I've always felt that the "doo wahs" in the background of "Excitable Boy" when describing all of the horrible things the title character does is a very effective and creepy juxtaposition.
His cover of "Raspberry Beret" with REM is awesome.

Time to go beat up a supplier - the next time I post I will be back in the States with a potential storm bearing down on Northern Ohio with snow potential of in excess of 1 foot.
But I will be back home and be able to play my guitars.

Well the storm that was suppose to hit early evening, hit about 20 minutes after I left Toronto, or at least the first wave. By the time I hit Buffalo I passed 3 accidents. From Buffalo to Erie, PA I saw countless accidents, one that had us sitting on I90 at a standstill for one hour. The 5 hour drive home took 8.5 hours.
I got home and said "I missed you so much, I don't think I could go another day without you" my wife smiled and said that is so nice and then I had to tell her I was talking to the Strat (just joking)

In my old home town there was a band that called themselves "Lawyers, Guns & Money" -- consisting of a couple hunting enthusiasts, someone who had a day job at a bank, and a local attorney on keys. Rumor has it they sometimes took their pay from a particular bar in white powder. 20+ years later, the keyboardist is now the president judge in that small two-judge county. Funny how things work out.

I know a couple of stories like that. I guess it is a product of the era when we grew up. Oh wait, I never grew up.
