Good! Morning! NASHVILLE!

It's a cloudy rain day here in Seattle. Ditto Nashville. "Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go."

Dated? You bet. But update the hair and the clothes and you've got a Tea Party anthem for 2010 right there. Better still, everybody knows the words.

But just in case your don't:

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Here in Nashville we're writing a whole new definition of the term '100% humidity,' as the creeks rise exponentially. It's all okay as long as I can still get to the gun range up in Joelton for a little target practice...you know how us small-town girls like to shoot 'em up on rainy days! Meanwhile the Tea Party convention rocks on.

Yes, but remember -- in the movie Monster, that song was also serial-killer Aileen Wuornos' personal anthem!

I'm not getting how this is a teaparty anthem.

It'd be great to start a Tea Party song compilation.

He's one by Lloyd Marcus in case you haven't heard it:

I remember the January rain drove you to Florida a couple years back...and now, isn't this wild? the whole country is shoveling snow and here we are with an early spring...if you just stay in Seattle everything will come your way it seems.
