The Style Council
They met at a job interview.
She questioned him.
He filled out the application.
They were married in two years
And moved to her home, Chicago.

What a town! Got pulled over going to work and the cop asked for my license and what I did for a living. I asked him what he needed to hear to let me walk! Alderman? Mayors office? Four years in the city, what a great run! Salt of the earth.

I miss Chicago. Odd, I was always looking to leave. This song reflects the city I saw going through a divorce. I'll never forget it. Beautiful and full of what I thought good was -- even in bad times.
ReplyDeleteI'm also fond of Loleatta's manicure.
