Warren Zevon.
What triggered this momentary musical interlude (while i'm fixing broken sh!t) was nucleated when "I was in the house when the house burned down" came on the Pandora Stream i was listening to. I've always liked that song. So i go diggin. can't find that on utoob.
a whole bunch of good stuff... esp the Letterman interview/song
Of course the ubiquitous Lawyers Guns and Money...
And a video with our Hero Hunter S Thompson and Warren Z
Lots of stuff out there... guy was a kick ass song writer.
This now just reminded me as i was getting ready to write "now back to stirring cross crap up" that one marked difference to my pre-race ritual is the lack of Tunes.
Last year i would plug in and listen to Black Sabbath "Iron Man" on loop or "War Pigs"
War Pigs starts getting good right at 1 minutes, in terms of warm up pace...
And sitting here listening to it again i'm wondering if it would help to add it back in. Heck all the cool kids (Ctodd) use an MP3 device to get pumped up before racing... some folks have it tucked in the jacket pocket and hand off the player and the jacket and the bottle at the start line...
Iron Man is good, using the mantra "I AM IRON MAN" certainly is a good way to channel the suffering into power and not into pain...
Hmm. Well it's on to some TMMB "Simmer Down"

Dude, you should have gone to the BOB winter party at the Oriental Garden. Duano and me rocked the house with Lawyers, Guns, and Money karaoke. Just last month at A-man's BBQ we did I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.
Both paled next to our 2006 duets of Folsom Prison Blues and One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer at 1 am. We may not win too many races, but we have fun.
i'll only get up and do Crap E Oh Kay
to Mustard Plug's Thigh High Nylons song...
i don't know much, but i do know that pop-up tent + headphones + trainer = pro
want to split the cost of a tent with me? :)
You sure about not going to Farmington? Even if I pick you up and drop you off? Not in time for the 9 am race, but it's still a great offer.
Yeah, sure about it. Nice offer tho...
but now they're talking cold and rainy... with big off camber no less. Sounds like willicross to me.
it does - and i love cold, wet, slippery...
any time traction is an issue, mentally i feel better, find i can make myself suffer more...
but...
sometimes life gets in the way of bike racing...
