"All Along The Watchtower"

There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth

None of them along the line know what any of it is worth

No reason to get excited, the thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Steve Allen: This Could Be The Start Of Something Big

in ,

A Facebook friend posted the "See the USA" Dinah Shore Chevrolet commercial today, and made me think of this amazing video from 1958.

If you're not familiar with him, Steve Allen invented late-night television, and was a major influence on generations of comedians. He also wrote this song, adapted here as a promotion for his network. You should Google him sometime.
