Deck the halls

Hopefully, death is a joyful transition for those who experience it, like this person who was an inspiration to Lou Reed.



Lou Reed ~ Walk On The Wild Side


Speaking of song inspirations, am reminded that I got to (briefly) meet another song-writer's inspiration? Although, some say...



Rolling Stones ~ Brown Sugar

And also...

"When the Stones perform 'Brown Sugar' live, Jagger often changes the lyrics from, 'Just like a young girl should', to, 'Just like a young man should.' The line, 'Hear him whip the women just around midnight', is often changed to the less offensive, 'You shoulda heard him just around midnight.'"

"Or, it could have been written about actual brown sugar, but I doubt it."
