before you leave L.A., how about solving a few more lyric mysteries?
Here are a few to which I've wanted definitives for a while:
Driver 8 - Who "did this song in a plane like that one," pilot

Little America - What follows "tree tar-black brer sap"? (sounds
like "he's in there son, it's the tame, a lodging, not
stockader's game" but I don't think that's right).
Old Man Kensey - What line precedes "stand on your head"
(sounds like "John, Bill and Ed").
Sitting Still - you confused everyone with your Rolling Stone
recollections. What is the chorus?]

into the song.lil amer.-no idea.kensey-no idea.sit.still-come on now that is

would like is to play in smaller venues (sorry if not the right word) like

that you want your fans too intimate and whatnot, but have you considered
doing such? i may be biased but there's a nice little club in new haven ct

Oddfellows that "These Days" has garnered so much attention of late. The
version performed here in Seattle in 1989 was pretty amazing, but JMS intro
(". . .but which was discovered here, in your town. . ." etc). Anyway, could
you still sing that song with the conviction with which it was written and
performed? (Springsteen, for example, should never play "Born to Run"
again .) Or has your outlook changed too much? (mine has). I'm curious.]

Here's a particularly lame question/situation: I once went out with a girl
from Milwaukee who claims (and I believe her) to have been Peter's
girlfriend. What's more, he dumped her for the woman he eventually married.
Apparently, my young lady friend hung out with youse a bit down South. The
question: do you remember her (tall, Greek, long kinky hair), and should I
send her back after PB now that he's splitsville?]
A:>i know zip about a tall greek woman/pb

From: Koudelka
Stripey-
I forgot to tell you about this book I want you to read. (I'll drop one off
for you before you go.) It's called IN THE ABSENCE OF THE SACRED and it will
amaze, enlighten, and terrify you. I can only get through it in sections
because it's so damned sad. Last nite was cool beans, warm beer, in a hot
town. A nice try.
(Alex does seem great. Give her my # and tell her to use it sometime.)
Stay in touch. (Hurl a brick my way every oncet'awhile.)

Q:[Subj: Stipey, Date: 94-07-21 21:28:13 EDT, From: CBT Man
I have a question about Losing My Religion. When you were on Unplugged you
said, "This is about YOU." I interpreted that to mean that you had written
the song about hero worship by your fans. This especially hit home for me
because I have a friend who is a big fan and used to dress like you, get his
hair cut like you, etc. Were you aiming LMR at people like that or do I have
an overactive imagination.]
A:>when we did unplugged, i guess pop.notion was that lmr was
autobiographical.in fact, i was just trying to top everybreathe you take for
obsessive love song.hitting a common chord is a writers goal.i thought id
done a great job w lmr,blah blah blah
>see you all soon.later.xoxo m.

we dissected every song
i remember this...
i remember stayin up late
thinkin of askin stipey on a date
even though c.feedback is great
nothins better than driver 8
i remember this...
i recall my world went black
when stipey thought i thought he was fat
the jupiter thing wasnt all that
i was only refering to the big red birthmark on his back...
and the smog...was gray
i went on online every day
thinkin of somethin clever to say
knowin that soon he'd be far away
i guess he took us for a ride
with a kind gesture...
