Do you have Space for the Papa? LIVE in Tokyo!

[JohnBarleycorn]

So then......what do you think?

 

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you hear what Mama Said?

[torturedsole]

Have you ever thought of giving jungle/drum+bass a listen?

Last night, my entire body was covered by flying ants.

[JohnBarleycorn]

And, it was only Jeff Beck who saved me from further insanity.

 

I MISS Tokyo....the way it was back then.....!

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

It's so cold here.

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

The temperature is good and cold.

Almost 19 degrees.

And still falling.

 

If I had my wish, then I would have it snowing in my room.

[JohnBarleycorn]

So, anyway....

 

I just took a very steaming shower.

 

The pouring hot water reminded me of Japan.

 

My skin turned red, but still not scalded enough, if you know what I mean.

[JohnBarleycorn]

This reminds me...

 

If you want a good and hot bath, then...

 

Go to Japan.

[JohnBarleycorn]

If you want to take a good and hot bath...

 

1.  First, take a chicken egg and soak it in your bath water.

2. Second, crack open the egg and check the yoke.

3.  If the yoke is runny, then your bath water is not hot enough.

Who does not love Tokyo who had been there?

Tokyo is not the same these days.

So sad.

Because..... Japan culture has shifted from what it once was.

 

Maybe Japan is OK, still.

But, Japan was so much better, years ago.

 

The noodles were better, way back when.

[JohnBarleycorn]

I need another hot shower.

 

Really cold!

 

Back soon......

[JohnBarleycorn]

No matter how many hot showers I take....

 

I never get clean.

[JohnBarleycorn]

SPACE FOR THE PAPA, baby....

You better believe.

Time now for one more shower or bath, I guess.

Very cold here.

Must stay warm...

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Taking a bath with a monkey in an onsen 温泉  near Nagano, Japan is very expensive.

I have done so.

 

Taking a bath with a monkey in Thailand is not very expensive.

I have not yet done so.

Beck is amazing.

Greatest guitar in the whole wide world.

But, he doesn't talk much.

 

The only thing more amazing might be JS Bach and his Double Concertos.

I also wanted to mention:

 

Jeff Beck says THANK YOU in Japanese at the end of his Tokyo performance.

 

But, I was saddened to see that Jeff did not even take the trouble to say "thanks" in a more appropriate way.

 

He uses the short form, such a boor.

 

He should have said:   arigatou gozaima<deleted>a  ありがとうございました

Or, I suppose he could have just struck up with.....

 

 

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Ain't got time for doubts or fears
Ain't got time for shallow tears
Ain't got time to bare my soul
Because I still got a hard way to go

 

BUT, I got time for plenty of hot showers...

Showers are almost free of charge.

Love them!

Makes me feel relaxed and human, almost.

 

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

I just hope the good Lord knows....

What this life is all about...

'Cause I'm in the same position...

As when I started out!

 

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Only God knows, oh where my search will end,
'cause a freak don't have no money and a pauper has no friends,
And there ain't no use in worrying and there ain't no use in dying,
Oh, no use testifying there ain't no use in lying.

And I'm crying, and I'm crying, hey I'm crying, oh, I'm crying

[JohnBarleycorn]

But when I do remember the hopes I used to have
My face lights up and I crack a little smile
When I reach the end of my workin' life
I'll sit and say 'I wonder was it all worthwhile?'
