Every time Tom writes that he's taking the A Train, I end up humming Duke Ellington.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah. And when I lived on 107th, I was singing "Across 110th Street" every time I grocery shopped!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was once walking past the corner of 53rd and 3rd when that Ramones song came up at random on my iPod. Didn't see any male prostitutes, though.

I love when stuff like that happens. I was walking in the Public Gardens the other day when I heard that Augustana song "Boston," and almost cried in public!

Hah! That's kind of awesome.

Hmm. I can lay claim to the theme from WKRP, and that's about it.

Kinky Friedman's "Sold American" has the line "Once you heard the Opry crowd applaud/Now you're hanging round at 4th and Broad," which I think of every time I'm at 4th and Broad in Nashville, which happens at least a couple of times a year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It Never Rains In Southern California better not come on. Though, thanks to the falseness of the subconscious it feels like every song is about the rain.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I have mentioned that there is some serious sketchiness going on at my job.
Well now one of the people involved in the non-business work that has been going on has resigned. He holds a sensitive position in the company, which would usually mean a quick departure, but he is hanging around for over a month! Also, his boss has not informed other of the resignation, but the resignee is talking about it openly today while boss is away. NOW, in addition, an employee of the resignee (this one is not involved in the non-business work that has been going on) has turned in a resignation. Resignee is talking about that openly and big boss doesn't even know yet. SO SKETCHY.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
To the WRONG CITIES. Stoopid Omar Minaya lost Bengie Molina and Joel Pineiro. The Mets need to fire his ass.
Hey, he dodged a bullet on Bengie. Giants fans are livid that Sabean re-signed him. Thirty-five year old catcher with declining defensive skills who is (a) the slowest player in the MLB, and; (b) owner of the lowest OBP in the MLB. Plus he's blocking the arrival of stud-in-waiting Buster Posey.
Admittedly, Omar's done crappy with the kind of budget he's had. The Mets could've had Joe Blanton from the A's for a rosin bag and a throwaway outfielder.
Tom Waits songs are packed to the brim with specific corners and addresses. That's why it's so easy to do the LA tour about him.
10th and Hennepin in Minnesota, though, is the one I would most like to see.
Tep, there are some other Cincy songs. One by Scott Walker. And a country song or two.
