LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Carlos Castaneda said that this song dealt with the true art of dreaming, rather than dreaming scarcity, or taking advantage of others, on any levels. He said it was song to inspire being impeccable, rather than looking impeccable.
We chose to perform this in these times of "economic crisis" as an opportunity for really learning to roll with the punches--which is the warrior-traveler's stance.

Here are lyrics of this version of the song, with some of the commentaries that Carlos Castaneda gave about them:

Hey everybody, let’s have some fun!
You only live but once and when you’re dead you’re done,

--Or, according to seers, you only have this one time to dream in this specific form, in this lifetime;

So let the good times roll!
Let the good times roll!
It don’t matter if you’re young or old,
Get together and let the good times roll!

--That’s the shamans’ mood of controlled folly! In order for any living or social system to be healthy and vital, there needs to be circulation, movement—of air, blood, energy, sap, water, currency.

Don’t sit there mumblin,’ talkin’ trash

-- You can’t be judging, gossiping or complaining and dreaming at the same time. If you want to dream, and enhance your awareness, then you need to be aware of how you use this gift of language, the product of millions of years of evolution. Words have great power, we can use language to dream new ways of living and being, new worlds.

If you wanna have a ball
You gotta spend some cash

--You’ve got to stand by your word.

And let the good times roll
Let the good times roll!
We don’t care if you’re young or old
Get together and let the good times roll!

Hey everybody!
We’re back in town!
Got a dollar and a quarter just rarin’ to clown
Don’t let nobody
Play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I’m gonna keep so
Let the good times roll!
Let the good times roll!
We don’t care if you’re young or old!
Get together and let the good times roll!

--Carlos Castaneda enjoyed the rhythmic variation of this third verse. And he said that impeccability includes not playing yourself, or others, cheap—and also being willing to have a ball and play the fool!

No matter whether
Rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together

--If we are going to evolve, we need to support ourselves and each other: our teammates and families…

So get yourself
Under control!
Go out and get together
And let the good times roll!
Let the good times roll!

--The mood of dreaming is rolling with laughter and joy!
