More Cheech

My sister is visiting and we were driving in the car and out of nowhere, she starts to sing:

"Mamma tried to sock it to me tell me how to live,"
duh nun nuh, duh nun nuh, dunt, dunt, dunt.
"But I could not listen, coz my head is like a sieve"
duh nun nuh, duh nun nuh, dunt, dunt, dunt.
Cheech and Chong

I was laughing SO HARD. I had to look this up and it is from a bit called Earache My Eye.

The correct lyrics are:
EARACHE MY EYE

My momma socks it to me
Trying to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her
'Cause my head in like a sieve
My daddy kicked me out
'Cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom
With a pair of panty hose
Check it!

I still miss the World Trade Center



Thought about this song at the same time.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass they slip away across the Universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva Om.

Chorus:
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the Universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.
Jai Guru Deva Om.

Chorus.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the Universe.
Jai Guru Deva Om.

Chorus.

Jai Guru Deva.

Ali McGraw



Ok, oh my goodness. Scott and I were going to see the movie World Trade Center, which by the way will be a heartbreaker of course. We had made dinner and were going to go to an early show and did not want to rush to finish eating. We had already checked out Love Story, the famous 1970 tear-jerker of another kind. It's a very well written story by Erich Segal.

What blew me away was Ali McGraw. Wow, wow what a true beauty. Today, she is 67 years old! I remember when my own grandmother was 67! Anyhow, I am having a hard time with the fact that she made that film in 1970. I was 9 years old (NINE!) at the time the movie came out and everyone was talking about the "Ali McGraw Hat"
