Love how it starts out a piano tune and then revs into a great rocker. Very bouncy and I would love to see it played live. Put it on the next tour's set list, Bryan. Hey, how about preparing a set list for an imaginary tour, understanding, of course, that there'd have to be slots for the new material. Or, if you prefer, Bryan goes on a Steve Miller-style nostalgia tour. What's the set list?

Since I'm not intimately familiar with Bryan's solo stuff (yet), I think I'll take a different route: Roxy Music goes on a Kiss-style reunion tour.

But I also like those ones that hint at the "angst" of the modern era, you know the ones that evoke Nietzche (eh spelling?), the demise of Europe, the sadness of wanting to have religion in our modern, disposable culture, the sad, decadent "cafe life" songs that remind me of Kurt Weill. I can think of "Mother of Pearl," "Song for Europe," or "Triptych." Hey, I'm an art historian, ok? I just love those songs!
