Lay Down Sally
Lay Down SallyHearing Eric Clapton's 1977 tune "Lay Down Sally" on my way to work this morning brought a huge smile to my face. I realized it was the first time I had actually heard it in full since seeing Tracy Letts' August: Osage County.
Given that the first track from the same landmark Clapton album "Slowhand" is "Cocaine," I had a sudden epiphany this morning for why Violet Weston might have such an affinity for his work.

Speaking of addictions, I think we may need to stage an August: Osage County intervention with you, my friend.

You know, that popped up on the satellite radio twice yesterday at Barnes and Noble and had immediate flashbacks.
Chris, I can't control what they play on the radio.
...But given that I'm thinking of seeing the show again...
Steve, I'll be your enabler. Let's go!! :-D
It's good but it's not like t's SWEENEY TODD (or even Wicked for you) for cyrin' out loud. ;)
