It returns!
Thanks Sirius Radio and the Jam! station which was playing a classic Phish show from 1988, the first year I saw and fell in love with what I will always believe was the greatest bar band ever.
Sure they were a bit of a hippy band, but it was as disgusting as when they started breaking big post Horde, post Spin Doctors, post Dead. At that time, like Widespread Panic, it was just a good mix of folks rocking out.
Sirius was playing Col. Forbin’s Ascent - from the epic Gamehendge - but with the Vols crushing Ohio State right now I’m feeling a bit funky and that requires a song which would make the chili peppers proud
Llama
[Many years after the overthrow of Wilson, a rebel soldier crouching
high on a hilltop above the war torn forests of Gamehendge spots a
group of loyalists approaching from their lakeside encampment below.
His trusty llama stands beside him, loaded down with a canvas pack
that holds two large bazooka type guns to the animal’s sides. Near the
man sits a cache of blastoplast, each capable of destroying the entire
hillside in an instant…]
Sunrise over the turquoise mountains
Messenger birds in sight
They came up through the valley
Both sides at a time
Through the cold steady rain
Raid!
I bend down
Poke a double decker on a llama
Taboot
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Trigger a blastoplast, ramshackle laker recedes
I start to run
It was the loudest thing I’d ever heard
And I knew my time had come
To enter the delta
