Led Zeppelin — Trampled Under Foot [1975]

Lyrics

Greased and slicked down fine, groovy leather trim

I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flow

Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood

Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools

A model built for comfort, really built with style

Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise

Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red

Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head.

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles

Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

Fully automatic, comes in any size

Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized

Feather-light suspension, Koni's couldn't hold

I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love.

Golden Earring — Radar Love [1973]

Lyrics

I've been drivin' all night,

My hand's wet on the wheel

There's a voice in my head

That drives my heel

It's my baby callin',

Says: I need you here

And it's a half past four

And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely

And the longing gets too much

She sends a cable

Coming in from above

Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

We've got a wave in the air,

Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song

Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"

The road has got me hypnotized

And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,

And I'm sure I've had enough

She sends her comfort,

Comin' in from above

Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

We've got a line in the sky,

Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there

Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care

Last car to pass, here I go

And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song

Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"

And the newsman sang his same song

One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough

She sends her comfort, coming in from above

We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

We've got a line in the sky

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

We've got a thing that's called,

Radar Love

AC/DC — You Shook Me All Night Long [1980]

Lyrics

She was a fast machine she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

I'm working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause it's just another course
Made a meal outta me
And come back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
Cause the walls were shaking the earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Knocked me out I said you
Shook me all night long
You had me shaking and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
When you took me

You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
You shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you shook me all night long
You really got me and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Yeah you shook me
All night long

The Doors — Light My Fire [1968]

Lyrics

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

Lyrics

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...

In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Over here baby...

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the Still of the Night...

Tell me here baby

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the Still of the Night...

Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...

Why Americans Don’t Travel Much

Travelling is one great way to learn about the world as well as about oneself. Rumi said that it brings power and love back into your life. Yet, not many people seem motivated to venture and embark on international journeys. Why is that the case? How can we not be in love with travelling? And what are the reasons for Americans specifically?

During my U.S tour in 2014, I met lots of people who actually never left, not only their states, but also their towns and counties. An 18-year-old girl from a small Illinois town nearly 45 minutes away from Chicago who has never visited Chicago. Another 24-year-old whom I briefly shared the Venice bungalow with who has never been to N.Y; it was also her first time to California. I mean, for me this is insane. International travelling, one might understand, but within your own country, and you’re in your mid-twenties already! Where is the curiosity? Where is the will to see, to know, to learn? So I began looking for answers. 

I also met few Americans who had visited all 50 states, or say, 46 at least. But those are a minority. Even fewer have made the bold move and actually decided to tour the world or live outside of the U.S, even if for a little while.

I remember a chat with a cab driver in Michigan who took me to the train station at 7 am. He was a nice black man in his 50s. When I told him about my plan to roam around the U.S, he looked at me in the rear-view mirror and said something along these lines: “Ah, I’ve always wanted to do that... but work and kids.”


In case of Americans, as I came to find out, only about 30% of the population own a passport. This number excludes passport cards, which are identification cards that only allow sea and overland entry to the U.S from Canada, Mexico, and certain parts of the Caribbean, but not the rest of the world. It is estimated that only 13% have ever travelled abroad.

Being the powerful, dominant nation America is, this may seem strange. Compared to smaller countries like Canada where 60% own passports and the United Kingdom’s 75%, it sure is a significantly low figure. It is still, however, much higher than China, where only 20 million people hold passports — a meagre 1.5% of the population.


Well, there are few factors behind this reality as highlighted in the article, Why Americans Don’t Travel Overseas, which is written by an American traveller. 


First, the sheer fact that America is a whole continent. Like Australia, you have the beaches, the forests, the deserts, and the mountains. So with such size and diversity, the common American mentality doesn’t really see a need to go elsewhere.


Second, it’s fear. Due to lack of culture and the relentless work of mainstream media, many Americans regard the rest of the “outside” world as a scary place. They are made to believe that other countries are dirty and dangerous. Especially after 9/11 and its aftermath, a large portion of Americans actually believe that other nationalities do not like them. Consequently, they feel it’s safer to stay in their comfort zone within their own territories.

This sentiment may actually be true to some degree, especially, and understandably, in places where the American military had already bombed people not-so-long ago, like Iraq and Afghanistan. Which reminds me of the Mark Twain quote, “God created war so that Americans would learn geography.” 

More quotes can be found on here, Some Soulful Travel Quotes.

Nevertheless, with the rise of the Internet, it seems that more people are becoming more conscious and aware. The younger generations specifically are maturing in the political sense. Unlike their parents’ generation, a small yet growing portion of the population had already stopped following, or even believing mainstream media. They are awakening, one could say.

Fortunately, more younger folks are interested in the world and what it has to offer. They are also starting to realise that people and governments are two very different entities. You can oppose or hate the policies of some countries all you want, even the decision makers of such policies, but what’s the rest of the population got to do with anything? To label an entire country or its citizens bad — or good — is just narrow-mindedness and a clear sign of lack of critical thinking. That’s all. When we come to think about it, we find that most people who hold that childish kind of love for their country have never left it.
 
That said, the current top destinations for American travellers remain: England (9% of all trips), France (7%), Italy (7%), Germany (5%). I guess that’s where they feel safer.

Humorous American States stereotypes by the Brits (BuzzFeed)

A third reason why Americans don’t travel abroad much is, apparently, their shrinking yearly vacation. According to this Article, in 2012 the average was 12 days, down from 14 in 2011. However, workers only used 10 days. Also, 43 million Americans don’t get paid sick-leave — that’s about one third of all American workers.

Adding to that, 68% of American vacationers admitted to checking in with the office either “regularly” or “sometimes” during their vacations, which suggests that most Americans are still prioritizing work during their time off.

On the other hand, Europeans receive between 25 and 30 days of vacation a year, and they usually use all of them. They also get family leave and their sick-leaves are paid.

So that is obviously another factor which makes travelling a pain in the butt for most Americans.

One more reason why Americans don’t travel overseas is, again, geography. Because its remote location, which obviously reflects on the money issue, flights to and from the U.S are significantly more expensive. A trip abroad is usually beyond the means of the average American. Naturally, it makes travelling not a priority for most.

This is true if we compare with Europeans who, lucky them, only need to hop on a train or a bus to visit a neighbouring country. The ease is also due to the establishment of the Schengen Area, which now comprises of 26 European nations that have abolished passport and any other type of border control at their common — internal — borders. Most of Europe today functions like the United States, as one big country with one currency. 

The problem is that many American students have to repay their college loans; thus are forced to stay home after graduation instead of travelling before they start working. As for the adults, a lot of them are bound by debts, mortgages, and taxes and simply cannot afford to travel.

However, if on the other hand we compare Americans to Canadians, Australians and Kiwis who are even further away from the rest of the world, we find that the latter travel much more. In fact, unlike Americans, those citizens are encouraged to travel and explore different countries. Perhaps because they do not bomb "brown people," as George Carlin would say, they feel more liked and/or welcomed around the world.

Also, perhaps because the sole role of the media there is not to scare the general population from the rest of the world, so here may lie another difference.

Humorous American Stereotypes by Americans

As for money, let us remember that the dollar is a major world currency. With some early, creative planning and a sense of adventure, affordable tickets to pretty much anywhere can be found. If there’s a will there’s a way. If not, our clever brains will always find excuses to convince us with. 

This Link has lots of travel offers including credit card sign-ups and points’ earning.

Besides, the American status gets you into many countries with ease; obtaining visas and other paperwork is usually a piece of cake for holders of the blue passport. Language is another advantage; as English is the second language to so many people around the world. So those are major benefits for being an American traveller.


The thing is, like colour, race and religions, nationalities gave us the illusion that we are separated from each other. When that happened, all hell broke loose. Humans started killing each others, abusing animals, and destroying Nature. This only happened because man forgot his true essence. He forgot that he is everyone else and everyone else is himself; that everything connects to everything else. The reality is, man is Nature, yet he is destroying it and exploiting its resources like there is no tomorrow ― like he has somewhere else to go to. The sad truth, though, is that not only is he destroying himself but also ruining this pale blue dot for our descendants.

But what makes travelling magical is that it destroys all such isms and schisms, It liberates you from the beliefs, bigotry, illusions, and delusions that no longer serve you. It shows you that we are all one; that essentially we are only separated by egos and fears; that we are in this together. Travel also teaches you that wherever you’re from is a tiny place compared to the rest of the world; even more so when we contemplate the matter cosmically as citizens of Planet Earth. This shows you the bigger picture while leaving you humble among other enriching characters.

A prime essence of the Human Condition lies in realising the significance of our insignificance. Being nothing and everything simultaneously then becomes the greatest poetry there is.


Travelling abroad and experiencing new cultures, languages, and people is through which the mind is opened. Nothing actually teaches us so much about life or about ourselves. The world is so vast, diverse, and full of beauties and wonders, it seems that it exists for us to explore it.

Sail away from that safe harbor. The whole fun awaits outside of your comfort zone.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”

― Mark Twain, Mark Twain: The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

The Parents Dilemma

On several occasions, younger folks write me saying that their parents are standing between them and their happiness. Well, if the parents reject all rational notions concerning You pursuing what You think is good for You, then the only way out if you don’t simply want to pack and leave is to be a “case.”

You just have to keep your focus on one direction and if they really love you — as good parents should — then they will eventually give in and support whatever decision you have taken. That’s the responsibility bit of the whole maturing process. And being a “case” is how you tame your parents, if you will.

If, however, they kick you out or cut you off, then it would still be better for you than to submit and live unhappy. For uncertainty with a chance of happiness wins over certainty with guaranteed unhappiness any day.

Unless of course if the choice is clearly bad for you, like becoming a professional hooker or something. But if you’re determined in such case then it would probably be better to pack and leave.

Without going through this experience of choice, you will remain immature. And being your parents, they will always see it in your eyes; they will always have the upper hand in that power struggle dance. I have explained before in The Parable of the Young Lion why it is vital to detach from the family, even if for some while.

The driving force behind parents opposing their children is usually out of fear and attachment — not love. Many imagine a future life for their children. But when the children chose a different path, the parents get confused, often insisting that the children pursue the life they had imagined for them. That's when the clashes begin.


So as a final word, the only way out is to stand up for what you believe in, kiddo, and follow that dream. No one other than you knows what is best for you. And remember, everything changes for the better the day you start treating your parents as human beings and not as a source of authority.

Be grateful for the life they gave you. Love and respect them, but don't lose your life trying to please them. For you will never end up happy if you did.


Be Yourself, no matter what.

BONUS:  

Little Richard’s 1955 hit single Tutti Frutti that your grandparents — and maybe also parents — may have danced to is a paean, an ode to butt-sex. The original lyrics “Tutti Frutti, good booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy” were replaced with “Tutti Frutti, aw rooty / Tutti Frutti, aw rooty.” So basically the song is a poem about slipping through the backdoor. And you’re welcome.

No grudges

Beautiful Libraries From Around the World

Up until the digital revolution a mere decade or so ago, books were ― and at times, still are ― the gateway to knowledge an. As such, they were respected and revered. Libraries were actually some of the most important structures in any city. Built with love for the precious knowledge they guard and offer to their visitors, they truly can be mesmerising. This photo series brings you a collection of the most stunning libraries from around the world, many of which were captured by German photographer Candida Höfer. In addition, there are a couple of my own photos of Bibliotheca Alexandrina taken from another 2015 photo-article, which followed my first trip to this charming and historical coastal city in 34 years!: Echoes From The Past — Alexandria in Photos.    On a parallel note, check yet another photo-article: Faith in Humanity...
