Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd
There's a scene in Dazed & Confused, one of my favorite movies, where the kegs have been emptied, the night is creeping towards dawn, and the inevitable is arriving-the end of the party. It's a moment of melancholy, as the gathering of revelers is dispersing into the early morning hours. Accompanying this scene is this song, a song that perfectly fits that moment, recalling a scene that I have long ago retired from in my social life, but that I can still taste--the warm dregs of foamy beer from a cheap, clear plastic cup and the decision to be made-continue to chase the night or tap out on the evening. For quite some time, I've been happy to experience that feeling vicariously through this seven minute song.
