All hail the American night!

What was that?
I don't know
Sounds like guns...thunder.

(Roadhouse Blues cuts in here with Jim doing a little audience participation section at the end.)

...Alright! Alright! Alright!
Hey, listen! Listen! Listen, man! listen, man!
I don't know how many you people believe in astrology...

Yeah, that's right...that's right, baby, I...I am a
Sagittarius
The most philosophical of all the signs
But anyway, I don't believe in it
I think it's a bunch of bullshit, myself
But I tell you this, man, I tell you this
I don't know what's gonna happen, man, but I wanna have
my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames
Alright!

    General Comment:THe most phantastic thing about this song it that of some woman agreeing with Jim in everything.

    "...believe in astrology" - I do

    "I am a Sagittarius myself" - Me too


    "But anyway, I don't believe in it!" - Me neither









    Absolutely fantastic, his power!

    General Comment:ah. hearing the sound of the doors performing live is like heaven to me. the bass line and the organ are so heavy just like any concert. I love listening to this song, and just letting my imagination run, i wish i could have been there, at a live show.

    General Comment:I think this song is just about having a good time in life and not worrying so much about what comes after.
