The Saints History

The Drags - I Like To Die

Well there's lots of ways to go, what's the most appealin' - I could tie a rope around my neck and hang from the ceilin' - I could take a bunch of pills til' i'm really gone - I could take a bath with the radio on I could take a gun, shoot out the back of my head - I cold light a cigarette and take it to bed - Yeah that cig in the bed thing sounds pretty good - But i don't wanna burn down the whole damn neighborhood - I like to die - But i gotta know - What's the best - The best way to go - I could hold my breath until my face turns blue - But there's gotta be something easier to do - What if i start feelin' weird and can't keep with it - There's gotta be a better way to punch my ticket - I could jump into the water and tie a rock to my feet - But i'd have to wait a half an hour til after i eat - Cus what if i cramp up and then start to drown - Then i figure out there's another way around

Bill Graham

"Graham fought with the light show union. He fought with the Greatful Dead. He brought Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and B.B. King to white audiences and treated them the way no white man ever had. He managed the Jefferson Airplane. He stopped managing them, and fought with them. He fought with the Hells Angels, finally refusing them admission to his shows after a long and continuing series of incidents. For this he received the first of seven bullets, indicating he was a marked man. He began a record label for San Francisco-based talent and gave Lenny Bruce work in his last, sick, crazy, paranoid days. He fought with the Motherfuckers, New Yorks tough Lower East Side street gang. For his troubles, he was beaten with a chain outside the front door of the Fillmore East. He gave a lot of people a lot of music and made a lot of money. Finally he closed both Fillmores, allowed himself to be subject of a not-so-documentary documentary about it, and retired. Then he bought Winterland and went on promoting more shows than ever before."
