Joe,
This is truly some dark sh*t my friend.
(Remind me to change the oil in my Pinto my own self).
  11:37am
Listener Alexandra:

We don't have that many, Joe...but next time, check out Gregory Page--he was once a Rugburn, but took much more of a John Prine approach. If you can find a record of his called 'The Romantic Adventures of Harry", consider it highly recommended :-)

Re: shanda, a friend of my family's who was raised Pentecostal was asked if any particular real words were uttered when people spoke in tongues, and he said "shanda" often comes up.

One of my great regrets in life is that, in my years working at the record store, nobody ever asked for Mojo Nixon, so that I could tell them "Nah, he don't work here!"

No worries, Joe--and "Cyrus" (from the same record) is a great story song :-)

(i shoulda said that "a letter to harvey milk" was absolutely terrific. it first ran in 2012. lady in front of me started to tear up near the end, which got me emotional. so, i concentrated on the annoying man next to me who nervously shook his leg during the show. hate that. oh, play is based on a short story of the same name.)
