(trecho) (...) And suddenly my whole life passed before my eyes. I saw myself as a kid again, in Kansas, going to school, swimming at the swimming hole, and fishing, frying up a mess-o-catfish, going down to the general store, getting a piece of gingham for Emmy-Lou... and I realise its not my life.

Transcrição completa nos comentários...mas OUVIR é que é o máximo :D) Down South I was down south once, and I was invited to a costume party, and I rarely go to them, I went to one when I was younger. I went in my underwear shorts, and I have varicose veins. I went as a roadmap. And I figure, what the hell, its Halloween, Ill go as a ghost. I take a sheet off the bed and I throw it over my head, and I go to the party. And you have to get the picture, Im walking down the street in a deep southern town, I have a white sheet over my head. And a car pulls up and three guys with white sheets say Get in. So I figure theres guys going to the party, as ghosts, and I get into the car, and I see were not going to the party, and I tell them. They say Well, we have to go pick up the Grand Dragon. All of a sudden it hits me, down south, white sheets, the Grand Dragon, I put two and two together. I figure theres a guy going to the party dressed as a dragon. All of a sudden a big guy enters the car, and Im sitting there between four clansmen, four big-armed men, and the doors locked, and Im petrified, Im trying to pass desperately, yknow, Im saying Yall and Grits, yknow, I must have said grits fifty times, yknow. They ask me a question, and I say Oh, grits, grits. And next to me is the leader of the cla... you can tell he is the leader, cause hes the one wearing contour sheets, yknow. And they drive me to an empty field, and I gave myself away, cause they asked for donations, and everybody there gave cash. When it came to me, I said I pledge fifty dollars. They knew immediately. They took my hood off and threw a rope around my neck, and they decided to hang me. And suddenly my whole life passed before my eyes. I saw myself as a kid again, in Kansas, going to school, swimming at the swimming hole, and fishing, frying up a mess-o-catfish, going down to the general store, getting a piece of gingham for Emmy-Lou. And I realise its not my life. Theyre gonna hang me in two minutes, the wrong life is passing before my eyes. And I spoke to them, and I was really eloquent, I said Fellas, this country cant survive, unless we love one another regardless of race, creed or colour. And they were so moved by my words, not only did they cut me down and let me go, but that night, I sold them two thousand dollars worth of Israel Bonds.
