Remember the Alamo
When help was on the way
It's better here and now
I feel that good today

I'd like to take a walk
But not around the block
I really got some news
I met a man from Mars
He picked up all my guitars
And played me traveling songs

And when we got on ship
He brought out something for the trip
And said, It's old but it's good
Like any other primitive would

I'm gonna ride my llama
From Peru to Texarkana
I want to ride him good
In my old neighborhood
I'm gonna ride him good
In my old neighborhood

And when we got on ship
He brought out something for the trip
And said, It's old but it's good
Like any other primitive would

    This is just a weird song that sort of makes one speechless and wondering the strange mind of Neil Young and how he comes up with this shit. Great tune, I just have no idea what this could be about... a man from Mars I guess? huh?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
