about

"If this is wrong I don't want to be right." Or do I? Sometimes the wrong thing can feel just right ...

We're still trying to figure it all out following the breadcrumbs of the intrepid Goldilocks, the big Lebowski, the drunk (but great) Bukowski, and the guy who works at the Chinese Grocery on Howard.

In the meantime here's a musical exploration of the ultimate question ... with a tip of the Fender Medium pick to Mick Ronson, Bowie's masterful guitar slinger, alter ego, and arachnid from the Red Planet.

lyrics

When I look into your eyes
It's like staring into the sun
Maybe that is just the way you look at everyone

In a minefield of your words
I could feel my head explode
I got my blinkers on but I'm still headed down this road

I am trying to do the right thing
But it could go either way
I am trying to do the right thing
The color's gone away...

What would Jesus do?
Turn this water into piss
I guess he'd make his point, it would be miraculous

Time used to be so short
You could watch the hands move on a clock
The universe used to be so small, like going around the block

(Chorus)

In a minefield of your words
I could feel my head explode
I got my blinkers on but I'm still headed down this road
I'm still headed down this road
I'm still headed down this road!
