"Peel the years back, see it all. Written on the subway wall"
The frivolous:
1) I have recently rediscovered an album that has turned into a guilty favorite of mine. Back in 1989, Dion (of Dion and the Belmonts/Runaround Sue fame) cut an album for Clive Davis(the inspiration for Santana's comeback) called "Yo Frankie." Chart wise it didn't do all that much, a tune he did with Patty Smythe (And the Night Stood Still) did become a fairly minor hit.
The material on the album is good. However, two songs in particular are almost transcendent. "Written on the Subway Wall/Little Star"(w/Paul Simon guest vocals) and "King of the New York Streets" are among some of the best pieces of music I have heard in the pop genre in a hell of a long time. This album has faded into the mists, and I thought I would take a second to shine a spotlight on it.
"It's Just a frozen yesterday
To make it more would take away
Remember the wonder of It all -
Written on the subway wall"
2.) I have found Jimmy Hoffa and DB Cooper. They are currently residing in the trunk of my bosses car.
3) In a venomous discourse I uttered today about Celine Dion, I found out that a large number of Canadians hate her as well. For public record, I will state that she is the most convincing argument I have ever been able to find for invading Canada.
The Serious:
Over the last few months I have been in an introspective mood. As my friends will admit, I get that way often, it's just that lately I have been a bit more vocal about it.
