Can't pay my bills with a rainbow, Bret!

If the rainbow leads to the pot of gold, then maybe it's a spin on the adage of, "It's the journey, not the destination."

That line always had a gay subtext message.
A Rainbow (gay flag) is better than a pot of gold = woman's genitalia= devil's truffle = can't handle heterosexual drama.
That with the cross dressing image........despite all the band members being straight.

The entire lyric is:
Life ain't no easy ride
At least that's what I am told
Sometimes the rainbow baby
Is better than the pot of gold
So clearly, young Bret, was philosophically looking at life as a ride. A journey. Perhaps he was telling us to just enjoy our lives and live in the moment. Enjoy the journey it takes to get to where you're going. Enjoy the hard work you have to put in in order to be successful. As much of a cheeseball as he is, he's got a strong work ethic and a good attitude.
It's also possible he stole it off of a cocktail napkin or a Chinese fortune cookie.

I think he meant the Rainbow Bar & Grill.

See, I prefer the under the booth blowie. Blowie in the bathroom means I have to struggle back down the stairs while drunk with post-blowie weak knees. Recipe for disaster.

Bud, you can just stay in the dance room or go up to the HV nook and do blow.
Re: Why would the rainbow be better than the pot of gold?
I'd like to smoke some pot of of gold at the end of the rainbow where lemmy is sipping a fine beverage and playing a video game.
