Driving Home 6/16

Nasty traffic jam driving home today, but plenty of good music on the radio. A couple of thoughts:

1. Whoever decided to put mariachi horns on Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire deserves some kind of award.
2. You wouldn't ordinarily think of teaming up Graham Parker and Lucinda Williams, but Cruel Lips works just fine.
3. So I'm driving up the Henry Hudson on the last leg of a long trip home, and a deluge of biblical proportions opens up just as the DJ puts on Crowded House singing "Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you", satisfying my minimum daily requirement of irony.
