Here's a bittersweet song from Loudon Wainwright III. It's interesting because knowing that Rufus is his son, it becomes sort of biographical in both artists lives, although at the time it was written, I'm sure Loudon didn't know what Rufus would become. Fortunately, I am not anywhere near the tension between a father and son that develops when kids get older, but I'm sure it will happen som...

So this is a bit late, and I meant to post earlier, however, MOG does not like me and quite frankly, I am feeling a little upset about that. So why should I put my feelings up for all to see? Especially when MOG apparently lives a week in the future, as it says I'm 28 now, whereas I won't be for another week.

Loudon Wainwright III (yes, Rufus avoided being IV) recorded a series of songs for NPR based on "topical" events and released a CD of those songs called Social Studies.This little ditty was obviously inspired by the Beatles "Reunion" tracks Free As A Bird and Real Love, as well as other duets with the dearly departed. I thought it appropriate to present to a cyber-roomful of music lovers. Enjoy.
