where the name of my blog comes from:

Artist: The Who
Song: Baba O'Riley (thanks trinsf!)


Out here in the fields
I fought for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally ,take my hand
We'll travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
So let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh..yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted

--
I like the idea of living full-out.

Okay, I have to have a moment here. The name of the song is not Teenage Wasteland; it's Baba O'Riley. Teenage Wasteland is not even the parenthetical title of the song; it's just *not* the title at all. See the Wikipedia entry about it.

eek, you are absolutely right! when I did the search I just grabbed the first link I found with the lyrics. ;-) Thanks.

OK... call me slow

or AT LEAST, ENTIRELY TOO literal.
I AM the woman afterall that couldn't figure out "sir_ender" until someone explained it to me. (faulty brain wiring, I'm afraid)

I STILL don't get where lobolance comes from.
Thankfully, I get the lance part,
but what does lobo have to do with this song?

LMAO . the name of the blog is "I put my back in to my living", that is what the post is addressing.

Lobolance is just a handle I have been using since I entered the online universe way back when. It's pretty basic... wolf (logo)... me. I have had a connection to wolves since childhood. I know I'm the only leather/alternate spirituality person to ever say that. :-D

Your not slow just confusing two different elements of his LJ.
lobolance is his LJ user name
"I put my back into my living" is the title of his LJ; equivalent to your "Not all those that wander are lost"

For Lance the title of his journal "I put my back into my living" is a conversion of a line
from the song the song Baba O'Riley by The Who.

This all started because I asked where the "I put my back into my living" came from. He explained that it came from the song but I still couldn't make the connection or understand what it meant. So perhaps I am the slow one but perhaps the reference is too vague for us mere mortals to figure out :^)

In any event, if we can't understand the connection or understand what it means, that it means something to Lance is perhaps all that matters.

The quote from the song is:
"I get my back into my living"

The name of your LJ is:
"I put my back into my living"

Anyone outside of your head will have a hard time connecting the reference :^)
