Conversation with the Devil (excerpt) ~the best damn song Ray Wylie Hubbard ever wrote from Crusades of the Restless Knights [finding himself in Hell and talkin to the Devil] "Everybody's down here, I said, who's up in heaven with God and the son? "Oh some saints and mystics and students of Metaphysics 101 People who care and share and love and try to do what's right Beautiful old souls who read little stories to their babies every night What you won't find up in heaven are Christian Coalition right wing conservatives Country program directors and Nashville record executives." Now I said "I made some mistakes but I'm not as bad as those guys How can God do this to me can't you sympathize?" He said, "You're wrong about God being cruel and mean God is the most loving thing that's never been seen." I said "Well, hot shot, tell me this, which religion is the truest?" "They're all about the same" he said "Buddha was not a Christian, but Jesus would have made a good Buddhist." ~.~ The whole album will make you forget he wrote Up Against Wall Red Neck Mother "Some of 'em act like crows when they find a dying snake Even crows act like eagles when they find a dyin' snake" -song called Crows The phrase about crows either came from a talk by the Dalai Lama on compassion or I heard my grandfather mutter this under his breath when grandmother found a pint of whiskey under the floorboard of his pickup truck when I was a child ~Ray Wiley
