Musical Interlude: All the news about deportations....and the callous attitude toward the safety of those being deported...brought this song to mind. The lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie, and set to music by Martin Hoffman. It's about a real-life disaster in 1980; look up the Los Gatos crash and you'll read the horrid details.
"Deportee (Plane Crash at Los Gatos)," performed by Arlo Guthrie and Hoyt Axton.

And sank into your dreams”#TownesVanZandt #SteveEarle #EmmylouHarris #HoytAxton #MerleHaggard #WillieNelson #DavidGans

Let's pick a super one tonight, and my pick is Hoyt Axton's Life Machine, a splurge and go to from the days of goodness, nostalgia, & less complication, 1974.
The Møøse wishes those days could return, but knows they still exist, in a way, when a LP like this spins. 😀

Some people say I'm a no-'count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just
a natural-born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should
And I don't give a damn (hoot)
about a greenback dollar💵
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song & a good 🎸
The only things that I understand
