Sometime to Return - Soul Asylum
I had the temerity to say to Dave Pirner that he was Husker Du protege once - when an Immigrarion Offiicer many years ago - he told me to fuck off. Such is life...... I still like this song
We there was a little bit of a wind up. Part of it was to break the boredom. High summer caught on teh North American flights arrivals could be mind numbing.
He used to date Winona Ryder. He used to be at the top of the billboard charts. He used to have name recognition. And now, he's the shaggy haired musician that time has pretty much forgotten about.
I hate 'Runaway Train' with the intensity of a thousand sporks jabbing me in the ears. Easily, the most overplayed song of the 90's along with 'losing My Religion.'
Cool song. Comparing one musician to another, to his face... you do like living dangerously, don't you, jams? :)

I like the word, 'temerity.'
ReplyDeleteAt least he never had the Wino(na) forever tattoo! Runaway train was irritiating, that I agree!
ReplyDeletetemerity is a good one, eh!
