Like I said, everything you read on the internet is 100% true. That’s why Al inventned the thing.

I’ll never be able to listen to this song the same way again!

I can personally vouch for the fact that Rich was smoking…nothing. His “Candy Mountain Run” story was the product of a wonderful imagination. I’ve known him for a long time and am familiar with such tales (ALL of them true). There was one about a penguin that is utterly unforgettable 😯 .
BTW, any word on Bruuuce resurrecting the career of Sheena Easton? Even at 47 she’d look great on a poster.

I, too, am familiar with the excretions of Rich’s brain, although I would not profess to know the workings of it.
At all.
Which is why I invited him to post on here!

In my dfnese, though… you have to admit that it’s really easy to get those pesky little flightless waterfowl confused with a midget nun. I’m sorry, PC tells me that I should say “dwarf nun.”

Candi is dandy, but…. oh, I’ll get in a LOT of trouble if I finish that… nebbermine.
I look forward to your dream explanation. It’s always fun to have someone I can go toe-to-toe with

David, awesome interpretation…
Am I just too simplistic here, or did BH just write a song to compete with the immortal Big Rock Candy Mtn?
Perhaps trading the “streams of alcohol” for the pop-psychology of today: “Used to be a mouse, now I can roar…”(And, not to mention, a great opportunity to show off the two-handed independence?)
I think such verses like “all the little children, hands up high…waiting for the sugar plum falling from the sky” possess great irony: like in Willie Wonka, all the greedy got their just reward.
Is this a play on today’s “entitlement” mentality? Mama Government will fix everything, like a big sugar plum fairy…?
Ok, gotta go to bed now….Ya’ll write back now, ya hear?

Lake Lanier, GAPS Documentary finished. Back to reality today.
David Day wrote:For all you people in the rest of the world, Rich is talking about Al Gore who ran for president against W Bush. In a speech one time, Al stated that he had invented the internet.Actually, he never really quite said that he invented it, kinda sorta. However, initiatives he undertook and legislation that he authored or sponsored to help kick start the creation of a high-speed telecommunications network that was a pivotal part in helping to lay the foundation for what we now know as the internet in its’ current form. Unfortunately, it also made possible outfits like Global Crossing, a company that layed down a heck of a lot of fiber-optic cable but also bilked millions of people out of their money.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_controversies#Internet
I think what killed Global Crossing was the expense that it incurred in trying to drag fiber to a certain elevated and remote part of the world. That strand of cable was known as (oh, you’re all going to hate me now, but I had to attempt to bring this back on-topic) the Candy Mountain run.

You know, I’m just a lover for my wife” – J. MollandIt’s time to fulfill my end of the deal. I appreciate Rich’s response! It think it is hilarious! 😆 What creativity!
To bring in Atlanta, my hometown, and running, one of my passions, took a lot of thought! I must admit when I first read it, and then Allisa’s response, it was a gut busting, laughing moment! 😆I’m no match for Rich’s rhetoric or creativity, but what I’m about to reveal was a dream! I still can’t believe I had it. Don’t know why I did. Maybe it is “brain damage” afterall! 😆
One night when I was in a very deep slumber, I awoke and and leaned up in bed. I still don’t know if it was a dream, a vision or some form of “out of body experience”. 😆 Something inside told me that a special was coming on TV and I should go and turn TV on.
Now, that is rather stange to me. I don’t watch that much TV. I will watch CNBC (business news), the Weather Channel or college football, but that’s about it. I don’t watch much TV!
I somehow made it downstairs and turned on the TV and my surrond sound system. The TV came on and before my eyes and ears was a Peanuts Cartoon special. Before I knew it, a Schroder scene came on. But, it was not Schroder playing piano, it was Bruce!
I jumped up, cranked up the stereo and couldn’t believe what I was hearing!
You gussed it! Candy Mountain Run! In fact, it was the longest verision I ever heard! At the end of the song, I jumped up, clapping yelling Bruuuuce!
At that moment, I awoke from my deep slumber with a big smile on my face singing……..Forget about tomorrow live for today
No guarantee I’ll make it anyway
My special candy tastes good now
Every day I die a little, a little anyhow……..Now you know why I can’t get it off my mind!

It really is! 😆
There is one thing missing that I did not reveal. Back when Si had Bobby appreciation day, I mentioned my dream could also fit into that.
When I cranked up the stereo and realized it was Candy Mountain Run, it was with the Noisemakers! I remember that Doug cranked out a guitar solo that sounded like Eric at first, but then faded into a riff of his own. I remember thinking that this was the best I’ve ever have heard Doug play!
It just doesn’t get better than this! But then, I realized that I could not see Doug or any of the Noisemakers except for Bobby. Bobby was standing where he normally does behind Bruce (Schroeder) playing piano! I could tell at the end of the song where Bobby does the thing he does best, that by Bruce’s face (Schroeder), they really hit a sweet spot that was incredible! I would love to hear that again!
Now you really know why I can’t get it off my mind!

I did think that also! I must of had the solo shows on my mind when I had that dream. Bruce did play Candy Mountain Run! Sort of scary, isn’t it? 😮

Which angle should I use? A connection to the innocence and simplicity of childhood themes, yet another advancement in the human condition by a creative mind, latent Cold War-era fears of nuclear warfare, idiopathic schizophrenia, bad tuna, mushroom flashback, or something else? The whole pallette seems available at this time. 😆
