Thats pretty cool. It's too bad that it will never take off with anyone really. It's going to be too expensive for the average consumer, and we make way to much money as it is off oil. There's not going to be a market change.

damn life sucks haha

I thought of the band too, I thought they were going on tour again, or someone died, or something.

I was constantly passing up this topic and was finally like, 'Okay, who keeps talking about that queer hair band.'

And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you"

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner

Oh, say now mister, can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" - uh!

And the sign says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", ohhh

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Ok, so Tesla didn't write it, but noone on this board (cept maybe me and grambo) knows it.

(Five Man Electrical Band for those of you wondering... put Google away now.)

But I bet you started reading it and began to sing it in your head, than shook it off and got mad at me

Signs, signs, everywhere...

In the words of Bon Scott,

Well you ask me 'bout the clothes I wear...
And you ask me why I grow my hair....

All you gotta do is plug me into high....
I said high....

High voltage rock 'n' roll
