Happy New Year !

and stronger and happier than I've been since before my car accident. Peace !

Petty has always been one of my favorites since high school.

I've stopped thinking of this as "one" of Petty's best albums....started thinkin' it's his best album, period.

I hadn't heard that song before this morning, but Sirius played FOTD so I went looking around on other stations and that song was playing, and it spoke to "me". Peace

You're with me tonight on this dark highway We've run it together so many times We've run it for money We've run it for music We've run it to pay for our innocent crimes I took on my father and I'm still standing Took on all comers in some shape or form And I see with the eyes of something wounded Somethin'still standing after the storm Here's one to glory and survival And stayin alive It's the running man's bible I been next in line I been next to nothin' Been next to bystanders that should have said somethin' It was not in my vision It was not in my mind To return from a mission A man left behind Here's one to glory and survival And stayin alive It's the runnin' mans bible I don't speak of the times I've nearly died I don't speak of out lastin' those who are gone Or the things I've done I care not to remember Or the desperate measures That might have been wrong Here's one to glory Here's to bad weather And all the hard things We've been through together Here's to the golden rule and survival And to stayin alive

...the last time they played in Golden Gate Park for the Bill Graham memorial. 18 years later Furthur takes the stage in the Park again with a huge amount of other acts over two days in a benefit for the SF Parks dept. Hopefully a greatful taper will have it up on archive soon.
