I'm Coming Apart, Apart At the Seams / RE: (TV) The kids, they love Television!/WFTF

["Leo Casey" <LeoCasey@comcast.net>]

I know Deb's last question was directed at Jesse, but in addition to the
album's title track, 'WFTF' (an 'A'), I really like 'Postcard From Waterloo'
(A+) [short but beautiful guitar solo]; 'I like True Story' (B+);  and
'Coming Apart': (B to B+)

Maybe my next comment might awaken Keith from his silence :> )  
Ms. SecretX claimed that 'Coming Apart' was a song about phone sex (and that
in particular, it was about a phone sex episode she had with Tom when they
lived on opposite Coasts of U.S.).

Fingers and stone. 
Holding and holding 
Hurts to the bone. 
It comes on the dark 
These ridiculous dreams
I'm coming apart 
Apart at the seams 
I'm coming apart

The "June 4, 1982, The Ritz, NTC" bootleg features a stellar version of
'Coming Apart' .... Maurice Rickard once described Tom's playing on that
date as "ferocious".

Hey, William, did not read your e-mail until I had already written mine.
Great minds think alike.  :> )

I would just be curious, which were the 2 songs off of WFTF that you liked?
And I'd have to disagree w/ you in regards to the album cover,  I think it's
great.
