Today as I was driving to and from the auto repair shop I rediscovered a tape I had of Tom's with Even a Gray Day on one side and Up and Up on the other. I haven't heard this tape in 15 years and one side I think I never heard. On the never heard side is a song Tom wrote about the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan and the Olympics. As heard this song for the first time I just roared. I knew itwas topical in 1980 but suddenly its topical again. Nearly perefct just like it is it would take little fine tuning to make it fit the current events.

When he began the bridge with "Rise and shine Afghanistan Rise and shine." I was laughing so hard I nearly clipped a mail box.
