Have yawl ever heard Tommy's song "Art's Garage"??? Not sure if it ever
made it to record. It's dang good.

Motel for Misery is quite good.

I like "Tucked In, Hidden, is Love for somebody." I want to record a
Harry Connick, swingy version of it.

I will have to check it out because I like David Bowie. However,
that image in the Grand Opening liner notes has always spooked me --
because I couldn't see enough limbs for two people, I assumed it was
supposed to be newborn Siamese twin infants -- to fit nicely with
the lyrics of "Welcome into the World" that are on that page.
However, since the very concept of conjoined twins is painful for me
to accept, I made it a rule to not look long or hard at that
graphic. However, I think you're right -- there are two complete
people there (I just discovered the 4th leg :) And if they're not
completely naked, they seem to be only covered in streaks of
something (streaked streakers!) The left hand one looks a bit like
Greg, so I'm assuming the other is Tommy? Mondo bizarro.

Speaking of random Geggy Tah connections...

I have been weeding out old CDs and trying to sell them on the
internet. Among these was a Crash Test Dummies CD I hadn't listened
to in 8 years or so. However, it would seem that even 11 years
after the debut of this album, the world is still oversaturated with
unwanted copies. So I gave up trying to sell it and decided to
listen to it again to determine if it would A) retain a spot in my
CD rack or B) become a coaster. Turn's out I'll be going with
choice A becaue I'm finding that the self-conscious philoso-
geekiness is charming me all over again. But what really made me
laugh is track 9: "When I Go out with Artists," which pokes fun at
the art world and its groupies. There's this line "If I could see
all the symbols, unlock what they mean, maybe I could meet the
artists and get to know them personally." It made me think of us,
fortunate Geggy Tah devotees, and the fact that we have had many
cyber-visits from our very own artiste -- and we didn't even have to
unlock all the symbols first! What a nice artiste, eh? But the
killer -- the song also mentions David Byrne! "If I were David
Byrne I'd go to galleries and not be too concerned, I would have a
cup of coffee and I'd find my surroundings quite amusing and people
would ask me which were my favorite paintings."

And so as a Certifiable GT Groupie, I shall now ask the Lord-High
Emperor of GT Groupieland, wherever he might be, "Mr. Byrne, Sir --
in this wondrous gallery of Geggy Tah songs, which is Your Favorite?"

"oh -- and can I get you another cup of coffee?"

And then at last I will know, in the words of the Crash Test
Dummies, "which should be my favorite."

And then I will be at peace.
