To Dallas..and beyond!!!

Made it safely to Dallas last night. I listened to tons of David Bowie on the road and have a new appreciation for his musical artistry and hear how contemporary musicians 'quote' his music in stuff they are putting out today. (Sound and Vision is quoted by The Doves in There Goes the Fear track on The Last Broadcast album. Then there is the Vanilla Ice sample from Under Pressure, of course).

I listened to the new Death Cab for Cutie. You can sing Blondie's HEART OF GLASS in a slower tempo to Track3 of that album. I did just that, several times.

But perhaps the funniest part of it all is the car I'm driving. It's the only thing Enterprise would rent to me for a one-way rental. When I got gas in Vicksburg MS, the guy in the pickup next to me totally looked shocked to see me getting out of the cab of this vehicle.

Stayed with a good friend in Dallas. Got to have breakfast with her and her husband. Got to see their crazy cute 2 year old. It was so great to be in a house for the first time in a month.

Speaking of houses - if anyone has friends in Austin who can give me a place to sleep - let me know!!!
