| One ten year old was found after three weeks
|
| In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
|
| Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more
|
| 25 people died shoveling snow
|
| Have that done by somebody you hate
|
| 166 looters arrested, but wait
|
| I spent the blizzard of '78
|
| On a commune in Northern Vermont
|
| With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want
|
| Music was very much not allowed
|
| So we we said «Hey kids, let’s start a band»
|
| Proof that Ganesh loves us
|
| There was no tape deck at hand
|
| The first band I’d had was called «One and a Half»
|
| We were a duo, technically
|
| So if Tonto’s Expanding Head Band was a band
|
| So were we
|
| I spent the blizzard of '78
|
| On a commune in Northern Vermont
|
| With all the Ursula Le Guin any body could want
|
| I played guitar, Chris played tin cans
|
| Caroline played tambourine
|
| Chris was 11, Caroline 12, I 13
|
| We called ourselves «the Black Widows»
|
| We weren’t the last nor the first
|
| But we were almost certainly by far the worst
|
| We made the Cramps sound orchestral
|
| That’s an achievement, I guess
|
| As for rehearsal
|
| We made the Shaggs sound like Yes
|
| I spent the blizzard of '78
|
| On a commune in Northern Vermont
|
| With all the Roger Zelazny anybody could want
|
| It was hell |
