First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

“World Keeps Spinning”
@shapeslikepeople.bsky.social

Life won’t always come easily
A merry-go-round in your head
There are times you’ll just want to throw in the towel
Don’t give up - the road is long

A vintage-style comic book illustration featuring the bold text "POWER POP!" in large yellow and red letters at the top against a blue background with radiating speed lines. The center shows a red and yellow electric guitar surrounded by white explosive clouds and yellow lightning bolts. Comic-style sound effect words are scattered throughout: "ZAP!" in red at the top left, "KAPOW!" in black, "CRUNCH!" in red at the right, and "MELODY!" in blue at the bottom right. Black musical notes float around the composition. The overall design mimics classic pop art and comic book aesthetics with bold outlines, halftone dot patterns, and dynamic action lines emanating from the center.

Hanging out with Bill at The Town-Line, a bar on the Charlestown border with Somerville. We were shooting pool. Bill walked over to the jukebox. "Hey, Danny check this out!" He pops in a quarter and points to our Charlestown CD. Murray & Sadie starts to play! Juke-Box Hero! youtu.be/yh4OHx-4TkY
