It's funny, how songs leave a lasting impact on you when something big occurs. I spent a greater part of Monday morning listening to "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde, particularly "Caroline" and "The Sky is a Poisonous Garden." Funny enough, later on at work I was musing the idea to call Q 104 and ask them if they had it - they were doing an "All '90's Memorial Weekend," and I thought maybe they would, but then got lost in my work.

An hour or so later, what came on the radio but "Caroline."
I was all happy-bouncy, giddy that a CLeveland station even had Concrete Blonde still, and that they didn't play "Joey."

When

wraptboy called me to let me know what had happened to Bats, two things flew through my mind, almost simultaneously:

1. The scene in Stephen King's Pet Cemetery, where the little boy goes running out in front of the truck.

2. This line from the song, "Caroline":

In another life I see you as an angel flying high
And the hands of time will free you, you will cast the chains aside
And the dawn will come and kiss away every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes

*sigh!*

( A Memorial to Bats to follow... )
