"Highway Buddha Blues" by The FOG (original blues)

Lyrics:

Highway Buddha Blues

I met the Buddha on the highway
And I knocked him right out of his shoes
I met the Buddha on the highway
And I knocked him right out of his shoes
If he were to ease my suffering
I couldn't singing the blues

I met the profit Mohammed on the highway
I sent him out of town on the last train
I met that profit Mohammed on the highway
And I sent him out on the last train
He can keep his 72 virgins
To sing the blues, I'll be needing my pain

I met the lord Jesus on the highway
And I let that ol' boy have his way
I met Jesus H. Christ on the highway
And ya know, I let him go on his way
He was vamping on loving your neighbor
But was singing the blues by the end of the day

Pies lesu domine
Dona eis requiem
Pies lesu domine
Dona eis requiem
Those Gregorians sang the blues
And I sing it just like them

@tanglewoodtw400n Thanks for listening! I think this is my first ever keyboard solo. I put little pieces of tape on the keys that were safe blues notes for the key and then adlibed on those. Don't listen to this kids! Learn your scales.

Your sax playing on this is fantastic, so very nice. If this is the sound you get when you don't know what notes you're playing then keep on going!

People forget Cohen is a Buddhist, Coltrane sympathetic to the Prophet Muhammad's teachings and that My Sweet Lord has some Hari Krishna chanting after the Hallelujah's. They only hear and see what they want to instead of what is actually their! A Love Supreme is a very spiritual album. I enjoyed hearing the references to those great teachers here.

@CurtisMateer Thanks for listening. For a long time I have thought that the answer to religion is it is either all or none. And either way unity of all things is the truth.

@kiaweking Very well put my friend Thomas. I feel the same way when I look outside my window one way and see Lake Michigan with its ever changing colors and moods and the look out a window the other way and see the parking garage next door, the sky scrapers lining Michigan Avenue and hear the wail of sirens on their way to Northwestern Hospital 2 blocks away. Yin and Yang... yes, a state of mind. Ciao from Chicago and best wishes to you.

@archtopbrownie Hey Lance, I believe in that sort of thing. Every morning I wake up and look out my bedroom window and think to myself WOW, I'm here, this is it. Ain't no place I'd rather be. Heaven is a state of mind my friend.

Aloha from my world,

Thomas

Very true. You seem to be on the same page with the Baha'i view: “Religion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth, give birth to spirituality, and bring life and light to each heart. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred, division, it were better to be without it, . . .”

The problem I see when there isn't faith is aggressive materialistic ideologies then appear like communism or a bullish "Let's just go in and take their oil" attitude.
