[red dog 1]

10. Is that from an actual song?

(I hope it is)

[LastDemocratInSC]

11. It's not from a real song.

It's a mondegreen which is a series of words that result from the mishearing or misinterpretation of a statement or song lyric. Here are some examples:

“Don’t go ’round tonight. It’s bound to take your life. There’s a bathroom on the right.”

"If you like bean enchiladas..."

"Hit me with your pet shark..."

"Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul..."

The one I mentioned about "the girl with colitis goes by" is from the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

I remember seeing Santana for the first time in Mission Dolores Park, just across the street from Mission High School; the high school Carlos Went to.....They played near the bleachers, (where the Mission High School football team played), and there were probably only about 150 people there.
(Greg Rollie went to Cubberley High School in Palo Alto)

[Harker]

43. Nice, Red!

I missed seeing Santana, but I did catch Journey before Steve Perry was brought in (and a couple times after.)

"Look Into the Future" is still my favorite Journey record.

53. I recall back in the 70s

A Saturday Night, Fayetteville Arkansas, alcohol involved. A friend had his guitar and I started singing A Texas Love Song entertaining the hippies and the commies. Did I mention alcohol was involved? My act was warmly received. Elton would have approved.

I still crank up Elton often. Have all of his Old Stuff.

56. Lyrics

As a little girl I came down to the water
With a little stone in my hand
It would shimmer and sing
And we knew everything
As a little girl I came down

Every now and then
I can see that I'm getting somewhere
Where I have to go is so deep
I was angry back then and you
know I still am
I have lost too much sleep
But I'm gonna find it
