Lincoln Highway
My dad missed my brother’s funeral
He was having brain surgery
He’d collapsed the night before
While I was writing the eulogy
It was a fucked up situation
Everything was so terrible
It was almost funny
It was almost bearable
Then I had to sell my dad’s house
And almost everything he owned
Doctors said the time had come
To move him to a home
I asked if I should set aside
Anything for him to keep
He told me to choose a few things
He wasn’t losing any sleep
Now I'm driving the Lincoln Highway
And all my thoughts are grim
Trying to locate my way
To become as free as him
He simply said goodbye
to eighty years’ of things
I hunger for the weightlessness
Such letting go can bring
My friend Daphne helped me
Arrange the estate sale
The vultures lined up at 6
Me and Daphne bailed
Now I'm driving the Lincoln Highway
And all my thoughts are grim
Trying to locate my way
To become as free as him

Too Much Joy Scarsdale, New York
TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 5 fans who also own “Lincoln Highway”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
