the world moves slow that familiar riff repeats takes me back takes me back that freedom time dervish twirling on that pow wow highway spinning & hair in wind pushing through the day like fires raging summer hot day sanctuary under veil, smile hot road naphthalene rising over ravens cornrow watching midday

LOVE this. Amazing what the power of a good lyric or riff can do and what magic elixir they hold.

Indeed. It’s an old riff that captivated me from the first time I heard it back in the mid-80s. It’s been playing in my head since I saw a semi-live recent rendition of it on YouTube the other day and it brings me to a place in my mind located in nowheresville plains Upper Midwest Plains, biker leather on, long hair, and getting down with some earthsoul.

Great piece which really captures that sense of nostalgia – although I’m not sure that the ‘good old days’ were actually as good as we’d like to think!

Probably not. But it never happened except in my head, and last weekend at that, so I can overlook the crap that probably went on if it had happened. 🤣
