Just another day in paradise

by anna at 10:27 AM on March 17, 2005

Sometimes the best stuff on albums is between the cuts. My favorites are:

From Jackson Browne's Running on Empty:

*snort, snort*
*distinctive sound of blood dripping on a mirror*
Unknown Person: Blood on the highway.
Browne: I dunno. I either gotta take more of it or less of it. I can't figure out which one.
Sounds Like A Brother: Well, I'll tell you what it does take. It takes a clear mind.
Browne: You mean it takes a clear mind to take it or a clear mind not to take it?
SLAB: It takes a clear mind to... make it.
Laughter all around.

From Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedos:

What sounds like a teenage girl's voice: It's just the normal noises in here!
The implication being obviously lewd.

Oh, and it's my b-day. I'm 46. I have a 30 year life expectancy. But somehow I just don't see that happening. Then again, those last few years aren't all they're cracked up to be. You're broke, addled, brittle, homeless, crippled by ailments and probably alone in this world. You can have that. I can't use it.

The Tenacious D album made me piss when I first heard it, especially the, "Hard fucking," thing.

"They're not into that, but you know how you check? You say, 'Get on top baby', and if she f*cks you hard, you know, 'Aaah, you're into the hard f*cking! DO YOU LIKE THAT!? DO YOU LIKE IT!?'"

I highly recommend this album, it's perfect for driving to. Happy birthday Anna, here's hoping you reach 90.

Thanks a lot. I'll be senile, bitter, resentful, scorned and tell the same boring stories over and over. The fatal car wreck, becoming a murder suspect, Whore Hey's escapades, college frolic, how I met my wife etc. That's why I've devoted my life to slow suicide.

Happy Birthday Anna! Yaknow, if you meet me in person, I really only have three stories myself. Just imagine that you're working on the perfect delivery.

Hey that works for me. One of my finest moments was the open mic night when I finally got my seatless bicycle race routine right and people who weren't my relatives laughed rather than cringe. It's all in the timing.

I don't think "the same boring stories over and over" applies when one of your stories involves becoming a murder suspect. Just ask O.J.

And Robert Blake. Everybody walks in SoCal.

Days before the guy got shot and was thrown in a sewage pond, I'd broken a wooden speaker grill over his head, dragged him outside and left him there out cold. He'd been stalking my GF. The police got wind of it, and poof, murder suspect.

They convicted Scott Peterson...

Nope, He's Northern Cal.
