If it keeps on rainin'........

The levee's gonna break.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

1. I think it broke here yesterday

In the Valley behind my office, they were evacuating and shuttling people around on bulldozers and other county vehicles.

2. It's pretty soggy here too.

And an Arctic front is coming through tonight. Can't wait.

3. Yeah

And we will get it a few hours after you do. It's warm here now, but windy.
Btw, The Raspberries are playing House of Blues there (Chicago) soon. I figure you wouldn't be interested, but I thought I would tell ya anyway. I'm going to check out the House of Blues here tomorrow night. It just opened about two months ago. It's just a private party, but I want to check it out.

4. Well I certainly love the Raspberries of old.....

But I'm not really into the whole reunion thing.

I even kinda regret going to see Roxy a couple of years ago. It sort of tainted my image of them.

5. I know what ya mean.

I really don't do too many shows anymore because most of the people I would like to see would probably disappoint. :)
As for the Raspberries, I hear it's a good show. My buddy is playing "backup" guitar for them and doing the vocals that Carmen can't handle any longer..lol. Well, that's the way he explained it to me. I guess if I had free tickets I would check them out.

Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 11:12 AM by XNASA

and another guy with a Brian Eno avatar discuss the Raspberries on a thread that started out as a Led Zep reference.
