Just curious what stays with people...

Man, I second that Hendrix response - "Castles Made of Sand". Been listening to it for over 35 years and still gives me chills.

"Cops in cars, the topless bars...never saw a woman so alone." 'LA Woman' - The Doors

"And the sun came in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses,
oh won't you stay and we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses." 'Chelsea Morning' - Joni Mitchell

The entire 'Maggie's Farm' - Dylan
I am slow to move these feet of clay
you passed me by
now you are in my way
I take my change at my own damn pace
I will move along one day
on the lighter side . . .
"See the little faggot with the earing and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire"

from Dire Straits - "Money for Nothing"

and more serious . . .

"I saw a pearl of wisdom
in the spirit of a man,
as he saved the day he lost.

Time will say I told you so
if we look back in regret.
Never give a day away.
It won't return the same again.

Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today."

- "For Today" by Camel. off of "A Nod and a Wink"
The sign said 'no long hairs need apply'. So I tucked my hair up under my hat and went in to ask him why.
He said 'you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think
you'll do. So I took off my hat and said' imagine that...me working for you!'
