When The Deal Goes Down Bob Dylan
In the still of the night, in the world’s ancient light
Where wisdom grows up in strife
My bewildered brain, toils in vain
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
Tomorrow keeps turning around
We live and we die, we know not why
But I’ll be with you when the deal goes down
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I’m haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I’ll be with you when the deal goes down
Well, the moon gives light and it shines by night
When I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O’r the road we’re bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I’ll be with you when the deal goes down
Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they’re not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You’ll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that’s sayin’ it true
And I’ll be with you when the deal goes down

i just got out of a meeting with REMIX MAG and the marketing heads at Ex’pression. they’re sending me to ATLANTA! there will be the Remix Hotel, which is a REMIX MAG / Guitar Center Expo / Ex’pression / dj producer event featuring all the new toys from Rane, Numark, Pioneer, Edirol, Stanton, Cakewalk, Serato, Sony, and all that DJ shit!!!!! fuck yea!!!!! all expense paid and 4 star hotel action. pretty nice.
the funny part is that the panels all coincide with BILLBOARD 100’s convention so all the hot shots in hip hop and r&b will all be there! i actually have to research who’s who…we wouldn’t want one of these incidents to happen:
“umm…excuse me…yea you! could you move…ummm…what’s your name…kanye? err…jermaine duper? yea whatever…move. you’re fat head is in the way of my shot. i’m trying to tape chuck D here! ok buddy?”
then a whole entourage of big ass thugs squash me. not even my filipino kung fu cookin’ would save me. but, i’ll bring some lumpias in my pocket to throw at people for pacificism just in case. lol
well, i leave on tuesday 09/06 and will be back on sunday 09/10. i’ll blog while i’m there. i’m not sure how my metalhead indie electro ass will hold up with all the bump’n'grind bling bang gang that’s gonna go down. bump’n'grind? i think i’ll do just fine! lol afterall, i’ll just be the camera-meng.
mmm…lumpias.

______ and i spent enough time during disneyland and campin’ in the woods to realize that we still have feelings for each other.
