf. Just felt so weird.

    Hahaha... that was funny. After that happened they stared at me because I kept singing... then David found out I was the one with his old guitar... hahaha... I managed to touch Stephen's shoe during a solo.
