The "Fugs" made a recording of Buk's "having the flu with nothing else to do."
Manuscript is "having the flu and nothing else to do"
Version in the night torn mad with footsteps
The "Fugs" recorded this in 2003 (which I haven't heard) so I assume they used the night torn mad version since there is no other version after the manuscript.
"it's a kind of lifelong mental vapor-lock" ?
Manuscript is "having the flu and nothing else to do"
I read this book about Dos Passos and according to this
one
D.P. ended up in the Hollywood Hills reading the
WALL STREET JOURNAL.
this seems to happen often with many.
what hardly ever happens is
a man going from being a young conservative to a
wild-ass radical in old age.
young conservatives become old
conservatives
but when a young radical continues on to become an
old radical
he is looked upon much like a man from a mental
institution.
such is politics and you can have
it
keep it
sail it in between the cheeks of your
ass.

Version in the night torn mad with footsteps
having the flu and with nothing else to do
I read a book about John Dos Passos and according to
the book once radical-communist
John ended up in the Hollywood Hills living off investments
and reading the
Wall Street Journal.
this seems to happen all too often.
what hardly ever happens is
a man going from being a young conservative to becoming an
old wild-ass radical.
however:
young conservatives always seem to become old
conservatives.
it's a kind of lifelong mental vapor-lock.
but when a young radical ends up an
old radical
the critics
and the conservatives
treat him as if he escaped from a mental
institution.
such is our politics and you can have it
all.
keep it.
sail it up your
ass.
