down this dark road....and all of a sudden, we were doing about 85....and something
came shooting past us, this thing came shooting past us....it was like a red....something
all striped with red and they past us, the right rear tire blew out and we skidded
into the swamps and we all bumped our heads and the girls, they´re all
full of mud and they were screaming and yelling at us to take ´em home
and....as we looked up, we looked over and in the mud about a hundred yards
away....and we saw this thing just sitting there glowing ....sitting in the
dark, it sort of looked like....a (?) Big Mac....and uh (?) and we got out of
the car and we were walking across, across the field and we got up to it, it
was about....it was pretty big and we knocked on the outside....and (?) on the
outside it had (?) paint: ´Big Daddy Don Garlitz....Born to lose´....so
we knocked on it....and this cat stuck his head out....and he said....he was
on his way through the solar system and if we could, if we could tell him the
way to the....New Jersey Turnpike....he´d gives us each....three wishes,
yeah, one wish a piece so that sounded like a pretty good deal....and we thought
about it for a long time and.....Steve, what´d you wish for ?....oh, Steve
wished for a winner at the track, for just once, Clarence, what´d you
wish for ?...oh yeah....I can´t tell you what Clarence wished for....(?)

dollars, no.... you think that you could make us all....movie stars ?´....and
he said ´Oh, no, no, but would you settle for rock and roll ?´....”
