In Raleigh, listening to

Those bands playing
the alt-country music
in the bars downtown, who
were young once, not
long ago. Today, they
play not a desperate
song, or a youngman's
song, but a cool PBR
song, or a Budweiser
song, or a Coors -- Banquet beer! --
song, yes, a song about all of a man's many
wrongs, sounding like a
long and winding drive into the mountains
of Appalachia and into Tennessee and further
and further into the rest of the west.
