I’m listening to the Black Sabbath sing about their Sweet Leaf. Dont you just love Bill Ward’s timing on the drums? He’s seriously an amazing dope. And the way Bill and Geezer (Butler on bass) coordinated together I guess thats what created the magic in Sabbath’s music. A lot of people love Sabbath only for Tony and/or Ozzy. But I love em for Bill and Geezer. So there you go, I’m crazy! Tho I am not implying I dont like the other 2.

Anyway I have always wondered what state of a mind someone might be in, when he can weave such awesome words around marijuana. “I love you! Oh you know it.”

My life was empty, forever on a down

Until you took me, showed me around

My life is free now, my life is clear

I love you sweet leaf, though you can’t hear

Pretty cool eh? I love the way bands from the late 60s and 70s used to describe their state of mind and life thru their songs. The songs were all so autobiographical.

Another Sabbath song that I absolutely love is Fairies Wear Boots. Firstly I love the title of the song. It’s kinda funny. They say the fairies here is a reference to the skinheads of UK during that era when it wasn’t used as a term to define the racists. Skinheads were real troublemaker punks and they used to wear boots all the time I suppose, thats what the song says atleast.

Goin’ home, late last night

Suddenly I got a fright

Yeah I looked through a window and surprised what I saw

A fairy with boots and dancin’ with a dwarf…

It doesn’t have a lot of words, but what’s so special about the song is the opening instrumental to it. The specific part is also known as Jack The Stripper… Dunno what it signifies tho. But in here again you would get to hear the awesome coordination of Bill and Geezer that I was talking about earlier. But the best part is obviously Tony’s lead guitar parts. It has that psychedelic feel to it, if you kno what I mean.

Anyway I just realised that I don’t have my Black Sabbath songs in this puter… Ima go and dig out the CD, and after that I gotta hit the sack I guess. See ya all laterer.

Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me

Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies

Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me

I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes,

Adios!!

P.S. –> Oh while I am talking about drums, I wanted to to post the pictures of the Robin’s drum kit which she’s finally sent me.

This one is the new drum kit that crazy floydhead Robin got a couple of months ago. It’s a goddam Pearl man. Damn!! It’s the same when it comes to drums like a Fender Precision Jazz Bass is to the bass guitars. When would I get that? … Oh and that’s Kristen’s hand intercepting the view. lol!! Not really she’s just goofin around I guess. Kristen is Robin’s daughter who turned 15 this Saturday. Wish her a happy b’day guys!

And finally, in the above picture you see the autograph of the one and only Floyd drummer, the great Nick Mason, and his version of a floyd art work. Pretty cool eh? Robin got that done when Nick came to her town for his book signing a few months back.

Ok now I’m finally goin I guess. Too lazy to dig for the Sabbath songs so Ima surf a bit more and hit the sack.
