Summer Songs

[Native Son]

^ Ooooo, good one, prune.

This one holds special memories. Don't be fooled by the images.: it's strictly a summer-esque offering....or is it? Are county fairs kinda like a seasonal thing? Wouldn't they be more spring or fall? I don't know. Whatever.

Here it is:

I forgot how sexy Perry and Dave were.

 

[Native Son]

Very sexy. But ultimately Navarro is waay too hetero--what a turn off.

Perry is a little more iffy........

'Summer's almost gone/Summer's almost gone/Almost gone…/Yeah, it's almost gone…

'Where will we be…/When the summer's gone?

'Morning found us calmly unaware/Noon burned gold into our hair/At night, we swam in laughin' sea/When summer's gone, where will we be?

'Where will we be?/Where will we be?…'

As did Amy Winehouse – with whom he shared similar, self-destructive addictions – brilliant singer/songwriter Bill Morrissey also died last July 23. There's no vid for this song yet, but here's a page from his 'MySpace' account with an embedded sound file (it's slow, but seems to work eventually)…

'Lord Summerisle: “And the ministers fled the island never to return. What my grandfather started out of expediency, my father continued out of love. He brought me up the same way – to reverence the music, and the drama, and the rituals of the old gods; to love nature, and to fear it, and to rely on it, and to appease it when necessary. He brought me up…*”

'Sergeant Howie: “He brought you up to be a pagan!”

'Lord Summerisle: “A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope, an unenlightened one…”'
