Gonna Be A Rumble Out On The Promenade

The Band (w/ Roger McGuinn): Atlantic City...8/13/94





If a Martian
(who, we'll imagine,
never dies except by accident)
came to Earth and saw this
peculiar race of creatures
--these humans who live
about seventy or eighty years,
knowing that death
is going to come
--it would look to him
like a terrible problem
of psychology to live
under those circumstances,
knowing that life
is only temporary.
Well, we humans somehow
figure out how to live
despite this problem:
we laugh, we joke, we live.
--Richard Feynman
