Yesterday, I was listening to WFMU's random song generator*, when it spit out a chunk of Joe Frank. I was working, so I wasn't focusing on Joe at all, but one line caught my attention:

"The women come and go, speaking of the Regis Philbin show."

I love the T.S. Eliot reference. Makes me wonder why Joe decided to change "talking" to "speaking."

* WFMU might be my new favorite radio station, right up there with KFJC. The WFMU random song generator spits out 10 random chunks from their archive of the last two weeks. Cool stuff:

    according to the theory of the big bang, the universe exploded from a single point, and then space itself expanded because there was no such thing as preexisting available space to expand into. and so stars, planets, solar systems, and galaxies have been travelling out in every direction ever since. everything has been flying away from everything else for at least 15 billion years.

    and on one small, obscure planet, an anomaly. an accident occurs. a chance combination of carbon and nitrogen atoms fuse into a single cell, a speck of organic life, which leads to increasingly complex and evolving forms, struggling for existence. and what develops over the course of millions of years is a creature, walking on its hind legs, with free will.

    that's us.

    that such an accident occurred out of absolutely nothing is even more absurd than the idea someone or something created it. so, if you want to find god, maybe you shouldn't look in scripture, but out at the planets, the stars, the universe, and then, at the world we live in.
