Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The Pogues are playing at the Riviera March 5 and 6. I know aurelia was interested when I mentioned it at dinner, but I wondered if any other Chicagoistas might want to go.
