This song was recorded but it got lost, and it's too bad because it's a catchy rockin' number
with a theme about record companies that is all too true.   "Let them eat cake".
(That's Marie Antoinette's famous summation of her fabulous empathy)

Snake's Eyes

Snakes eyes - peering over my shoulder
Cold, cold eyes - growing so much colder
Snakes eyes, every time I throw
Snakes eyes, no matter where I go
Old, old eyes, growing so much older
Makes me tremble, short of breath
Feel those snakes eyes freezing me to death . . .
Loser fall and the winner take all !

Snakes eyes - hide behind a human skull
Bad disguise - smelling like a dead seagull
Camouflaged in words of hype
Carrying a briefcase and a pipe . . .
Sign on the line, baby don't waste my time!

Snakes eyes - questing in the night again
Cold chills - sweat upon fevered skin
Incense in a voodoo spell
Cut you in the bargain - oh Hell !
Wager your soul, throw another quick roll !

Commentary:

This one was recorded live by Magic #2 in South Lake Tahoe at Snowshoe Thompson's and I wish you could hear it because it had some great rock and roll drumming in it (I think it was me). The song is really about the record business types and what I thought about their evil ways. By rejecting every single demo I ever submitted in my life, they drove me to create this web site. Once upon a time, it was all about the music but those days are long gone and I think they died along with the death of Led Zeppelin. With the advent of disco crap - that mechanical offense to real live musicians - it became all about money and nothing but money because there were no real musicians involved in the production of disco crap that needed to be dealt with. That's one of the reasons why the record companies jumped all over disco, and that's also one reason why they like rap and hip hop - because so much of it is purely mechanical and there are fewer musician's egos that need to be stroked constantly. All there usually is in the recording studio these days is just a computer with an operator, and a computer doesn't have an overinflated ego like I quite obviously have, don't you agree?
