"Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.... "

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face, O Lord,
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

They'll jump you up and down.
They'll carry you all around and 'round.
Just as soon as your back is turned,
they'll be tryin' to cut you down.
But just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face...

Your mother, she'll talk about you.
Your brothers and your sisters, too.
Yes, don't care how you're trying to live,
They'll talk about you still.
But just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face....

Amen, brother, and, hey Jack White, I totally dig why this is your favorite song and how it inspires you. .. "Dimeatap & spinal tap, a-city maps & hand claps." ..

Holy Alibi

"Where is that?"
I'm not sure
But I'll take you
Down the road
I heard there's
A midnite buying
Seats for the dawn
The sun king's in
A claw foot tub
Then a breakfast
Alone to be NEWS
"Are you sure the
Fire hall is by the
Train tracks?" Yes.
Smokestacks, and
Train tracks, rivers
And a chalk sky on
A clean slate; quivers.
Easter's this Sunday.

Sarah Palin 'Today' Show Appearance: Matt Lauer Asks If She's Reading Newspapers To Prepare (VIDEO)

Sarah Palin called into the "Today" show on Monday to preview her Tuesday co-hosting appearance. The conversation was mostly pleasant, but Matt Lauer managed to get in a dig at Palin's notorious interview with Katie Couric.

It was a busy morning on "Today" as former host Meredith Vieira alsoreturned to the broadcast to make an announcement.

The NBC morning show announced that Palin will guest host the 8:00 a.m. hour after news broke that former "Today" host Katie Couric was filling in over at ABC rival "Good Morning America" for the week. The news of Palin's appearing up against her arch-nemesis was so big that it got the full front page of the New York Daily News.

"How nervous should you all be?" Palin joked, referring to her guest-hosting the program. "What are you doing to prepare?" Lauer asked. "Are you reading some newspapers?"

"Ohhh," Palin said, sounding jokingly insulted. "Here we go."

Lauer was referring to one of the more infamous moments from the Couric chat, where Palin couldn't name a specific newspaper she read.

"There are a few things you should know," Vieira said to Palin. "Matt will deface your property...and if Al asks to show you his neck of the woods, run."

Palin laughed and said that she appreciated "NBC's boldness for having [her] on." She said, "I think it reflects the diversity of opinions and I heard that you all espoused so I appreciate it." Palin will also participate on the "Today's Professionals" segment along with Dr. Nancy Snyderman.
