What Tom Waits made it in the Christian music festival?
Tom's written several gospel songs, actually. Notably "Jesus Gonna Be Here." "Way Down in the Hole" also lends itself to a gospel reading.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

Catching up in Music... Hec, you've put Glad Girls and the glorious image of Diana Rigg in my head. I thank you for that. And on topic, I forgot how much I fucking love the Raveonettes song Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed) until I heard it on my way in to work this morning. While I think it's lyrically great, I kind of wish it was about something not so serious so I could enjoy it more cheerfully.

Yay 90s! Yay Dame Rigg! (I'll be writing a HiLo piece about her this month).

Well, at least its there for a righteous fist pump when you need a good fuck-you-misogyny song.
Recently I heard "Smoke on the Water" and was once again boggled that such a mighty riff was attached to such a lame lyric. I mean, "Smoke on the water / fire in the sky..." sounds all apocalyptic, but really the whole song is about how they were mildly inconvenienced because the studio burned down.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
"Smoke on the Water"
The first version I ever heard of that was part of a Weird Al polka medley, so that's how I always hear it in my head.

You have no idea how much DW and I want to be at that Matador show. Alas, wee Shane will keep us home bound. We were Matador FREAKS back in the day.

Smoke on the water does allow for the best ever sorting the men/women from the boys/girls pop trivia question, though:

Chocolate Jesus, Dead and Lovely, I Know I've Been Changed (not Tom Waits originally, but he's done it), and...something else I cannot remember at the moment. It'll come to me.
