    Man, I love this album - lyrically, a masterpiece. This Old Porch is one of my faves:

    "And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas
    With lots of cheese and onions
    And a guacamole salad
    And you can get'em down at the Lasalle Hotel
    In old downtown
    With iced tea and a waitress
    And she will smile every time"

  2. Knocked Out Loaded/Bob Dylan, I know most folks consider this Dylan's low-point, but any album with Brownsville Girl on it is not a "low-point"...
    No Guru, No Method, No Teacher/Van Morrison
    Laurie Anderson's Home of the Brave
    Did you put Elvis' King of America?
    Springsteen's Live 1975-85 box set
    Guitar Town-Steve Earle
    Ivor Cutler released 2 that year...Gruts and Prince Ivor
    So-Peter Gabriel
    Your Funeral, My Trial -Nick Cave

  3. Thanks Erin, adding the lyrics was a nice touch.
    And Harry, it's an honor to have your magnificence comment on my blog. Picking Bob Dylan's Knocked Out Loaded is an interesting choice...I think you've been hanging around that cartoonist, Philbert, a little too much. I hear you're Phil's campaign manager, eh? You must like a challenge!
