Post tarts...you have a song!

I finally got around to listening to the new Barry Thomas Goldberg cd "The Last Guitar" today and ...freaked out! He's written a song about our regular posters on the Forum, dubbed, I think be Mr.Seel, as the Post Tarts.
Meeting them at the Ave on Saturday and now this?!? Bizarre!
I played it tonight and couldn't quite get me head around it?
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I just had to note the immortalization in song of our fans...bravo!

You DO know that BTG is a "Post Tart", right??

And for the record - "Post Tart" was first coined by "Gorgeous Insomniac"...good on her!!

Yeah, I love BTG and Post Tart Girls!

I save a broken sparrow and have a heart of gold (which is somehow sexy).

Mark, it was great meeting you in person the other night!

Is it life imitating art imitating art imitating life? or is there some other moebius strip kind of action going on here?

Yes, twas me that named the PTs. We were Forum Fiends and then we were Post Whores and then Post Tarts. It stuck. Like glue and you aren't getting rid of any of us!

I am still so mad I couldn't go to First Ave on Saturday night.

Just for the record, I wasn't sleeping. I was working.

Yeah! BTG!

I'm not really a Post Tart, so maybe I can be objective (heh-heh).

"The Last Guitar" (title track) is just as catchy as "PTG," though not as much "single" sounding.

The album is rich.

I'd stack it up against whatever ya' want to stack it up against.

My sources tell me it's in the window at the Fetus.

I feel a buzz...

I enjoy "The Last Guitar" as well.
As I've repeatedly said, and will continue to say, "My Drunken Boat" is my favorite song on the CD. I would love to hear that on TC some day soon.

I also like "My Drunken Boat", but would definately like to hear "Grace" on the Current. I think it would fit in nicely.

I love "My Drunken Boat" & have asked for it to be played on TC. :)
