Start my starter, gonna stop the show"- The Rolling Stones

With haughty scorn which mocked the smart,
Through Europe to the Aetolian shore
The pageant of his bleeding heart?"- Matthew Arnold

The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
And so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old"- Townes van Zandt
