Weird - I'm having one of those All Roads Lead
To.....sorts of weeks re: Triumph.  I would like to
state for the record that I LOVE "Lay it On the Line."
Almost as much as I love "Ah Leah," and "Street of
Dreams" by Rainbow.  Do! You! Re! Mem! Ber! Me! o-hon
the stree-et of dreams!  Did that dude sound just like
Lou Gram, or was I just younger then?

In seemingly unrelated news, I had a moment of sheer
ridiculousness today coming home on Lake Shore Drive
(always an opening movie shot in the making, IMHO,
speeding up LSD) - a lovely chicago spring day, early
crowds wandering around Grant Park and the Lake,
traffic not too terrible, the wind in my hair, the day
in front of me, and the song that was playing
was...."Hot Girls In Love." God help me; Loverboy.  So
instead of feeling like a hellhot indie rock racer
girl I pull into town feeling a little bit like Sonny
Crockett, truly, truly amazed at how much of that song
I could authoritatively sing along to.  How similar is
that to "the heat is on," anyway?  And did they
cannibalize "HGIL" for "Workin for the Weekend," or
was it the other way around?

Now "Lovin Every Minute of It..." That would have been
almost appropriate.

And I note with some amusement that there is a Triumph
anthology coming out this week called Livin for the
Weekend.  Close enough!

Dang, all of this chatter about Triumph sends me back
in time; and has made me want to go fish out my
sisters Trillion 8-tracks.  Surely she must have them
tucked away somewhere?

np: that mars volta "widow" song and I'm SUCH an
assmonkey for not getting tickets to see them next
week - TWO sold-out shows, Mon and Tues. Shame on me.
I flubbed Alkaline Trio, too....sold out.  Dang.
