A legend passes.
Lou Thesz
1916-2002
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fan of professional wrestling. I'm not sure if you are either, but this is a sad day for everyone who loves wrestling. One of the true legends of the business who helped make it what it is today has passed away today, April 28, 2002 after suffering from complications due to open heart surgery. Lou Thesz was truly one of the greats. A former NWA champion and a class act his entire life. He is best known for the Lou Thesz Press, which is one of Stone Cold Steve Austin's trademark moves.

Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
Your write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you grin about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell how you've been
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let 'em know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the road
The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin'
And they'll say they knew you well
So you tell 'em you'll remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way their faces
All begin to look the same
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the road
Well it isn't for the money
And it's only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
And you roll away the miles
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
You're right about the moon
But you're wrong about the stars
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the way
