“You sit around getting older…
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders…
Come on baby the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry…
Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I’M SICK OF SITTING ‘ROUND HERE TRYING TO WRITE THIS BOOK…
I need a love reaction…
Come on baby give me just one look!
You can't start a fire, sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark…”
Excerpt from “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen
One Love.

Oh snap, Lin is back! (Like my likkle rhyme there? :-))
That's a really good song choice for John. He has a really unique voice and delivery and certain songs seem made for him, like this one. I'm sure Bruce likes it.
WELCOME BACK! Your baby is about to drop! All the toil, sweat and tears are almost over! Let's all party at your place all summer! :) How's that for a SURPRISE Party?
Seriously, it's good to have you back on blogger, my friend! Congratulations on the imminent arrival of one of your dreams!
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!
@ Val:
Thanks for the comment, Poetess Valentina. *smiles* I agree on Johnny Legs (as I call him). He's one of the more unique performers on the scene.

@ Roger:
Thanks for the welcome, Rog. I think of this as less of a comeback & more of a gradual return.
As you're aware of the dramatic back story behind the writing of this book, yes, I'm now breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. *Whew*
Enjoy your weekend, my friend.

Oooh la la, my buddy, Brother Pen, is back on the scene an, i'm elated. Waiting on that book and more posts, you know you inspire me :)!
So good to see your lovely smiling face on my page again, Sista Pen.
God willing, you should be hearing much more from (the literary side of) me soon.
SJ!

He's got a nice sound, that's for damned sure. So few artists today do what he does....actually sing and sound good doing it.
@ Reggie:
I agree. He's got classy chops & his own smooth way around a song.

So good to see you back here Lin.
Thanks very much, Wynn.
I'll be praying that you receive some Good News.

@ China:
Thanks, my friend. I've lived long enough to know that we can never take anything for granted. Our earthly plans are futile without His Allowance.
*Lin suddenly curious as to why China put 'something... anything'in quotations*
lol.

Nice music choice.... may have to steal this :)

Merci, mon aimee.
Wish I owned the rights (to Bruce's or even Johnny Legs catalogs), but since I don't... steal away. :)

That was some tasty Legend gumbo right there!
