Making Up For Lost Time: 3 Featured "Beer Nutz" Tracks
I've been behind in my posting, so to make up for lost time I am posting tracks 3,4 and 5 at once.
Track 3 - Hoops of Steel: I thought this one was going to be about basketball, I think it may be about a magic trick instead.
Track 4 - God Silence The Gun: Good song, of course, the only way God is going silence my gun is by taking it from my cold dead hand, but, that's me.
Track 5 - Go Away Poop: What can one say about perfection? There are simply no words to describe the awesome majesty of this song, so I will make one up: "Go Away Poop" is scrumtamulent.

I thought that "God Silence the Gun" was about a guy with bad gas during church services sunday morning..."Hoops of Steel", is about some kind of S&M adult novelty C--k Ring isnt it?
"Go away poop", no explanation needed scrumptdillyishious as you said...
"Hoops of Steel" is, of course, a love song to my wife Jackie. OK guys, stop the pretend-retching I can hear you from here. I got the idea from "Hamlet" when Polonius is lecturing his son before he goes off to college: when he finds good friends, hang on to them with "hoops of steel." Ace Starry, our magician compadre, inspired the magic imagery idea.
"God Silence the Gun" you know the guy's on death row for killing his girlfriend and he wants his execution fast and painless (and quiet). It's also about maybe God could wipe out guns from the earth and none of this woulda happened. Also, maybe if he had a silencer on his gun nobody woulda heard the shot and he woulda got away with it and not been caught. Pick one or make up your own.
I wanted the irony of the juxtaposition of this song with the previous one to hit home too. I don't know if it does.
"Go Away Poop" Stalwart and I were at crowded Shane MacGowan concert at Irving Plaza in NYC. The room was filled with very rowdy drunken Irish ex-patriots. We were right up front and had been drinking Guinness and eating greasy hamburgers at various dive bars in the East Village all day.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Stalwart had a major #2 hit him hard and he was trapped.
The rest of the song simply wrote itself.
1)It was the Guinness Fleadh on Randall's Island and we had been drinking Guinness and eating greasy hamburgers right there on the premises. It was still daylight and we had many more guinnesses to drink before Shane was scheduled to be carried onto the stage.
2)It was a mild to moderate potential #2 and I believe I held it in (though perhaps I did poop in the port-a-john).
3)That day I suggested we write a song with the title and chorus "Go Away Poop!" and a few months later you had half of the song written so we sat down to finish it and I wrote 90% of the other half.
Oh yeah, it was the Guinness Fleah. Those Shane MacGowan shows all start to run together in my mind for some odd reason.
Probably the Guinness.
Here's a relevant animated music video.
