You won’t find a bigger Phil Lynott fan on the planet, but I
have to say: I don’t like being rolled over or turned around, I’m not a fan of
spinning until I hit the ground, and a cowboy’s life is assuredly not for me.
Are you kidding? You have to sleep on the ground and get up
at the crack of fuck; you’re surrounded by 800-pound behemoths that urinate and
defecate all day and all of the night; you’re responsible for driving a herd of
these fucking things from Texas to Kansas City in like a fortnight; you’re
expected to know how long a fortnight is; you spend the nights of that
fortnight listening to some asshole play harmonica—no thank you!
And while I do spend a lot of time thinking about a certain
female and prefacing statements I make with the exclamation, “Lord,” I’ll tell
you what I don’t need: no coyote calls, no howling winds wailing, no getting took
in Texas, no busting broncs for the rodeo, absolutely not!
In fact, the only thing I can think of that would be worse
than being a cowboy is being a farmer. Either that, or a musician.
