Peter K.:

↳ Song: "Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" by "Emma Swift"

You know, as many times as I've listened to this song, I don't think I had noticed until now that it contains the words "cowboy mouth," which I have long known as the name of a play co-written (a few years later) by Patti Smith and Sam Shepard (and, I just learned, a band). Live and learn!

By the way, Emma Swift is amazing.

Am I glad to be in America? Well, I'm glad when I hear records like this one! ♥ 12:54pm
Irene Trudel:

↳ Roberto @12:51

I might've been sitting it it, if it was between 8:30am and 10am, dealing with stupid alternate side parking. (The sweeper sailed right by us all. Such a waste of time!) ♥ 12:57pm
