Interesting crossexion. People seem to love all the many sides of Tom and I see why. Some of those earlier songs are just too dam good to resist, like Ol 55 and Heart O Saturday Nite.

Is Telephone From Istanbul the one that has the good advice to "never drive a car when you're dead"?

You bet it is!

never trust a man in a blue trench coat
never drive a car when you're dead
Saturday's a festival
Friday's a gem
dye your hair yellow
and raise your hem
follow me to beulah's on
dry creek road
I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
take me down to buy a tux
on red rose bear
got to cut a hole in the day
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
my baby's coming home today

Yeah. Thats it! Rockin song. The bloke has a way with words, though I often dont know what the Hades hes talking about.

Be fun to live in his world though I guess youd have to develop a taste for Filipino box spring hog and rattlesnake piccada.
