Speed Demon

Walked 2.8 kms in 25 minutes today.

Was listening to Speed Demon when I was driving the scooty yesterday.

Was running late to office and decided to speed up, partly under the influence of the song.

Speeded up and nearly got killed.

Never mind. Made it on time to office on time…

I would mind the least bit, if I get killed listening to music.

Like Bon Jovi said, “Staring down a bullet, let me make my final stand”.

Lyrics to Speed Demon

I’m Headed For The Border
It’s On My Mind
And Nothin’ Really Matters
I’ve Got To Be On Time
Look In The View Mirror
Is He Hot On My Tracks
Is He Getting Nearer
I Feel Some Heat Is On
My Back

(Speed Demon)
Speedin’ On The Freeway
Gotta Get A Leadway
(Speed Demon)
Doin’ It On The Highway
Gotta Have It My Way
(Speed Demon)
Mind Is Like A Compass
I’m Stoppin’ At Nothin’
(Speed Demon)
(He Say) Pull Over Boy And
Get Your Ticket Right . . .

And Nothin’ Gonna Stop Me
Ain’t No Stop And Go
I’m Speedin’ On The Midway
I Gotta Really Burn This Road

(Speed Demon)
Speedin’ On The Freeway
Gotta Get The Leadway
(Speed Demon)
Doin’ It On The Highway
Gotta Have It My Way
(Speed Demon)
Mind Is Like A Compass
I’m Stoppin’ At Nothin’
(Speed Demon)
(He Say) Pull Over Boy And
Get Your Ticket Right . . .

Speed Demon, You’re The
Very Same One
Who Said The Future’s In
Your Hands
The Life You Save Could Be
Your Own
You’re Preachin’ ‘Bout My
Life Like You’re The Law
Gonna Live Each Day And
Hour Like
For Me There’s No Tomorrow

Go! Go! Go! Aaow!

(Speed Demon)
Speedin’ On The Freeway
Gotta Get A Leadway
(Speed Demon)
Got Fire In My Pocket
I Just Lit A Rocket
(Speed Demon)
Just Pull Over Boy
And Get Your Ticket Right
(Speed Demon)
Pull Over Boy And
Get Your Ticket Right
(Speed Demon)
Just, Pull Over Boy
And Eat Your Ticket
Pull Over Boy
Pull Over Boy
And Get Your Ticket Right
Ugh!
Aaow!
Uhh!
Hoo!
Get Your Ticket Right
Pull Over Boy
Get Your Ticket Right
Pull Over Boy And
Get Your Ticket Right
Pull Over Boy
Pull Over Boy And
Get Your Ticket
Eat Your Ticket
Get Your Ticket
Eat Yo’, Get Yo’, Hoo! Aaow!
Get Your Ticket Right

Bob Dylan – Knocking on heavens door

Who hasn’t sung Knocking on Heaven’s door?
Latest I know is Avril Lavigne. Many others have as well…Guns and Roses, Byrds, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith even Roger Water’s got an unreleased verion.

Even I’ve sung it… in college, with guitar junkies playing their instruments as we walked on the streets at 2 am in a drizzle on our way from hostel to the main gate in an adventure to find masala tea and masal vadai.

There is no denying that it is a special song.

But it has taken me 32 years of living on this planet to lay my hand on the Bob Dylan original, yesterday. Knocking on heaven’s door in Dylan’s characteristic half talking half singing voice sure stuck awe.

Starting yesterday, I am among the people who have the complete discography of Bob Dylan. I wish the education system was flexible enough to allow an engineer to pursue a Doctorate in Music. I only wish I find like minded friends to share and document his master pieces.

Is there some one who is willing to write a book on the “revolutionary, mysterious, ingenious and completely inspirational musician, poet and artist” with me? Did you know that in every langauage there are  Bob Dylan wannabes?

There is much more perspective to Bob Dylan than what can be covered in a Ph.D. thesis. 
eg:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7  8 9 …

Led Zep gave the Stairway to Heaven,  Dylan knocked on it, who is going to break it open?

Lyrics to Knocking on heavens door
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin’ down
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
