Yeah, SOFp, the DDS can be sublimely dewy.

My "slap patrons" story: A big lug patron at my public library in SoCal who was likely strung out on who knows what, but also routinely attacked by local cops, one day attacked a librarian at our branch with one of those newspaper spindles. We banished him from that site, and demanded that he exhibit no disruptions whatsoever at our main site.

Naturally, I was supervising the day he decided to mumble incessantly.
I called the cops, who appeared and advised that I, "the librarian," would ask him to leave the building, which I did.

Two weeks later I'm in Oceanside, CA, far away from my library, en route to a professional association event. I got there early to grab coffee. As I drive through, the main street of Oceanside is empty, but for one lone guy wandering. I'm in the City van emblazoned with official ID.

The coincidence rattled me in many ways.

Naw, good reading is not era-specific. If it was good, really good, then, it's still good.

I will never not love this album with all my heart. It sounds as innovative and stunning today as it did in... ulp... 1996!

I finally figured it out, thank you Wendy for suggesting I was on the wrong stream!! How weird, but it all made sense on some level.

Ultimately, Charlie, he was banished. But I have a strong suspicion that in fact the cops did pummel him. Not acceptable.

Oh, I missed Robyn earlier. Is that the same version as the 12" where he hits the mic with the guitar at one point? The needle almost jumps off the record if you don't have your settings right.
