Flashback

This video of Jill Sobule singing 'Don't Let Us Get Sick' (written by Warren Zevon) is a flashback to a road trip I took through the cornfields of rural Ohio in 1995. Was there a bichon frise puppy involved? Perhaps. But it is a fact that a pit stop at Grandpa's Cheesebarn took place. It was the beginning of autumn and there was a comforting chill in the air; our teeth were coated in the grainy residue of candy corn and the music of young Jill Sobule gave us a calming and dizzying comfort.

Strange, how 13 years later, the song is still very relevant to me. I love the lyrics.
