It may have been Camelot for Jack and JacquelineBut on the Che Guevara highway filling up with gasolineFidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's cryingOver luxury's disappointment so he walks over and he's tryingTo sympathise with her, but he thinks that he should warn herThat the Third World is just around the corner

In the Soviet Union, a scientist is blindedBy the resumption of nuclear testing and he is remindedThat Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fellAt the first hurdle

In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hearIs the sound of someone stacking chairs and mopping up spilt beerAnd someone asking questions and basking in the lightOf the 15 fame-filled minutes of the fanzine writer

Mixing pop and politics, he asks me, what the use is?I offer him embarrassment and my usual excusesWhile looking down the corridor out to where the van is waitingI'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards

Jumbo sales are organised and pamphlets have been postedEven after closing time there's still parties to be hostedYou can be active with the activists or sleep in with the sleepersWhile you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

One leap forward, two leaps backWill politics get me the sack?Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

Well, here comes the future and you can't run from itIf you've got a blacklist I want to be on itWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

It's a mighty long way down rock 'n rollFrom Top of the Pops to drawing the doleWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

If no one seems to understandYou, start your own revolution and cut out the middlemanWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tuneBut this is reality so give me some roomWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

So join the struggle while you mayThe Revolution is just a T-shirt awayWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

Waiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

Waiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap ForwardsWaiting for the Great Leap Forwards

...they say you gotta make lemonade . Well, I don't have any lemons, and I'm all out of taco shells. Sometimes you have to improvise--in this case, by using nacho cheese corn chips to make some truly splendiferous nachos!  What does any of this have to do with that poor, misused '63 Mercury up top? Heck if I know, but hop in and get over here, these nachos are delicious and while we're eating, you can tell us all about  your day--after all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credits: AK

Celebs: they're just like us! They have to drive themselves home after a long day of work! Jessica Lange recently sat on a panel at PaleyFest and shared that she and her fellow actors had to drive themselves home from the set during earlier seasons of FX's American Horror Story . "We would drive ourselves home at like 4 or 5 in the morning, park on some street in the French Quarter, and find our way home," Lange said. She was presumably talking about season 3 of the show, where Lange played a witch alongside Sarah Paulson, who was also on the panel. Paulson laughed when Lange shared he grievance, and Lange went on to say that FX was "too fucking cheap" to provide the stars with cars or drivers at the time. What do you think, Peckers?
