    Deep Down Inside, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

    Sometimes the Universe delivers the perfect song at the perfect time for ya. I was walking to the West 4th Subway stop this morning, thinking about that what I'd written in that post I'd written yesterday about wondering what I'm doing on TV for a living. And existentially I suppose, I was also thinking about writing that post I'd written yesterday. Not surprisingly, I suppose, there's been some confusion and/or purposeful misinterpretation of what I'd meant.

    Anyway, the first song that hits as I skipped the song in midstream when I put in my headphones (I hate starting a song mid-song...I wanna hear what the artist meant me to hear, you know?) was my main man, the man whom I've named my rock band after (Museum of the Horse...we do Crazy Horse covers, see?), the very reason I play guitar as I've explained before on The Cody Blog.

    We almost had Neil Young booked on Happy Hour for news of his Java/Blu-Ray release...oh, I seriously don't know what I would have done. I'd have been like Chris Farley when he interviewed Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live. "Doh! Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

    At any rate, the song, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. The lyrics, as only Senor Young could write them:

    I think I'd like to go back home
    And take it easy
    There's a woman that I'd like to get to know
    Living there

    Everybody seems to wonder
    What it's like down here
    I gotta get away from this day-to-day
    running around,

    Everybody knows
    this is nowhere.

    Everybody, everybody knows
    Everybody knows.

    Every time I think about back home
    It's cool and breezy
    I wish that I could be there right now
    Just passing time.

    Everybody knows
    this is nowhere.
    Everybody, everybody knows
    Everybody knows.

    Oh, Neil, I know, I know. This is nowhere, even as I am happy I'm somewhere.
