Here's another clue:

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

"Black Cow" - Steely Dan

Ah, this one I know:

"What a Fool Believes" - The Doobie Brothers

Here's a new one:

"Look up on the wall, there on the floor,"

I'm not sure where Sharon disappeared to, but I'm 99% sure that it is "Sugar Magnolia".

So, I'm going to move it along.

Here's the clue:

The drums will shake the castle wall,

The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on

PS I hope y'all weren't waiting on me!

All good little WOW's must be home by midnight.

I totally forgot about that rule. Not that I ever took it too seriously.

I remember at least two nights that I didn't even make it home until morning...kinda missed the curfew.

But, I guess it was okay since I was out drinking (heavily) with the boyfriend of the FC.

We were both so drunk, we passed out in the car and woke up when the sun came up.

Yup, drunk in Cleveland...what a way to spend a WOW year!

Although, the rule did come in handy when I was in a bar...uh, witnessing..and I no longer wanted to talk to someone.

Gotta go...gotta be home by midnight. As I'm typing this, I am just totally laughing...how stupid was that rule?

OMG, I can't believe I ever did that.

We also had a TV on the WOW field. Someone was putting a TV in the curbside trash, I just happened to be driving by,

and I asked them if I could have it, they said yes, so I took it home. Nothing wrong with it, worked fine all year.

I didn't watch it much because I was out drinking and shooting darts.

Basically I didn't have a lot of material stuff when I was with TWI because I was always moving.

I went from the WOW field, to a WOW vet home, to a Way home, to the College Division, then back to my home town.

About nine months after that move, I learned about the adultery and poop paper and I said I'm done with this organization.

A year after I left TWI, I had a new TV, a new bed, new linens, a bunch of new clothes and shoes, a new car, new furniture, and a house.

The moral of the story for me...leave TWI, become prosperous.

Funk # 49 is correct.

Your turn.

Yeah, VPW junior wants to start another Way Corps and call it by a different name - SOWERS.

Goals (from the SOWERS website):

To Fearlessly Pursue an Understanding in These Principles:

1. Acquire an in-depth spiritual perception and awareness.

2. Receive training in the whole Word so as to be able to teach others.

3. Physical training making your body, the "vehicle" of communication of the Word, as vital as possible.

4. Practice believing to bring material abundance to you and the Ministry.

5. Go forth as leaders and workers in areas of concern, interest, and need.

Do these "goals" sound familiar to anyone else but me?

I wonder if the powers that be at TWI know about this?

Are you Experienced?

"The Wind Cries Mary" - Hendrix

New one:

"Sleep all day, out all night"

Okay, me slapping my forehead - how did I did I not get this?

Maybe it was too much of that brown acid in my ill-spent youth!

Thanks for the clue Tom - it's only one of my favorite Dead songs.

"Sugar Magnolia" - The Grateful Dead

Bowtwi, you are correct.

If you haven't seen it, the video is hilarious. It includes William Shatner, Jim Belushi,

and the guy who played Costanza on Seinfield (should know his name, but can't remember it).

Here's the link to the vid:

Your turn...

Wow, I'm shocked that I guessed correctly!

Here's the new one:

"Someday I'm going to be famous"

"I am a Rock" - Simon and Garfunkel???

Update:

My friend was released from the hospital this afternoon.

The surgery went well and the doc. was able to stop the bleeding.

For me, it's been a wild few days - taking care of the pets (three birds and two dogs),

keeping the family informed, and going to the hospital.

Now, she's in the "I'll can do it myself" mode and doesn't want to be a bother.

Jeez, it's like looking in a freaking mirror. I hate it when that happens.

For all the prayers:

Thank You, Thank You, Thank you

I took my good friend to the emergency room today for uncontrollable bleeding.

She's heading for emergency surgery now, Weds. PM.

Please pray for her that the surgery go well and please say a little prayer for me

so that I can be strong for her.

Thanks

That's it.

"Space Cowboy" by the gangster of love himself, Steve Miller.

You're up.

The following quotes are taken from an essay by Audre Lorde entitled "Transformation of Silence into Language and Action".

Lorde wrote the essay shortly after she was faced with the diagnosis of breast cancer:

I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared,

even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. That the speaking profits me, beyond any other effect.

In becoming forcibly and essentially aware of my mortality, and of what I wished and wanted for my life, however short it might be,

priorities and omissions became strongly etched in a merciless light, and what I most regretted were my silences.

Of what had I ever been afraid? To question or to speak as I believed could have meant pain, or death.

But we all hurt in so many different ways, all the time, and pain will either change or end.

Death, on the other hand, is the final silence.

We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired.

For we have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence

for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.

What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt

to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?

My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.

"I told you 'bout living in the U. S. of A."

Good to know!

Thanks WW.

I couldn't find anywhere that Guns N Roses had done a cover on "Dead Flowers", although they did cover another Stones song.

However, since Tom deferred to Sharon, I'd say it's Sharon turn.

"Layla" - Derek & The Dominos/Eric Clapton

---------------

I told you 'bout living in the U. S. of A.

That's it.

Your turn.

Blame it all on my roots

"Honky Tonk Women" The Rolling Stones

Tom is right. Dead Flowers is on "Sticky Fingers" and was released in 1971 by the Rolling Stones.

But, both of you have the title correct. So, who goes?

I guess Tom, since he had the overall correct information? I'm not real sure about the "rules" in such a situation.

Help!

Well, when you're sitting back
