Last Call at the Last Chance Bar

Picture this:

 You and your friend Binky are sitting at a corner table finishing up after a long night of your favorite drinks. You've laughed your butts off, talked politics and world problems, you've talked about fond memories and how the hell your are going to pay for your kids college tuition and put away enough money for retirement, etc...etc.

You both notice that Hillary and Bill Clinton are sitting at the bar. It's been a long night for them and they seem to be in a somber mood as they order their last drinks for the night.

It's time for you and Binky to get home. Tomorrow is Easter, and you both have to go hide all those eggs and candy for the kids tonight.  Before you go, you decide to play one last song for the Clintons.  You go over to the juke box, you press number ______ and play a really special song for them.

Think of this as an adult easter egg hunt.  Have fun with it.  This diary is for those that still have a sense of humor intact, because after this past week, the writing is on the wall, even if some people think its done in invisible ink.  Happy Easter.

I'm pressing J 25 for this song:

Don't Cry Out Loud

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

  I'm working on my last drink. Except I've got a few more and I've got Gram Parsons on the radio. I'll hang around. $1000 Wedding.

•  When I find an old jukebox with real records...

  I always play the B-sides.  In this case, the Last Chance is a way-out-of-the-way pub in Scotland and the jukebox is full of the same Tears for Fears singles that were there two decades ago.  I play "Ideas as Opiates" the b-side of "Mad World."

      Question is:  What do Hillary and Bill need?
