Sometimes, you really have to weigh between coincidence and paranoia. I’m listening to music in my office via the excellent SliMP3 device from Slim Devices. I’ve got it set to play a shuffled playlist from everything in my iTunes library. It just came up with the following consecutive songs: “Goodnight Saigon” by Billy Joel; “Mercenary” by Go-Gos; and “Time” by Sarah McLachlan. That last song has a lyric that includes “…I don’t remember what we’re fighting for.” Given the curent world situation, is my technology making a political statement?
If it then plays Lives in the Balance, you know you’ve got a problem.
tom has “lives in the balance” in his iTunes library?
Thanks to Dori, I have the entire Jackson Browne oeuvre.
