Analysis of Rick and the Dead



Bush family eclipses Kennedy family.
Earth … a real meat grinder.
Energy … ability to do work.
Homer Odessey … life is hard and you get used.
Arlo Guthrie … it all ended in a bad dream.
Denise … over my dead body.
Abe Lincoln … America, the last chance for this world.
More Arlo Guthrie … this planet has the disappearing blues.
Let’s see again.
