For weeks I've been talking up and soliciting suggestions for an episode exploring songs about escape - escaping a person, escaping a place, escaping a problem. As one who likes to wander, this recurring theme in Eddie's songwriting has always had a special resonance with me. So on #45, we're hitting the road and exploring new territory on the podcast.
I'm probably not going to ruin any surprises for you by telling you that MFC makes an appearance here. It's a great rendition but Ed has a "perfectly imperfect" moment on the last verse and flubs my favorite lines of the song so I thought it only appropriate to include here.
"They said timing was everything,
Made him want to be everywhere,
There's a lot to be said for nowhere..."
Hope you enjoy the ride.
Cheers! Donny

From the car lmfao!
IN THE YEAR 2000!
LOOK OUT!!!
Nice pick on 'Of The Girl' - one of my fav versions,
Yes Mike, just came here to leave a comment about Mike's shredding on that tune, too.
great job, Don. The first four--Gone, Off He Goes, Thumbing My Way, Untitled/MFC-- top my list of PJ escape tunes too..Mike just soars in that "Off the Girl" pick--awesome... and oh, Sandy should host/co-host more often..:-) Peace1
Thanks y'all. This might have been the most popular episode yet! Sandy will definitely be back.
Glad so many other people thought Mike killed it on Of The Girl -- just a great version. I also loved the Sonic Youth-inspired noise jam on RVM.
