“Go Inside The Black Tube”
February 15th, 2009
I’ve been given another impossible work deadline and I’ve been working 16 hour days the last week, even this weekend, so that’s why I haven’t been around much lately. But I thought that as I’m listening to my music on shuffle to try and ease some of the dreariness of my life, I’d share some of my favorite morbid songs as they come up. First off, one of my favorite songs about suicide – “Land” from Patti Smith’s incredible 1975 debut album Horses. If you’ve never heard the song before, listen to it alone with headphones on and the lights out, concentrate on the words, then tell me if the song doesn’t absolutely floor you.
patty is a genius. I saw her once at the Palladium in NYC in 1979 or 1980.(cant remember now, getting old sucks, it all runs together).
WOW!!!
I forgot about that!
I got that album when it first came out!!
The LP is in my closet somewhere…
1975? Dang, I’m old!!!
