The compound is under construction. Gathering enough plywood, galvanized tin and used trailers takes time, not to mention stockpiling all the shotgun ammo, canned goods and bourbon.

Fabulous list. You are totally forgiven for the non-randomness.
Hey, I've got some Tom Waits on my Ten today too-- Springsteen's cover of Jersey Girl.
Hmm-- two from London Calling, Two from A Vision Shared, a classic Pogues track-- pretty good!
I just bought A Vision Shared on cd finally.
Especially loving The Pogues track ... now I need to weed through my Alternative folder to see if I have that one ...
Excellent list on all accounts Bubs. Elvis made my list today too.
Johnny's mentioned A Vision Shared and I've seen it mentioned here and there and everywhere lately. I may have to rebuy it disappeared with all my other cds years ago when I was burgled. If only I'd known you then!
I love that tom waits song! he is such a trip, isn't he? have you seen the video? you can catch it on music.launch.com.
dude, I just realized that I sound like a spam for yahoo. ewwww.
J.G., Tom Waits is the favorite of nearly everyone in this household. I suspect Miz Bubs might answer Bob Dylan. The highlight of our summer last year was seeing his show in Chicago. It was 2.5 hours of brilliance.
Dale, A Vision Shared is a good record. There's only one or maybe two tracks that aren't wonderful, and I know it sounds sacreligious to say this, but I prefer the covers on that record to many of the original Guthrie versions.
Beth, isn't that an amazing song? I cry nearly every time I play it.
Johnny, now that I'm back I have to visit everyone's blogs and see what you've all been up to.
Barbara, I'm always in need of forgiveness. Thank you.
