I was just watching a T.W. video the other day and Tom was playing "I
Never Talk To Strangers" from FA. It's a live recording without Bette
Midler. It didn't have the same impact. I guess I've just been
accustomed to Bette singing, "Your life's a dime store novel. This town
is full of guys like you and you're looking for someone to take the
place of her." _Tom: "You must be reading my mail"...
One of my favorite images from Jack and Neal is:
Jack was out of cigarettesssss as we crossed the yellow line. The gas
pumps looked like tombstones from here. Felt lonelier than a parking
lot when the last car pulls away. And the moonlight dressed the double
breasted foothills in the mirror, weaving out a negligee and a black
brassiere.
> "Potter's Field" from FA is Tom Waits' 'Paprika Plains', I think...

My car just broke down so I have to walk to the post office. I'll have
to listen to these two songs side by side on my way there. Hmmmm-
interesting.
