Tom's Diner
Posted at 7:47 AM on September 24, 2008
by Dale Connelly
We ran a little "diner" medley on the Morning Show today, pairing Carrie Newcomer's "Betty's Diner" (a made up place) with the DNA remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" (a very real place). By pure coincidence, Suzanne Vega wrote an essay about the song in the New York Times today, describing its phenomenal success and how it stands at the intersection of several avenues of sonic experimentation and led to her getting the nickname "Mother of the MP3".
