I have loved these gals since 1978--haven't heard them in a while....so glad to get re acquainted with them again.....so glad..........so beautiful.......
Yep, I have been there, on my knees, scrubbing out behind the steam table. Restaurant folk, like theater folk and circus folk; a fraternity of people making a living on their way to making a living mixed in with the professionals. When it all comes together just right, it is magical. Kind of like the Roches. Yeah, magical! Rock on.
Been listening to the Roches live for 30 years (and records and CDs of course)......they are so talented. Fun to watch, fantastic to listen to. Go Roches.
I never had any desire to hear this group. Just not my thing, I thought. Then I heard that they worked with Robert Fripp, and I realized that there was probably something different about them, so I listened. I fell in love. So sorry that I waited so long to check them out. Thank you, Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy for everything that you give of yourselves and making my life (and so many other lives) so much richer!
bought this in glagow about 1980,have been a life long fan ever since, beautiful lyrics and amazing vocals even live thank you for posting this friend.
Don't know why this song just makes me cry like a baby.. I don't think it's the words, it's the harmonies that are doing it to me.. Dar Williams finishes the treatement with 'Sometimes Southern California wants to be Western New York' .. In heaven and being ruthlessly tortured!
They are still amazing after all these years and they are my friends. I had dinner with them and Robert Fripp and their folks to celebrate the album release at the Bottom Line in NYC. Yea thanks for mentioning Dave Herman& Vin Scelsa. great days
This song is so clever. It smuggles its antithetical message past the inattentive listener with such skill (I have to admit that, to my shame, I was that listener when I first played this album so many years ago). Brilliant.

Still wonderful after all these years...

This… just might be… the greatest song… EVAH!
If you worked in a restaurant that is certainly true.

The Roche Sisters are just "awesome" (oops sorry about the last century adjective).
Thank you for posting.

Vin Scelsa! I've been away too long. Remember the 'Butch and the Brick'? WNEW was the absolute best Radio Station EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!
I love the roches!
This is music as it used to be-this ain't designer pop or whatever people buy now.
Their version of Sleigh Bells is the business
Me too!!!
Dixie Chicks? Are you kidding? The Roches are true masters.
@TheIrishtaffy --there's a song they wrote called The Death of Suzzy Roche ... it's just a funny song; Suzzy's alive and well!
RIP Suzzy
@TheIrishtaffy my friend said he read it somewhere, i guess he could be wrong.
