Nice song. But damn, Suzanne Vega is such a bitch.  And that Tracy Chapman, she's so f**kin' ugly! Tom Waits can't sing for sh*t and does Elvis Costello think that playing guitar like a three year old is music? And what's up with carpet muncher K.D. Lang! I'm just not listening to music anymore unless these people straighten their sh*t out!

His name is spelled "Damian". I know because I was named after him. He was a brilliant DJ and, on the occasions our paths crossed, has proven to be a kind, gentle man, too.

To his credit, Damien gave me one of those moments when I had to pull the car over and listen to a song.  It has only happened a handful of times.  He got an early copy of "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor and played it before anyone played it, before MTV got ahold of it, i.e., he played it first.  Perhaps sensing that some people might be pulled over at the side of the road, blown away by this new artist, he let it fade to silence, and then finally spoke up:  "A compelling song."  It sure as hell was.

Yep, Milo was good.  I heard a lot of Weasel's show during a brief period of unemployment; he was great with the facts regarding the song or artist.  Damien's dad all but ruined that station over his insistence that they continue to employ Damien after a bad traffic accident that left Damien with a speech impediment.  They felt it was a matter of employing the disabled, but others, including myself, took the view that his occupation required a certain diction and comprehensibility that he no longer possessed.  If LeBron James gets his legs run over by a train and the Cavaliers release him, it is not discrimination against the disabled; it is recognition that he can no longer perform what his job requires.

I'll be damned.  According to Wikip. she's 2 weeks older than me (7/59).  I'd have thought she was MUCH younger.  Love her music, and she's very good live.

She is the sort of artist that I'm sure Amazon would tell me 'people who bought what you like also bought Suzanne Vega' and when I look at my collection I think I ought to like her, but for some reason I cannot put my finger on, she irritates me. I think this may have been magnified by RP's huge crush on her. But that's not a complaint - I'm sure it's my problem...
