Hehe give em hell goclimb!

Of course the Land Barons object to commoners crossing their land. Thus it has always been in the House of Lords.

I remember the Woodstock cover of Life Magazine when it was issued OK?

When I was in the 6th grade, I remember listening to a song on the radio with my mom as we drove through Burns Tennessee in her red F100 pickup truck. I was singing along with it. It had been a popular tune for some time and it was damn sure reflective of the times (1972ish).

Anyway.... that song, it stuck in my head. I liked it way back in 19 seventy fucking two. After it was over I told my mom I loved that song because I agreed with the lyrics.

My Mom, a lefty to the core, to the CORE, did not agree with me. At all. "People have a right to private property you know." I was disappointed in her frankly. She let me and Woodie down that day. But I got over it - she's WAY MORE LEFT than me anyway haha.

I told my Dad about California county high pointing. In our discussion I told him that some of the summits were on restricted private property.

"So what, you just don't do those or do the highest legal point, right?" Was his logical Great Generation question.

"No Pop, I just hop the fence and climb the mountain. I'll do it at night if I must." I grinned openly.

My Pop just shook his head in resignation. He done larnt a long time ago his 2nd son wasn't wired in any way he really understood. He didn't even bother with the lecture.

Yeah so anyway thayt song! It stuck in my head and I never forgot it. So when Tesla some 30 years later covered it a whole new generation became familiar with Signs:

And the sign says "long hair freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you"

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house, Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence And keep me out Or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here He'd tell it to your face Man You're some kind of sinner


Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Oh Say now mister Can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch No You can't eat You ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh

And the sign says "Everybody welcome Come in Kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said Thank you Lord for thinking about me I'm alive and doing fine

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign


I am unrepentant goddamnit! Catch me if you can.
