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.

It's not his Jewishness that freaks me out -- as the article points out, Phil Spector and Irving Berlin were both Jewish -- it's his Dylanness.
Songs about getting Chinese food and seeing a movie?
I did that last Xmas. And then, for the trifecta, I saw Yo La Tengo at Maxwells.
