Alone Again Or

Calexico covered a song called "Alone Again Or" by the band Love.
A beautiful song. (link to the concert)

--------------------------
...I heard a funny thing, somebody said to me,
"You know that I could be in love with almost everyone.
I think that people are the greatest fun." ...
--------------------------

Something about that line really gets me: I think that people are the greatest fun. What a wonderful outlook. That runs so contrary to a lot of the sentiment we see in the world. It really bothers me to see bumper stickers or hear people quipping about how stupid everybody is or how they're surrounded by fools. I think that people are the greatest fun.
Why not?

I guess it doesn't hurt that it's my favorite band doing the song. Anyway, have a great day!

That post just reconfirmed everything that I thought of you Jay, in a good way though of course. Too funny. As I read it I laughed to myself and thought, "ahh, yes, i do miss jay."

Have you guys listened to Calexico? You can download a lot of their stuff from their website or the NPR website.
