Nothing like a business trip to make you appreciate the virtues of home. Some people are invigorated by the suitcase-dragging life and savor the constant sense of newness each hotel brings. I am not one of these people. When I'm traveling on the clock, slapstick disaster is always just a moment away. Logistics won't behave, and keeping the caravan of personal affects together is like herding a pack of restless dogs. It's no vacation, to be sure. Which makes me appreciate the astral flights of Sun Ra even more. Especially when they feel like the soundtrack to a very cheap '50s sci-fi film.
Sun Ra and the Myth Science Arkestra - Eve
There are so many reasons to love this song. Great vintage rock n' roll groove. Louisiana roots. Dude playing the girl and frog parts with equal gusto (or at least the very fact that there is a frog part). Corey Haim singing along with it in the bathtub in The Lost Boys. Take your pick. But the best thing is that Mr. Henry seems pretty aware that these will be the best 2:20 of his life.
