[2] THE HIT SONG
[Was he picked up by a "black mercedez benz" on the way to the great sub cult in the sky?]

BLACK MERCEDEZ BENZ lyrics...

in the cities in the highways
in the highrise or in the backrooms
in the hotels in your motels
do you know what's goin' on

in the mornin or in the evenin'
when the sun shines or when the sun sets
when the clock ticks or when the clock stops
when time just runs out on you

people fightin' and people cryin'
people tryin to get their hands on you
people dyin' of starvation
what are you gonna do?

while you're riding in a black mereedes benz
riding high in a black mercedes benz
you can't help go on in a black mercedes benz
inside a black mercedes benz

crooked rich man when you see a poor man
do the tears roll or do your eyes close
do the breaks lock or do you run him down
in your higher

be a big shot and let the shortstop
get to the top anyway you can
exploitaion no condemnation
in a nation justice you can buy

make a big deal and make some money
run down anyone who gets in the way
make your heart cold and make the cash flow
it's gonna make your day

don't you know we want some black mercedes benz
wants to buy himself a black mercedes benz
he's gonna die in a black mercedes benz
inside a black mercedes benz

death rides in a black mercedes
inside a black mercedes benz

[3] ANECDOTE/RANDOM MEMORY

90s. I was entering Araneta Coliseum to watch a concert. I heard people [tambays] shouting "THE BREED, THE BREED..." I looked around and saw no one from the band in the general vicinity. And then I realized... haha... they were probably referring to me. They thought I was Manny Amador so they shouted his band's name.
