  1. Sounds like a Beatle tune.  

    "It was 20 years ago today

    Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play"

    Haven't watch the milwaukee auditions yet, so don't know if this is what you are talking about.


  2. Was that the one with the girl who came with her mother, and they said she looked like Uma Thurman?

    Was it this one:

    Parameters by Ani DiFranco

    thirty-three years go by

    and not once do you come home

    to find a man sitting in your bedroom

    that is

    a man you don't know

    who came a long way to deliver one very specific message:

    lock your back door, you idiot

    however invincible you imagine yourself to be

    you are wrong

    thirty-three years go by

    and you loosen the momentum of teenage nightmares

    your b*****s hang like a woman's

    and you don't jump at shadows anymore

    instead you may simply pause to admire

    those that move with the grace of trees

    dancing past streetlights

    and you walk through your house without turning on lamps

    sure of the angle from door to table

    from table to staircase

    sure of the number of steps

    seven to the landing

    two to turn right

    then seven more

    sure you will stroll serenely on the moving walkway of memory

    across your bedroom

    and collapse with a sigh onto your bed

    shoes falling

    thunk thunk

    onto the floor

    and there will be no strange man

    suddenly all that time sitting there

    sitting there on what must be the prize chair

    in your collection of uncomfortable chairs

    with a wild look in his eyes

    and hands that you cannot see

    holding what?

    you do not know

    so sure are you of the endless drumming rhythm of your isolation

    that you are painfully slow to adjust

    if only because

    yours is not that genre of story

    still and again, life cannot muster the stuff of movies

    no bullets shattering glass

    instead fear sits patiently

    fear almost smiles when you finally see him

    though you have kept him waiting for thirty-three years

    and now he has let himself in

    and he has brought you fistfuls of teenage nightmares

    though you think you see, in your naivete

    that he is empty handed

    and this brings you great relief

    at the time

    new as you are, really, to the idea that

    even after you've long since gotten used to the parameters

    they can all change

    while you're out one night having a drink with a friend

    some big hand may be turning a big dial

    switching channels on your dreams

    until you find yourself lost in them

    and watching your daily life with the sound off

    and of course having cautiously turned down the flame under your eyes

    there are more shadows around everything

    your vision a dim flashlight that you have to shake all the way to the outhouse

    your solitude elevating itself like the spirit of the dead

    presiding over your supposed repose

    not really sleep at all

    just a sleeping position and a series of suspicious sounds

    a clanking pipe

    a creaking branch

    the footfalls of a cat

    all of this and maybe

    the swish of the soft leather of your intruder's coat

    as you walk him step by step back to the door

    having talked him down off the ledge of a very bad idea

    soft leather, big feet, almond eyes

    the kinds of details the police officer would ask for later

    with his clipboard

    and his pistol

    in your hallway
