Lyrics

This one is virtually snark-free! Consider this a "Tom Wolfe Tribute" Tribute. I think segments like that elevate the show. File this under "Why We Listen"

"Here Comes My Girl"

You know, Tom Wolfe, was the kinda guy
Gave this old guy something to shoot for
And I’m gonna say you’re never gonna find a non fiction masterpiece that’s better than The Right Stuff

‘Cause when he put his words in order
No one else could rise above it
“The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby“
Don’t forget “The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test”, that said:

Hey, “Here comes Tom Wolfe”, “I loved Tom Wolfe!”
Yeah, that dude could write, as for me I’m just alright
