#Alan Cumming #Cabaret
"We did a cabaret show together back when we were younger. He was 29. I was 42. And we were both married at the time. He called me up twenty years later when he was passing through my town. We’d both gotten divorced. After we met for drinks, he leaned down and kissed me, and said: ‘I wanted to do that 20 years ago.’ Then a semi-automatic drove by and honked the horn, I swear to God. It was all very exciting. I mean, I was a grandmother! So on our second date, I said: ‘Before we order, I just want to let you know that I want to go to bed with you.’ Then I took him home and we didn’t leave for three days."

The Day The Children Danced
It was three generations from the time a starman said “Let all the children boogie” before the children finally did.
No one knew how it happened or why, or who put the album in rotation,
But somewhere out in the outlands, at the crossroads of nowhere and everywhere, where the night wind blows in off the desert and the highways stretch out into forever, a radio station with chrome walls and…

Out On The Airwaves
There is a radio station out there at the crossroads of nowhere and everywhere. Out in the outlands beyond all lands, where the night wind blows in off the desert and the highways stretch out into forever.
Where the Sun never rises to bring the mundane morning, but the Moon is always full and bigger than she should be and she shines down a silver day as the stars gleam bright in the vast black…
