This is Shiva depicted as Neelakant (The Blue Throated One) You will find the myth behind that powerful figure in this story.
Somehow I don’t think that Lin had these ideas in mind when she suggested the topic for today’s LBC’s weekly posts when a few of us write on the same subject.
Perhaps this is what she had in mind.
You’ll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns
You’ll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs
You’ll meet honest men and pick-pockets skilled
You’ll find that business never closes
Till somebody gets killed
If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk
Married men would have to take their beds and walk
Except one or two, who never drink booze
And the blind man on the corner
Who sings the Beale Street Blues
He said, “I’d rather be there than anyplace I know
Yes, I’d rather be here, than anyplace I know
It’s gonna take the Sergeant, for to make me go”
I’m goin’ to the river, maybe by and by
Yes, I’m goin’ to the river and there’s a reason why
Because the river’s wet and Beale Street’s done gone dry.
