Liz Phair

Liz Phair is a favorite of mine and her 1993 debut album "Exile in Guyville" is on many "Greatest Albums of All Time" lists.

I was listening to the album in my car as I made the long and scenic drive from Santa Cruz to San Jose recently and I noticed Liz seemed to be singing about Sea Monkeys. I don't know how I'd failed to notice it before. From the song Gunshy:

Sea monkeys, do monkey's
Story of my life
Send three bucks to a comic book
Get a house, car and wife
Send three bucks to a comic book
Get a house, car and wife

Long and scenic? Please tell me you're referring to Hwy 9 and not Hwy 17! 17's nice, but 9 is longer and scenicker!

I mean 17, but I'll have to give 9 a try sometime.
