The Big One
A chill wind in New Orleans,
Everyone awakes with fear.
Children peek out of windows,
Old folks crack open beers.
A green light ingites the sky,
A voice thunders in our ears.
This one is the big one,
We’ve dreaded all these years.
Buy that last bottle of Chartreuse,
And stock up on deviled ham,
Or flee this threatened place,
Get the hell out while you can.
Take heed Humid City,
This could be the end,
‘Cause Loki’s turning forty,
Say your prayers my friends.

Happy birthday, old man, and welcome to the other side of the mountain.
40 is actually way more fun that 30. Us old guys, we know shit that these little 20-something rugrats have yet to learn.
Happy Birthday!!!! I did get your post comment and yes we do need to get together for a couple of drinks and storytelling. I live very close to Buffa’s and we could basically take over the back room there (it would be a good place for a birthday celebration, a couple of people trading music stories, or an impromptu geek meeting!)
And don’t expect any sympathy from me upon your turning 40. I did that so many years ago it’s a blur! Ray’s right though, 40 is WAY better than 30. Lemme phrase that differently: I’d take my 30 yr old body with my 50+ yr old mind if I could.
And hey, don’t trust anyone over 90!
Hey! I heard that 60 is the new 40, so that makes you a babe of 20, but with the knowledge and experience of someone twice that age. That’s a hard one to beat.
Happy Birthday, late as usual, but heartfelt none the less!
Happy Birthday! Are respirators the new party hat?
Adair doesn’t know what this is, Alexis looks happy and beautiful next to me, Jane is staring at me from the stairs and you’re munching on beef jerky, all while I enjoy my wine and revel in pre-Kingpin salon at Loki’s.
Happy 40th, GEOKI!
HAPPY HAPPY GEORGE GEORGE …

Happy Birthday buddy!
40, and a wedding on the horizon. What are the other stressful things? Moving? Hurricanes? Sounds like a blast…
Best wishes, and enjoy the green stuff.
Happy B’day. I’m still ahead and you’ll never catch up.
Happy Birthday belated but heartfelt
