| Creedence Clearwater Revival – The Midnight Special Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The original Midnight Special is "the underground RAILROAD" run by freedom loving people to get black folks out of the misery of slavery-- not that all Southerners treated slaves miserably, but the institution itself was miserable despite even the best efforts of anyone to improve it. Prisons are another form of slavery, sometimes people deserve to go to prison, but no one deserves to stay there. The death penalty is more merciful when a man earns it. So, yes, execution is another Midnight Special. Don't know about the old prison superstition... But what about the TV show Midnight Special? that was a bit like the Underground Railroad, it made good music of those days freely available to every home, and opened up a lot of eyes to much beyond the dim constricts of the late 60's & early 70's. The Midnight Special is about freeing people and its still rolling along today. Shine the light on me! |

Having an overcoming attitude can make a police bust turn into a tea party but most people sit like spares on a shelf rusting. Notice how that affects the common people in the streets: they don't care where the pressure comes from, they'll do whatever they have to do! (:{o> Even the park walker can see it's time to head for the hills away from the maddened crowds over the Misty Mountain goblin infested realms of fantasy to where our spirits can LIVE. |
