    ~~SLOW DOWN !~

    This was written by a terminallly  ill  girl in NYC ~~~~~
     
     
     


    SLOW DANCE


    Have you ever
    watched kids
    On a merry-go-round?

    Or listened to
    the rain

    Slapping on the ground?

    Ever followed a
    butterfly's erratic flight?

    Or gazed at the sun into the fading
    night?

    You better slow down.


    Don't dance so
    fast.
    Time is short.

    The music won't
    last.

    Do you run through each day

    On the
    fly?
    When you ask How are you?

    Do you hear the
    reply?

    When the day is done

    Do you lie in your
    bed

    With the next hundred chores

    Running through
    your head?

    You'd better slow down

    Don't dance so
    fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won't
    last.

    Ever told your child,

    We'll do it
    tomorrow?

    And in your haste,

    Not see
    his

    sorrow?

    Ever lost touch,

    Let a good
    friendship die

    Cause you never had time

    To call
    and say,'Hi'
    You'd better slow down.

    Don't dance
    so fast.
    Time is short.

    The music won't
    last.


    When you run so fast to get somewhere

    You
    miss half the fun of getting there.

    When you worry and hurry
    through your day,


    It is like an unopened
    gift....

    Thrown away.

    Life is not a
    race.

    Do take it slower

    Hear the
    music

    Before the song is over.

     

     

     Slow down ya' move too fast gotta' make the morning last !!!!

    ~~WINO FALLS APART ~~

    ART !!!!!
     

    ~~BELEW ~ LONE RHINICEROS ~~

    Im a lone rhinoceros
    There aint one hell of a lots of us
    Left in this world

    I stand alone in my concrete cell
    Where people stare and toss me coke cans
    I guess its better than being poached
    But Id give my horn just to see my homeland

    Im a lone rhinoceros
    There aint one hell of a lots of us
    Left in this world

    They say I am ugly,
    Call me a beast
    I hear them snicker
    When Im half asleep
    Is beauty such a big commodity
    I always heard it was only so deep

    Im a lone rhinoceros
    There aint one hell of a lots of us
    Left in this world

    I know the zoos protect my species
    They give me food, collect my feces
    But I cant help it, I miss the past
    Ill never again see my good old mudbath

    Adrian Belew (born Robert Steven Belew, December 23, 1949, in Covington, Kentucky) is an American guitarist and vocalist (and sometimes drummer, pianist and bass player), perhaps best known for his work as a member of the progressive rock group King Crimson, which he first joined in 1981.

    He has also released a number of solo albums for Island Records and Atlantic Records, and has worked with many other musicians. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2005 for his single Beat Box Guitar, in the category Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

    Belew rose to prominence as a guitarist alongside several name acts before becoming the front man for King Crimson. He prevailed through a competitive audition to perform with Frank Zappa in 1977, appearing in Zappa's 1979 concert film Baby Snakes, as well as Zappa's controversial album Sheik Yerbouti. Belew then played for David Bowie's "Heroes" tour in 1978, recorded for the double live album Stage, and contributed to Bowie's next album, Lodger. (Later, in 1990 he acted as musical director on Bowie's 'Sound + Vision' tour while providing guitar/backing vocals.) Belew next assisted Talking Heads on Remain in Light and the subsequent tour (documented in the second half of The Name of This Band is Talking Heads), and played for Heads' side projects: the debut album by Tom Tom Club, The Red and the Black by Jerry Harrison, and several tracks of David Byrne's The Catherine Wheel soundtrack.

    In addition, Belew is well-regarded for his contributions, particularly on guitar, to various other artists' recordings. His session credits include Lights Out by Peter Wolf, Earth Moving by Mike Oldfield and Paul Simon's landmark 1986 album Graceland. He worked with Laurie Anderson during the mid-1980s, appearing on Mister Heartbreak and her subsequent concert film Home of the Brave, and then again for her 1994 album, Bright Red. He contributed to a Ryuichi Sakamoto album called Lefthanded Dream in 1981, together with Robin Scott of the pop group "M". During the 1990s, he contributed to two Nine Inch Nails albums, The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. He played synthesized guitar on the song God Shuffled His Feet by Crash Test Dummies in 1993. In 1995 he produced two tracks on Jars of Clay's debut album, including the crossover Christian hit "Flood".

    In the late 80s, Belew formed the pop band The Bears with ex-members of The Raisins (a Cincinnati-based band that had some local success in the early 1980s), and released two albums, The Bears and Rise and Shine. A third album, Car Caught Fire, followed in 2001. The Bears released their fourth studio album, Eureka, early in 2007.

    He is featured prominently on Tori Amos's 2001 album of cover versions, Strange Little Girls. He also contributed his lead guitar stylings to Cyndi Lauper 's album, " True Colors", Porcupine Tree's album, Deadwing (2005) and a track I Can't Get Behind That, (also featuring Henry Rollins) on the 2004 Ben Folds-produced William Shatner album Has Been. He is featured as "primary guitarist" on the album Habitat by progressive rock band Man on Fire.
