Monkey = Rock



I finally finished a song I've been working on for what seems like forever . . . it's about the primitive anger and frustration that's lurking just below the surface of modern life, the feeling that sometimes-- even though it's not appropriate-- you just want to throw shit around and rant and rave, for the stupidest reasons: you're behind a garbage truck and you can't pass it and it smells, or you have to put the laundry away, or it's your turn to cook dinner and you bought shrimp that haven't been deveined . . . anyway, it's called "Monkey Mind," because all the great bands have a songs with "monkey" in the title.

  4. A call monkey is like a call girl.

    She WISHES she were going to heaven.

  5. That was me being facetious. I actually have no judgment where hooking is concerned. While I steer clear, I endorse a free market economy with no restrictions for the oldest profession.
