Jackpot

Certain songs make no sense while driving through the mountains of western Massachusetts. Twice now, this one has found its way onto the car stereo in just that situation. Both times, a fabulous wrongness. As much as I love Rain Dogs, sometimes I wish old Tom had never come out the other end of his '70s piano n' booze haze. You got it buddy, the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

    True, those are different mountains, with their own senators.

    Things in large print offer promises. Things in small print amend or negate them.
