Grenadier playlist

Hells bells, so many to choose from.


But give it a minute, the Poms will be along in a little while to tell you AC/DC is a British band. 😉
Oh please. The British have a long history of claiming stuff that isn’t theirs (says the American avoiding the icy glare of all Native Americans - and Hawaiians - and Puerto Ricans - and Mexicans - and . . . )

Texans - any ZZ Top you want to propose? Such as, ahem, La Grange? No pressure. I know how delicate and sensitive you are. “Y’all are???”

Talking Heads and Lynyrd Skynyrd - that is some creative fusion. Respect.

No claim, AC/DC is an Aus band initially formed in Sydney, no British claim registered

I’ve had quite enough of the discussions on tariffs, economics, and trade. Let’s remember why we’re here. This is what happens when the French release their inner redneck, just like the Grenadier. To be sinners. To be saints. To fight, to love, to drink, to dance, to embrace (and probably to die in) the wild - enough with the bureaucracy and banality. “But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I shall vomit thee out of my mouth.” ~ God

Asked ChatGPT to write a song. I didn’t think it was bad, GROK’s wasn’t good.

“Built for the Long Way”

Verse 1 – Rock Crawling
Low range humming like a heartbeat slow,
Steel on stone where the fast won’t go,
Axles twist, let the tires bite,
Every inch earned in the fading light,
No chrome dreams, just gears and trust,
Climbing on faith, iron, and dust.

Chorus – Vision of the Grenadier
It’s a tool, not a trophy, built honest and strong,
For the road less taken and the nights run long,
From a man who believed when the world said “no,”
Sir Jim’s vision rides in every bolt and row,
Built to work, built to roam, built to stand its ground,
The Grenadier rolls where purpose is found.

Verse 2 – Mud & Rain
Brown water flying like a thrown-down gauntlet,
Rain on steel, no fear of it,
Tread cuts deep, engine pulls true,
Through ruts that swallow lesser shoes,
Laughing at the storm, wipers beating time,
Dirty as hell and feeling just fine.

Chorus – Vision of the Grenadier
It’s a tool, not a trophy, built honest and strong,
For the road less taken and the nights run long,
From a man who believed when the world said “no,”
Sir Jim’s vision rides in every bolt and row,
Built to work, built to roam, built to stand its ground,
The Grenadier rolls where purpose is found.

Verse 3 – Overlanding
Canvas sky and a map worn thin,
Fuel, water, food, and a world to win,
Days stretch out, miles fall away,
Tomorrow’s just another place to stay,
No hurry here, just forward motion,
Chasing horizons, dust and devotion.

Chorus – Vision of the Grenadier
It’s a tool, not a trophy, built honest and strong,
For the road less taken and the nights run long,
From a man who believed when the world said “no,”
Sir Jim’s vision rides in every bolt and row,
Built to work, built to roam, built to stand its ground,
The Grenadier rolls where purpose is found.

Bridge
No screens to save you, no lies in disguise,
Just steel, grease, and mechanical pride,
A handshake with the past, eyes on what’s real,
Built by belief, not a marketing spiel.

Final Chorus (Big, Open)
It’s a tool, not a trophy, built honest and strong,
For the road less taken and the nights run long,
From pubs to prototypes, from dream to the road,
Sir Jim lit the fire, and the Grenadier rolled,
Built to work, built to roam, built to stand its ground,
The Grenadier lives where purpose is found.

Outro
When the trail disappears and the silence gets loud,
You’ll know why it was built—
And who believed it should be.
