MOSP: We were living in ATX and had just stepped out of a library book sale downtown. We heard Alejandro Escovedo, followed the sound, ending up outside of a fenced in concert. We watched through the fencing and listened, as Alejandro finished the song, his last. Disappointed to have missed the set, we stayed anyway. When Roky walked onto the stage I started jumping up and down. He hadn't played live in quite some time.

If I could find the Jad Fair cover of this anywhere useful, I think I'd just jam songs called "Starry Eyes" all week...
