Back when that incredible experiment of a radio station, KREV-105, played "True Dreams of Wichita" and "Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago" in fairly heavy rotation.

Have you heard his collaboration with They Might Be Giants on the "Mink Car" CD? It's called "Mr. Excitement" and it's one of the coolest songs (and coolest CD's) TMBG has done.

You're right, the guy is just incredible, in a Jon Anderson kind of way. The lyrics don't always make sense in and of themselves, but they stick in the mind and really give you something to think about and enjoy.

So glad I logged in before bedtime and caught this post. I'm smiling now. :)
