  • Born to be Mild

    Okay... so I found this when I was surfing this morning and thought I would share... as I found it mildly amusing...


    "BORN TO BE MILD"


    Couldn't get my motor runnin'
    Dead out on the highway!
    Shoulda bought a Venture
    Coulda saved a lot of hay!

    Ape hangers got my shoulders crackin'
    Put my back in a f*ckin' brace
    Tried to start it with a can of ether
    Explode in my face!

    Well my black leather looks wild
    But I walked, walked thirty miles
    With a price so high, I
    Can't afford to die!

    Walked thirty miles...
    Walked thirty miles....

    I paid something frightening
    Heavy metal blunder!
    Now I'm racin' for the payments
    And my credit has gone under!

    Yeah darlin' that's the belt a-snappin'
    To the world I'm a-losin' face
    Fire all your loud pipes at once and
    Explode in their face!

    Well my true nature is mild
    But I try, try to look wild
    On the kind of bike I
    Can't afford to ride...

    Walked thirty miles...
    Walked thirty miles...

      Don't think John Kay sang those lyrics:-) will pass them along to the tour manager. This is their 40th year so go see them now,it is about to end.

        so I found this when I was surfing this morning
        I'm still trying to remove the mental picture I have of this...!

          I checked their website for tour dates and I didn't see anything close to us...
          I did see they were playing a few motorcycle gatherings... think they would do a freebie for us next month? Okay, okay... it was a thought... (never hurts to beg.... I mean... ask)


          prometheus... speechless? Yeah... like THAT will happen...

              They won't play for free that is for sure but if you come up with the $ they will be there. I think they only wanna play about 25 dates this year..see what happens. I would like to see them play one more time myself,it's been four years,I need a Wolf fix
