Black man comin' down the avenue
Arm shot full of holes, don't know what to do
Goes to the doctor, says Doctor please
Just give me something to make the pains cease
Said I can't do nothing about it

I can't learn to live without it
I can't cope or strike out at it
I can't get through the night without it
I can't fight the finding out about it
I just wanna die without it

This reminds me of The Mad Hatter and Jabberjaw in Los Angeles during the exact same era. All these people who became well-known later came out of these places. Shit, some penniless, experimental losers at both locations are millionaires now. You could do anything at all.
Fuck, I'm better off now, but I miss 1990.

something that doesnt exist today is people trying to have fun and create a fun positive unique spontaneous scene. This is partially because all the real estate is sky rocketing everywhere(Probably to stop artists and musicians from collaborating and possibly making a difference)
