Cool. Will have to check that out. Truthfully, some of Tom's weirder stuff (Black Rider, Bone Machine) leaves even me scratching my head. I don't so much mind his peculiar instrumentation (brake drum, anyone?) as the lyrical disjointedness of those albums. That is especially true because he can write some incredible lines-

"The moon's teeth marks are on the sky..."

"If I had all the money I used to spend on dope,
I'd buy me a used car lot, but I wouldn't sell any of 'em.
Just drive a different car every day, depending on how I feel."

On a different front, I have a good friend who is a major Traffic and Steve Winwood fan. He passed on these 2 jokes regarding "Higher Love." The first has to do with the instrumental opening:

"Steve just can't get his car started..." (For those who don't get it, listen to the opening... and put it on a loop.)

Second was a lyrical malaprop:

"Bring me a ham on rye" (As opposed to- "Bring me a higher love."
