apologies for mix-up. Thompson will always be one of my favorite writers. GONZO!AOH - The Beatles wrote Ticket To Ride but the reference was to another favorite of mine....
"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten." -Hunter S. Thompson
He was reminiscing over a failed revolution.
PS - I still love the Carpenters... Just nowhere near as much my boys!!!
