Cover art for Lucky Man lyrics by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

It's about the harsh realities of life, and just being born on third base doesn't mean you hit a triple, or that you'll make it home.

@inpraiseoffolly interesting analogy because if you've made it home in baseball you've scored a run. It doesn't really matter how you scored, except for individual stats.
