about
Columbia, South Carolina won the "All-American City" award not once but twice (1951 and '64), and the Chamber of Commerce was very proud... We started the first GI coffeehouse, the UFO, on Main St. in the fall of '67. It was integrated —not just black and white, but soldiers from Fort Jackson and students from the University of South Carolina.
lyrics
Caroiina Twilight
This once took place down in the south
In the spring of ‘68
in a twice All-American city
in the Palmetto state
don't ask what I was doing there
it'd take a long time to explain
but this evening I was walking towards
the Capitol on Main
Dusk was dawning pleasantly
as I sallied forth
with honeysuckle in the air
like you don't get up north
When a pretty girl comes up to me
and stands right in my way
she says You are a Scorpio, right?
When is your birthday?
I said the Eve of Halloween
which proved that she was right
her smile was like the temperature
her eyes were like the light
she said her name was Debbie
and her age was but 16
I asked her how she made me
sight unseen
Scorpio, Oh, Scorpio
She lilting laughed out loud
something about vibrations
and colors in a cloud
I said I don’t believe in Astrology
in Heaven or in Hell
She said yup a triple Scorpio
well well well
That hippie chick seen through me
like Owens Corning glass
and I can still see her walkin' away
faded blue jeans round her past
Didn't know how to call her back
I didn't have a line
We might have been compatible
I should have asked her sign.
