Senseless

This is just plain sad.

"State police in Punxsutawney said Bertha Kitchen, 63, was pushing her granddaughter in a baby carriage at 11:20 a.m. on the western berm of East Main Street in Mahaffey Borough, a town of about 300 people where they live. A car driven by Bobbi Jo Morgan, 22, of Patton, Pa., who was apparently leaving a methadone clinic, drove off the side of the road and hit the grandmother and carriage. "

Thank god for methadone clinics. They make the streets much safer. Unless you're a grandmother out walking with your grandchildren.

The Bottom Line - Big Audio Dynamite

This song was track 4 on the album This is Big Audio Dynamite which was released in 1985.

I first heard this in '86 or '87 on Pittsburgh's only alternative radio station. This radio station was called "The X" if I remember correctly. I probably don't. I found the cassette in a bargain bin a few years later. It was later lost at sea in the Great Saltwater Flood of '91. I've somehow managed to come up with a copy on CD. Heck, I've even managed to find a 12" version of the song which I never knew existed!

Lovely track that really takes me back to some good times!
