captain_philI was going to go with "Mississippi Halfstep" this morning, but while looking thru the website's listing of lyrics I found this
Might As Well
Great North Special, would you all board
You can't find a ride like that no more,
The night the chariot swung down low
Ninety-nine children had a chance to go.
One long party from front to end
Tune to the whistle going round the bend,
No great hurry, what do you say?
Might as well to be every way.
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well.
Ragtime slowly for twenty-five miles
Then switch over to the cajun style
Bar car blowing rhythm and blues,
Rock 'n' roll wailing in the old caboose.
Long train running from coast to coast
Bringing home a party when you need it the most
Work on the box car, beat on the bell
Nothing else shaking so you might just as well.
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well.
Never had such a good time in my life before
I'd like to have it one time more
Whoa! One good ride from start to end,
I'd like to take that ride again, again!
Ran out of track and I caught the plane
Back in the county with the blues again
Great North Special been on my mind
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well,
Might as well, might as well, might as well.
and today's horriblescope is different from other
There's a distinct possibility you'll feel a bit worried today, PHILLIP. You're the go-getter nothing and no one can stop, but you'll be rowing against the current in spite of your courageous efforts to make some headway. And although you usually prefer to rely on yourself alone, today you'll be willing to admit that a little helping hand would be quite welcome, if only for the moral support it would give you!

sharkbait passed this on via email, well it's from Emule, but I read email from her first. A list of Govt Mule quotes, behind cut for those who don't think they can handle words of wisdom from the late great Douglas Allen Woody,
"Those Are Some Big Guns You
Got There" looking at Woody's Stacks said Gregg Allman
"You Gotta Have Big Guns,
If You're Goin' After Big Game"..
.....answered Allen Woody
"If You Don't Like Zappa,
Then Get The Fuck Out !"...... Allen Woody
"Did You See The Froze In The
Headlights Look On The Faces
Of Those Phish Phans ?".............A. Woody
"We're warming up right now.
We'll burn your asses up in a minute
if you just give us a second!"
......... Douglas Allen Woody.........

"Haynes why don't you just tune up during the song like the Dead do"
..........Allen Woody
"I plead weird myself, in fact
I rather pride myself on it!"- DAW 5/1/99
"It's too loud? Too fuckin' bad"
- Allen Woody 4/4/96
"Just stand right there.
We'll rock the shit out of ya."
Douglas Allen Woody...
"We're a slow, hard-working, non-glorious animal."
...................................... - Warren Haynes
"All you need to be a good bass player is
a bass that you like, a ridiculous amp and
your little bag of stuff.
Make sure your's is legal, mine is."....Allen Woody
"Look At Him Folks............
Dangerous, Ain't It ?".........Allen Woody
About Matt Abts.....9/25/96 at Ziggy's

fender bass they'll change thier tune"'.............Allen Woody
"We're Gonna Kick Some
Twirlin' Hippie Ass!"...........Allen Woody
"We Put The Mule To It"...........Douglas Allen Woody
"If it's worth playing.....
It's worth playing loud".....W.Haynes
"So, uh... are we kicking the shit out of you?...... Are you assholes
dead?... or do you want us to play?..... Cool...."
"Man, Woody wrote some Hand-Crankin' Bass parts,
Didn't he ? ".........Dave Schools........
5/3/03 Saenger, New Orleans
Thank ya very much folks,
and welcome to Gov't Mule.
Its not an event, its a state of mind.
.........Warren Haynes 01/06/1996
"Man, Woody wrote some Hand-Crankin' Bass parts,
Didn't he ? ".........Dave Schools........
5/3/03 Saenger, New Orleans
"I'm tired, but I'm ready to rock
fiercely...I can rock when I'm tired, sure...with a
vengeance"..........
"Warren Haynes" 12/14/95
"Does anybody want to hear a little country?...... Fuck ya, cause
we're
gonna play some more rock n roll"
Allen Woody 5-12-95 (Ziggy's)
"Are you with us so far?"
........Warren Haynes...10/10/03
"Rebirth Of The Mule Tour"
Let us hear ya, ya know?
If not then, fuck ya we're leavin'
... Allen Woody 05-11-1995
"The Magic Is Back.....And How Much
Longer It Will Go On,
I just Don't Know".....Butch Trucks 2003
Kinda cool ain't it, just kinda come out to a
field and play some rock 'n roll. Change guitars,
fuck around a little ya know...
...Allen Woody 05.09.98
"The threashold of pain is 117dB.....
We play at 124."......
.................................Allen Woody
"If you want us to play, you better act like it"!
..........................DAW
on 3/8/97 At World Mardi Gras in Indianapolis - which is a multi-club
format on the top floor of the Circle Center Mall downtown Woody
said
this after Warren introduced an encore (World Gone Wild, I think):
"Were gonna play it to drown out the Disco shit next door!"
"That pretty much does it for the easy listening portion of our
show............now we're going to rock your monkey asses!"
------------------------------------------------------DAW
"This ain't no Barry Manilow shit"
DAW....at The Cotton Club, Atlanta
Beer Spill: "Not Only Did You Get It On My Chicks..........
...................... You Got It On My GUITAR !...."....DAW
..........As Warren Is Yelling..."Don't Let Wood Get Arrested !
".........
my favorite isn't on the list, I loved the one where Warren was introducing the band as "Allen Fuckin Woody on Bass, Matt Fuckin Abts on drums", Woody chimed in with "An that's Warren Dangit Haynes, Lead Guitar Lead Vocals", although the "Threshold of Pain" quote and the "Froze in the Headlights look" ones are both classic.
I'm about out of time this morning... MTC this evening
