Comment:

I cain't hide what I am, I haf to be sad when I should and not laugh at nuthin,
eat when my stomach's growlin' and not sit around waitin' for someone who ain't gonna come,
sleep when I'm tard and not git in noone's stuff,
laugh when I got reason to and I won't piss on nobody's back and tell `em it's rainin'.


Posdata: doowadette and I have been reading the Picture of Dorian Gray, she the scaled-down Spanish version and me the college dork edition, hence the title.


Posdata 2: The Tom is for Tom.

i love how you follow up the wonderful tom waits track that kicks off disc 2 with the a song by johnny cash, written for him by waits - very clever - this is filled to the brim with classics, as always, i absolutely love it - dylan, waits, cash, stones, gillian welch, elvis, white stripes, byrds, kinks, merle haggard, hank williams, bruce springsteen...so many favorites of mine

Great stuff. I especially love your Springfield-Stones-Waits run and your selection of one of my favorite deep Dylan cuts ("Temporary Like Achilles") on disc 1 and your Nesmith, White Stripes and Kristofferson picks on disc 2.

This is stellar, to Anthony's point, the front 6 on side two are wonderfully sequenced.

A Wilde one!
Particularly pleased to see the Kinks & Stripes mixing it up with Townes, & Billie with Gillian, but they all seem to be getting along together very nicely -

Sweet mix. Really like Sugar Never Tastes So Good, and Silver Tongued Devil is one my favorite Kristofferson songs, though I haven't heard it with Jackson Browne.
