Correction: To Honor the Holiday, Matt Damon and Tom Waits
"Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops"
Reason #6,666,666 that Tom Waits rules.

That Matt Damon video makes me wish but one thing: that I had a Vespa.
Oh, that scene at the 50-second mark--hand on the throttle of a fine Italian motor scooter, flying down a hillside road, wind in your hair. Emersonian ecstasy!
My friend had a Vespa once. He played drums in my band.
One summer my band played in North by Northeast up in Toronto. The day before we were to leave, my drummer just got hired and was to start work at a computer/ video game store at the mall, Babages I think. Before he hi shift was to start, he drove around a neighborhood by his house. As he approach a traffic signal that just turned yellow, he decided to go through it. Unfortunately, a lady heading in the other direction decided to go through the light as well, except she was turning left at the intersection. They collided, my friend flew off his Vespa and rolled for 200 yards. Luckily, he only shattered his entire left leg and ended up with a few cuts.
Megs wanted a Vespa in Texas. Every time she mentioned it, I wold her this story.
But Megs isn't a rebellious rocker who spits in the face of traffic laws and reputable jobs.
Did you play the gig?
