Total Dismay

I was watching the video by Tom Waits and I saw the thumbnail for this one in the related videos.

I really like this girl’s voice. I don’t want to over-explain why I decided to post it, but here is a quote from another good songwriter that might shed a little light…

I played Love Tara by Eric’s Trip,
On the day that you were born.
I had to find the cuteness, in the unadorned,
But I was torn.

Actually that probably doesn’t explain it at all.

Iraq has been on the verge of Civil War off and on for the last few years. America had its own civil war a short time ago and the end of this clip has some interesting commentary about the senselessness of people killing each other because of some silly geopolitical situation. The words are a little sappy and over-simplistic. that doesn’t mean the scriptwriter wasn’t right.

I am going to start mentioning events that I plan to avoid on my blog. This will help any reader who is trying to avoid meeting me IRL at all costs.

On June 13th and !4th, I will not be at the Washboard Music Festival. It is taking place in Ohio and I am worried that Neil Young might show up and do an impromptu performance of the political song of the same name (the 385th Greatest Song of All Time). He is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and I suspect that he plays the washboard, even though it’s not a real instrument.

I try to continue to like Neil Young and I really don’t have anything against washboards either. I just worry that things might get out of hand.
