Bag of Frozen Peas
The Levon Helm song from my last post reminded me of a song I had on my player earlier this year that also made me chuckle. Back in the mid 1990s, every time I came back from a run I would have to put ice packs on my knees. I did that for about a year, so any song about icing your kness is sure to get my attention.
This one is from Dirty Old Man by Neil Young on Chrome Dreams 11.
I like to get hammered
On Friday night
Sometimes I can't wait
So Monday's alright
It's a battle with the bottle
I'll win it alright
But I lost another round
In the bar last night
Got a bag of frozen peas
I use on my knees
I injured from beggin'
And tryin' to please
If you believe that
I'm losing my fat
Got a workout program
And a new rubber mat

That's a good one. The peas must have pleased your knees - remember not to eat them or you may get some disease.
My version of Oklahoma Home is also from Springsteen - Live in Dublin with the Sessions Band. My sister picked it up in the US. A top album - some great tunes - I really like Further on up the road, American land, Eyes on the prize...

Frozen pea stories ...
A friend of my sister pierced my ears for me but the day she did it we didn't have any ice cubes so she used a bag of frozen peas to numb my lobes.
A friend of mine told her kids when they were toddlers that frozen peas were lollies and they believed her. So whenever they got a treat guess what they got.
