Agree! Needed more preplanning. It should read;
I can’t die
I got graves to dance on
that ain’t been dug yet

Ok. Now I see the alien. And a stick of dynamite.
ETA - It confused me because I think Pete was known to use a Big Muff Pi and I thought it had something to do with that but it was in front of the wrong guy

…and Entwistle could have been playing French horn. I love how he always tried to make his bass sound as French horn-y? Horn-esque? as poss.

True! It’s a mighty unkempt language too.

I also like to write “lissen” instead of “listen” when I’m ’bout to say somethin’ on my own social media page.
Why is it that when y’all come onto a Black woman’s page, y’all can’t just read the damn post and absorb the message? Why must you give into your intuitive desire to center yourselves as the gatekeepers of grammar? My posts are not invitations to a spelling bee!
Lissen, Kathy, the word Lissen ain’t no typo! It’s vernacular. A rhetorical choice. A signal. Y’all taught me about literary devices when we was reading damn Huckleberry Finn, weird white man shit like Equus, and the insufferable-ass Virginia Woolf and other books a Black girl had to prove she was smart. Now y’all act like I can’t mess around with linguistics? TF!
Stop showing up like unpaid copy editors when Black folks are using their voice. We don’t need your approval to be taken seriously. Just sit there and lissen.

THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOUR IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WITHIN THE STADIUM
TO REFRAIN FROM ANY RACIST LANGUAGE OR BEHAVIOUR
Umm, I’m fairly certain that, literally speaking, that sign is insisting that people must give in to their racist impulses.

Worse than that. Following the rules to the letter means that racism is compulsory all the time. Even Rangers and Airdrie fans would think that is a bit too much.

Years ago there was a restaurant around here that had a sign that said:
NO SHIRT
NO SHOES
NO A-SHIRTS
NO SERVICE
