"Fortress" by Pinback?? Now, where did THAT come from? Needless to say, I was thrilled. It's one of my favorite songs. But I sure never expected to hear it in a place like that. As I shopped, lip-syncing along, I felt relatively sure that no one else in the store at that moment knew what it was, let alone the words. It was surreal.

Almost as surreal as walking down a street near the inn we were staying at in northern Kyoto, the previous evening, feeling pleased that we were getting to see a real Japanese neighborhood without so much Western stuff, only to turn the corner and discover a towering shopping mall with a huge L.L.Bean outlet at the base of it. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V5 #171 *******************************
