Spoon Man

[Discombobbled]

Is this not the best song ever or what?

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I’m together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are indians
All my friends are brown and red, spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I’m together with your plan
Save me

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman

i like that it was written about a street performer in Seattle and they got the guy in the song and put him in the video. i wonder if he ever got off the street because of that song?

Artis the Spoonman. He was, and probably still is, actually doing pretty well with his gigs. He's got a wife and a couple of kids. And after a long day, he hops into his Volvo station wagon and heads home to them.

I don't know 'Spoons' yet he (or she) might be in jail, Probably a minor matter, however, if you need some legal advice, I'm more than willing to help.

Just insanity, life is far too short to be serious all the time.

I was distraught when they broke up. And totally shocked to hear about Layne Staley's decomposing body found in an off campus apartment. It's official Grunge Alternative is dead.

 

[DJLAW]

i was a total grunge kid. it is sad that it is dead.

Maynard James Keenan (of Tool) was quoted as saying that the death of Layne was the greatest waste of talent and tragedy that he had ever seen.

i was happy when mark lanegan showed up on the queens of the stone age record. it was funny though. when they would come out for a live show they would give him a big intro and the kids were like "who the hell is mark lanegan?"


FYI. mark lanegan is the former lead singer of Screaming Trees if anyone was wondering.

Not really.
It's a good tune, no question.
But the best Soundgarden songs are "Jesus Christ Pose" and "My Wave".

Fair enough. I also like The Tea Party. Exceptional lyrics.
