Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons for Born To Run (1976)

                               Roads go ever ever on                                                           Down from the door where it began.

“It’s like Elton John getting too dressed up. I can’t get too dressed down. When I get dressed up, as you can see, I have problems.”

Song of Not Singing

Context: I am playing a bard. In our first session, our DM jokingly asked me to roll performance check almost every time we started talking to a new group of NPCS. It became a little bit of a running joke, but I got a little tired of it, so when I got home that night I prepared a little something the next time I was asked to play.

DM: So, does Dawel [the bard] want to play us some traveling music?

Me: No actually. In fact, she sings this: *pulls out paper and sings*

 Why yes I am a musician

and I’m asked to play a lot,

It happens quite so often

that I had a think and thought;

“I’ll compose a little diddy

for when it’s not the place nor time”

But for now I hope you’re satisfied

with this little tune in rhyme.

Bruce Springsteen

(via themanly)

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day!

“Your mother smelt of hamsters and your father was an elderberry!”
