When I think about this song, I cut myself.


just to see if you're alive?


That's from some Goo Goo Dolls song, right?  I couldn't tell you which one; they're all interchangeable to me.

Well, there's "Hurt" from Nine Inch Nails (and notably, Johnny Cash):
"I hurt myself today.
Just to see if I still feel."


I was thinking of both actually, but the lyrics from "Iris" match more specifically:

When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
"Music is the Earth, People are the Flowers, and I am the Hose."

WOS to Jesus Jones, which I loved when it came out but succumbed to one of the worst cases of overkill in pop history.


If Dave would play either of the other singles, "Real Real Real" (which was a solid Top Ten, iirc) or "International Bright Young Thing" it would help.

BOS2 to one of Mellencamp's best post-megastardom efforts.

I'm afraid they're well on their way.  A shame, too, since it's a pretty song to hear every once in a while.

I really wish, though, that Dave had followed up that tribute with "The Show Must Go On" or "Who Wants to Live Forever" rather than this Damn Yankees song.

Who's this singing with Ms. Raitt?  Sounds a bit like Bobby Womack, but less prone to outbursts.


was it "good man good woman"? if so, yup, it's bobby.

Hmm.  Well, guess I wasn't paying attention.  I'm thinking of a different song...
ETA:  I take it all back!

The 10:00 meeting I thought would be 20 minutes turned out to be an hour.  Glad to see I didn't miss a goddamn thang.

Meanwhile, the KPOO stream seems to be working, and working well, for a change.
