Dealer in Everything
Mr. Henry Fate, dealer in utensils and pots and pans, liniments and potions. A fanciful little man in a black frock coat who can help a man climbing out of a pit—or another man from falling into one.

In the misty silvered night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
New life weaves its way out through the coil
Nothing’s going to hold this movement down

So little time
Try to understand that
I'm Tryin' to make a move just to stay in the game,
I'm Tryin' to stay awake and remember my name,
but
Everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

I set out one night
When the tide was low
There were signs in the sky
But I did not know
I'd be caught in the grip
Of the undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go
With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl
Leonard Cohen

On February 2, 1959, Buddy Holly performed his last show. At 1:00 a.m. the next morning, his plane tragically crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa. The last known photo shows him with Waylon Jennings, 1.5 hours before the crash.
His final song: Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man."

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
-Peter Gabriel
