Bill should play the song off this album about the guy driving down the highway with a pitch fork tied to his steering wheel. Bruce is fantastic and about as eclectic as you can get. It is the title song

Hoping I'm not repeating myself: I fly into Portland from Louisiana to negotiate a large block in a very nice campus style office park for a subsidiary of the holding company I'm working for during the tech rage of the 80's. I had been dealing with leasing officers, but this time we're going to ink a deal with the CFO of the park parent or scrub the project. Large, distinguished man with grey hair and silver glasses. Impeccably tailored suit. I'm a mid twenties (thinks he's a) hot shot ready to do battle.
We're all setting down to hash out the final and most crucial details when the introductions begin and he hands me his card. I looked at it, at him, at the card again. I kept waiting for everybody to crack up at the joke on me, but we go into a serious three hour session.
Somehow I kept it together and managed to come out pretty good, but negotiating against Dick Porn is not as easy as you might think. |

I would have never believed that the Cocteau Twins' Iceblink Luck would segue so perfectly into this, but the time and key change was flawless.
Salutations to the cook!

I'd recommend "The Charity of Night", "Humans", "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws", "Stealing Fire" and maybe "Night Vision" as an oldie. Here's a link to his discography, with album covers: http://www.cockburnproject.net/albums/chronology.html |
