Spike ,'Sleeper'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

He is gone to story now, but what stories they are.

Mose Allison and Leon Redbone too.
...and now Sharon Jones.
I guess everybody knows that her band, the Dap-Kings, played behind Amy Windhouse on half of Back to Black, right?
That is just one loss too many for me.
I saw her live in September. She was a firecracker.
Oh man! I was thinking about going to see her next month. She was going to be in Hartford.
Wait so Leon was Leonard Cohen and not Frank Zappa like the big rumor?
Ack I just got LDB'd. It might be Peter Gabriel but I still lose. Anything but Bing and Bowie loses.
