In Karen Tyler's Finger Lakes book there's a picture of her beating the snot out of me when she stopped in Canandaigua. That beating I kinda liked.
Did she used a pink flamingo?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It has a nice double-meaning, as "lies" can be a verb or a noun.
"It's a song full of Joe-lies."

That's because most of the cliches come from his life. With a strong helping of Robert Johnson.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well that clears that up then. Have now moved on to Lipscomb though who is just breaking my heart.

Ms. Tyler fits me like a flesh tuxedo
She likes to beat me with her pink flamingo
See, it is possible to channel Wonderfalls and Spinal Tap simultaneously. Now, just for Heather, I'll simultaneously channel Manilow and Lipscomb with my rendition of "Oh, Mancey"...

Must see Rufus someday.
On this topic, I saw him open for Roxy Music a few years back. He was very good, but it was an odd pairing. Roxy was sublime.

Jim, you didn't rise to my early Ultravoxx bait. No use for their first three albums with Foxx?
